Biology Vocab 2

dependent variable

• kingdom of multicellular eukaryotic heterotrophs whose cells do not have cell walls
• The outcome factor; the variable that may change in response to manipulations of the independent variable.
• in classification, a group of closely related orders
• A type of protein that speeds up a chemical reaction in a living thing

control variable

• Male part of the flower
• A variable that is kept constant during a controlled experiment.
• A classification grouping that consists of a number of similar, closely related species
• A type of protein that speeds up a chemical reaction in a living thing

qualitative data

• Information describing color, odor, shape, or some other physical characteristic
• (adenosine triphosphate) main energy source that cells use for most of their work
• the part of a stamen that contains the pollen.
• tiny particles, smaller than bacteria and other pathogens, which must invade living cells in order to reproduce; when they invade, the cells are damaged or destroyed in the process releasing new particles to infect other cells

experimental group

• An arrangement of data made up of horizontal rows and vertical columns.
• Blood cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to the body cells.
• In an experiment, the group that is exposed to the treatment, that is, to one version of the independent variable.
• Describes a trait that covers over, or dominates, another form of that trait.

control group

• A classification grouping that consists of a number of similar, closely related species
• In an experiment, the group that is not exposed to the treatment; contrasts with the experimental group and serves as a comparison for evaluating the effect of the treatment.
• collection of specialized tissues in some plants that transports mineral nutrients up from the roots and brings sugars down from the leaves
• The female reproductive part of a flower

inductive reasoning

• A type of logic in which generalizations are based on a large number of specific observations.
• Describes a trait that covers over, or dominates, another form of that trait.
• reactant of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction
• procedure that tests a hypothesis by collecting information under controlled conditions

Quantative data

• contain skeleton structures of carbon with hydrogen and oxygen
• numerical data
• Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
• The female reproductive part of a flower

diagram

• Chemical agents that selectively speed up chemical reactions without being consumed by the reaction.
• a drawing intended to explain how something works
• kingdom of multicellular eukaryotic heterotrophs whose cells do not have cell walls
• Nutrients the body uses to build and maintain its cells and tissues

table

• (adenosine triphosphate) main energy source that cells use for most of their work
• A group of similar organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring.
• An arrangement of data made up of horizontal rows and vertical columns.
• A group of parts that work together as a whole

chart

• (adenosine triphosphate) main energy source that cells use for most of their work
• An organ that is part of the lymphatic system; it produces lymphocytes, filters the blood, stores blood cells, and destroys old blood cells.
• A graphical representation of data
• a drawing intended to explain how something works
