Document Summary
Study guide #1 for biology 1201, section 5. Objectives: students should be able to define and understand the following terms and concepts. Don"t know poop cuz our fake genius sucks. Domain kingdom phylum class order family genus species. Important characteristics used to classify organisms: prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic, aerobic vs. anaerobic, autotrophic vs. heterotrophic. Three domains of life: bacteria& archae are prokaryotic, eukarya- protists, plantae, fungi and animalia are all eukaryotic. Inductive reasoning- from a set of generalizations to a hypotheses. Deductive reasoning- generally used after the hypotheses is formed. A hypotheses must be testable and falsifiable. Controlled experiment- compares an experimental group to a control group; control groups differ in only one factor. A theory is much broader in scope than a hypotheses, it is general enough to spin off many hypotheses, and it is supported by a much greater body of evidence. Test your understanding questions 5, 6, 8, 10 (page 27)
