Biology Module 1
Across
- 1. The maintenance of stable internal conditions.
- 3. The process by which physical and biological characteristics are transmitted from the parents to the offspring.
- 7. Organisms that eat only organisms other than plants.
- 8. The smallest unit of an organism considered alive.
- 9. The group in an experiment that is manipulated.
- 11. Process by which a single organism produces genetically identical offspring.
- 13. Single-celled organisms.
- 19. The idea that long ago very simple life forms by spontaneously appeared through chemical reactions.
- 21. Observations involving numbers such as counting or measuring.
- 22. Organism that lacks in internal mechanism for regulating body heat.
- 24. The variable responding to the manipulated.
- 26. The collected body of data from experiments and observations.
- 29. The sum total of all processes in an organism that break down chemicals to produce energy and simple chemical building blocks.
- 30. Oragnisms that are able to make their own food.
- 31. Special structures that allow living organisms to sense the conditions of their internal or external environment.
- 32. A suggested testable answer to a well-defined scientific question or a testable explanation for observations.
Down
- 2. Many-celled organisms.
- 4. Organism that is internally warmed by the heat generating metabolic process.
- 5. A description of a natural relationship or principal often expressed in mathematical terms.
- 6. Process by which two parents produce genetically different offspring.
- 10. Organisms that eat both plants and other organisms.
- 12. The variable manipulated by the experimenter.
- 14. The group in an experiment that experiences no manipulation.
- 15. An explanation of some part of the natural world that has been thoroughly tested and supported by a significant amount of evidence.
- 16. A factor that changes in an experiment.
- 17. Logical interpretation based on prior knowledge experience or evidence.
- 18. Organisms that depend on other organisms for their food.
- 20. Observations that are not easily counted or measured such as color or texture.
- 23. The process by which green plants and some other organisms use the energy of sunlight and simple chemicals to produce their own food.
- 25. The sum total of all processes in an organism that use energy and simple chemical building blocks to produce large chemicals and structures necessary for life.
- 27. The sum total of all processes in an organism that converts energy and matter from an outside source in the energy and matter to sustain the organism's life functions.
- 28. Living creatures that are too small to see with the naked eye.
- 33. Organisms that eat only plants.
