Consult t table of critical values (if t < p at 0. 05, accept ho. if t > p at 0. 05, reject) Characteristics of life: made up of 1 or more units called cells, has genetic material, either dna and/or rna, obtains & uses energy. Catabolism=breakdown from complex simple (energy release) Anabolism=putting together simple complex: has ability to reproduce, to grow & develop, and to respond to their environment while maintaining homeostasis (balance) Cell theory: all organisms are composed of one or more cells.
