Biology Module 1

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.

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.
