Document Summary
_________ explain a natural phenomena based on extensive research and time (not fact), highest level of scientific confidence. (explains why) _________ describes a natural phenomena, it explains how a thing occurs but does not address why. (often describes in mathematical terms) Science and _________ are two very different ways of trying to make sense of nature. ________ houses genetic material (dna) suspended in cytoplasm. Cell wall (most forms of life posses this except animallia) Growth (increase in mass accompanied by an increase in volume, mostly results from production of new cells) Response to stimuli (sensory structures, plants respond to light slowly) Metabolism (collective product of all biochemical reactions in an organism) ->respiration (energy release), photosynthesis (energy harnessing), and digestion, as well as assimilation which is conversion of raw materials into cell substances. _______ results from polar covalent bonding, and affects atom alignment. Atrraction of similar molecules defines _________. capillary movement in plants. cohesion.
