Chapter 1 notes and answers

It's the beginning of the semister. Hadn't noticed really.

I'm in this class because 1, i like science; 2, it's a subject I need to retake.

Biology is in everyday life. From food, to medicine, to the chemical reactions that make us wonder if we spelt medicine right.

if land based, it will effect them by stopping them easy access to their breeding grounds, if by flight, not at all.

Yes. They're engineered to be safe ot eat. But to much of anythign is bad for you.

Depends. It's to early to say, and it's being atributed ot to many thing, including the sun being more active then ever(accepted in parts of England and surrounding areas), green hosue gases(accepted in USA), and the ozone hole(accpeted various)

Follow englands example and make lighter, more fuel efficient cars as well as short terms ideals while we work on alternative energy.

Bio: life, logia: study (greek roots, I didn't find any latin ones o.0)

another meaning of living: an organism that responds to simuly and occurs naturually.

1. Atoms make molecules, molecules make cells, cells form to make larger organisms, organisms evolve and adapt, but still require basic needs(fuel, food, thing ot convert into ATP)

2. Taken From Wikipedia(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostasis)root means greek, homos istemi, to stand equally. It is the property of either an open system or a closed system, especially a living organism, that regulates its internal environment so as to maintain a stable, constant condition.

3. Adaption can be considered developing.

4. ATP is a molecule used by ALMOST EVERY cell in our body. It's an amazing thing that allows us to stay alive at the most basic level.

5. Thus why self aware robots are not living. However this sparks the contriversy of whether or nto clones are living things.

6. Same as grow and develop.

We are alive in the fact that we move, reproduce, and respond ot stimulus. Fire is not alive in that it cannot reproduce or respond to stimulus in an active manner. It also does nto contain any cellular levels, and is nothing but heat at such a tempature that it becomes visible.

Earth, Ecosystem, Animal, circulatory system, muscles, muscle fibers, molecules

watching and learning, asking what is happening or what will happen, presentation of question, what do yo uhtink will happen, steps to test hypothesis, or suppsoed ideas.

a theory is the accepted hypothesis and idea. Theories can be proved wrong still however (theory of the earth being the center of the universe for example). Hypothesis are just presented ideas and are not widely or generally accepted. Theorys are the refined and accepted versions of hypothesis.

it is well thought out and heavily tested.

Checking for accuracy, spreading ideas and theories, and knowledge sharing. Knowledge is power! (TY captain planet.)

so paraphrasing is out?

Also I did this since it doesn't explain how were supposed to turn in homework. or at least it doesn't say any is due.

Hello

Hi, I'm Robert. Well one of them in the biology ten online class. This is hte second intor to biology I have taken. Due to problems iwht the previouse class, I recieved an F in it. Hopefully this will get me past that and fill an IGETC requirement I have for my A.S. so that I can transfer to a four year university for my chosen major, Computer Science. For those interested in studying togethor, I will be in the library on the third floor, near the windows to the left of the entrance when the wireless is working. Untill then I will be in the Dining Area of the mess hall wearing a Hendrix baseball cap that's gray. Feel free to drop by and study with me if you'd like.

I enjoy video games, programming, technology, humor, and company of peers. I also enjoy studying in groups due to the fact that you're not alone and can share ideas and notes. I'm taking fourteen units this fall in the form of a pre calc class, a C programmign class, an English 1A class, and this calss.

I hope to read your posts soon and learn something about you. Hopefully I'll see you in the library or mess hall sometime.

Few rules about commenting:
1. If I'm wrong, point it out politely. We're adults, not highschoolers.
2. If I point out my view, feel free to ask why I look at it this way, but don't just tell me I'm wrong, or that I'm stupid for thinking this, or so on.
3. I don't care about you'r standings in politics or religion, those things aren't related to Biology, at all.
4. I don't like spam. Spam comments will be deleted if posted. This can lead to you not getting credit if you're in the class.
