Which are in the correct order from smallest to largest

A system of measurement that uses powers of 10

A ____________________ is a statement that forecasts what would happen in a test situation if the hypothesis were true.

Tiny structures that can carry out specific functions for the cell to stay alive

How many domains are there in modern biology

An explanation for a question or a problem that can be formally tested.

Traits that help improve an organisms ability to survive

Organisms that are made up of many cells

Which Kingdom do Humans belong to?

Groups of cells that have the same structure and function

Information collected during an experiment.

A characteristic not essential for survival from year to year
