en CR Chapter 1 Vocabulary-Biology 27 Biosphere:All living things and all places that are found on earth make up. Biodiversity:The variety of life across the biosphere Species:A particular type of living things that can reproduce by interbreeding among themselves. Biology:The scientific study of all forms of life, or all types of organisms. An organism:Any individual thing. A cell:Is the basic unit of life. Metabolism:All of the chemical processes that build up or break down materials. DNA:In all organisms, the genetic material is a molecule called deoxyribonucleic acid. A system:Is an organized group of related parts that interact to form a whole. An ecosystem:Is a physical environment with different species that interact with one another and with non-living things. Homeostasis:Is the maintenance of constant internal conditions in an organism. Evolution:Is the change in living things over time. Adaptation:An inherited trait that gives an advantage to individual organisms and is passed on to future generations. Observation:Includes using our senses to study the world, but it may also involve other tools. Data:Observations can also be recorded as Hypothesis:Is a proposed answer for a scientific question. Experiments:Scientists study factors called independent and dependent variables to find cause and effect relationships. Independent variable:Is a condition that is manipulated, or changed, by a scientist. Dependent variable:Are observed and measured during an experiment; they are the experimental data. Constants:The conditions that do not change during an experiment. Theory:Is a proposed explanation for a wide range of observations and experimental results that is supported by a wide range of evidence. Microscope: A tool that provides a large image of an object. A gene:Is nothing more than a segment of DNA that stores genetic information. Molecular genetics:Is the study and manipulation of DNA on a molecular level. Genomics:Is the study and comparison of genomes both within and across species. Biotechnology:Is the use and application of living things and biological processes. Transgenic:Organisms that have genes from more than one species, or have altered copies of their own genes.
