What is the difference between a hypothesis and a theory? What is the scientific method? Can scientific theory change of be revised if new evidence/knowledge is obtained? Give an example of a controlled experiment? List the characteristics of living things? Write a brief paragraph explaining each of these. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. What are the levels of organization of living things? Describe each. What is the function of DNA How can biology enable you to make better decisions in your life? List the three types of microscopes. Write a brief paragraph explaining the advantages of using each of these. Which type of microscope would you choose to use if you were planning to observe a living cell? Which type of microscope provides a three dimensional image if the specimen’s surface? Which microscope would you choose to use if you were planning to observe an internal structure of a cell? Be able to label the parts of a microscope and explain the functions of each. Look at Table 1-1 on page 23. List the base units. List the steps of the scientific method. Be able to give examples of each of the steps of the scientific method. Be sure you understand each well. Be able to calculate the total magnification of an image if given the magnification of the ocular lens and objective lens. How do scientists share their research results? Should scientist avoid a conflict of interest when doing research? What is difference between resolution and magnification?
