The high degree of order within an organism's internal and external parts and its interactions

Used to test a hypothesis by collecting data

If you wanted to see music helped a plant to grow better, what part of the experiment would be the dependent variable?

Which is not one of the 3 domains

A statement that forecasts what would happen in a test situation

Tiny structures that carry out functions necessary for life of the cell

Chemical compounds that provide physical structure and that bring about movement

The process by which an organism becomes a mature adult

Change over time

An explanation supported by a great deal of data that confirms a related hypothesis

The branch of biology that studies organisms interacting with their environment

This is made of more that one cell

The main byproduct of all animals is

Genetic units of information for a particular trait

Traits that improve the individual's ability to survive and reproduce

Groups of cells that have similar abilities and that allow an organ to function

The reading and critiquing of a paper

When an organism produces an other like itself

An organized approach to learn how the natural world works or solve a problem

The sum of all chemical reactions that take in and transform energy from the environment

This is used for comparison and not manipulated during an experiment

Data that contains numbers

The formation of two new cells from an existing cell

Structures that carry out specialized jobs within an organ system

The maintenance of the internal environment of an organism

The act of perceiving a natural occurrence that causes someone to pose a question

This is the manipulated part of the experiment or the part that changes

A proposed explanation for the way a particular aspect of the natural world functions

The type of variable that you can manipulate or change in an experiment

the smallest unit that can perform life's processes

This is the study of life

The 3 major subdivisions of life are called

Communities of living species and their physical environments

Which is not an example of qualitative information

Examples are: Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Archaea, Bacteria
