Document Summary
Order, reproduction, growth/development, use of energy, response to environment, Homeostasis, adaptation: fill in the blanks with the organization of life from least to most complex: Scientific method: for the following scenarios, determine whether inductive or deductive reasoning was used. Inductive reasoning: no prior knowledge; based on observations. A student observes migration patterns over a period of several weeks before winter. She notices that crows have been flying south and pigeons have been flying east. She then comes to the conclusion that crows fly where plants will thrive during winter and pigeons fly towards warmer ocean air. A microbiologist is conducting an experiment on growth of bacteria in different media. She notices that media with less glucose and more fructose had 10-fold more bacteria than media with mostly fructose. This must mean that bacteria metabolize glucose before fructose. Knowing that plants have chlorophyll which aid in photosynthetic activity, another microbiologist discovers some algae that produces chlorophyll.
