Test 1Study Guide--Lab Safety & Equip, Scientific Method, Characteristics Of Life, BioChem, Conversion
1-8. Define the following words: biology, evolution, homeostasis, species, stimulus, response, organism,
metabolism
9. Be able to identify the following lab equipment: test tube, Erlenmeyer flask, beaker, petri dish, graduated
cylinder, triple beam balance, pipette, Bunsen burner. Tell me what each of these is used for in lab.
10. Explain what these major fields of biology study: anatomy & physiology, botany, microbiology, zoology.
11. What are cells and what do they enable us to be?
12. What are the six steps of the scientific method in order?
13. Be able to identify the following in given a scenario: hypothesis, control group, experimental group,
independent variable, dependent variable, and conclusion.
Ms. Aycock believes that students will perform better on exams if she promises a cookie to any student who
gets an A or B on an exam. She tests this by promising 1st Period the cookies but not telling 2nd period
anything about the new idea. After the first exam, 1st Period’s test scores were 15% higher than 2nd Period.
14. What are the eight characteristics of life? How many must you have to be considered alive?
15. T or F: Always put unused chemicals back into its original container
16. Know LAB Safety: You should always smell chemicals before using them.
17. T or F You should read all directions before beginning the lab.
18. Know how to label and use the STEP method for conversions with base units and prefixes
19. Know functions and where we get organic compounds.
20. Types of bonds between atoms: Covalent and Ionic
21. How to determine number of protons and neutrons using the periodic table (Atomic number and mass)
22-24 Define proton, neutron, electron, solid, liquid and gas
