Life Sciences Make up test guide
Make-up test study guide
Test 1:
1. 3 categories of natural sciences
a. biology: microbiology
b. physical: chemistry
c. applied: medicine
2. relevant steps to scientific method
a. observation
b. hypothesis
c. experimentation
d. conclusion
e. extra: theory
3. Science: objective, testable, fact; non-science: subjective, untestable, opinions
4. Life is is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have signaling and self-sustaining processes from those that do not,
a. Characteristics: respond to stimuli, reproduction, use energy, evolution, have DNA, maintain homeostasis
5. Organic substance: substance whose molecules contain one or more (often many more) carbon atoms (excluding carbonates, cyanides, carbides). (EX: plant matter, animal matter)
a. Inorganic: Any compound lacking carbon atoms, or when present is ionically bound to other atoms. (EX: water walt
6. Carlos Linnaeus was responsible for creating binomial nomenclature which is the naming process to give genus and species to an organism for the study of taxonomy. He is known as the “father of Taxonomy”
7. Taxons: Domain, Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species (Domain is broadest, species is least inclusive)
8. 5 Kingdoms: Monera, fungi, Protista, plantae and animalia
9. Human taxonomy: Animalia, Chordata, Vertebrate, mammalia, Primata, Hominidae, Homo, sapiens
10. Monera – Escherichia coli
a. Protista – Volvox aureus
b. Fungi – Aspergillus niger
c. Plantae – Quercus alba
d. Animalia – Spongilla cenota
11. Symbiosis is when two organism are in a relationship where at least one organism is benefitting from the other. A lichen is a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a single celled alga, while mycorrhiza is a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a vascular plant root
12. Non vascular plant: plants without xylem or phloem
a. Vascular plant: seed bearing plants with phloem and xylem
13. Eudicot: vascular, flower parts in 2s, 4s or 5s; netted
