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.

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.
