1. Review Game for Chapter 1 Biology - Majda

2. When a hypothesis has been tested so many times via a variety of credible experiments that all support that hypothesis, it comes to be known instead as a _____________. THEORY

3. Type of reproduction in which a new organism arises from a single parent and has the same traits as that one parent. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

4. The difference between a community and an ecosystem is that an ecosystem also includes all of the ___________________ factors in a particular area. ABIOTIC (NONLIVING)

5. In Redi’s experiment in which he compared the development of maggots on meat in a jar covered with gauze to that of meat in a jar that remained uncovered, what was the independent variable? WHETHER OR NOT A JAR WAS COVERED WITH GAUZE

6. Redi used the same type of jars for both groups in his experiment, and the same type of meat. He also exposed both to an environment in which the same type of flies were buzzing around. All of these factors that he kept the same for both groups are known as __________. CONTROLS

7. Redi counted the number of maggots that appeared on the meat in each jar. This date is based on what type of observation? QUANTITATIVE OBSERVATION

8. When following the steps of the scientific method, what do researchers do after they collect data from observations they make while testing their hypothesis? ANALYZE THEIR RESULTS/DATA

9. Which scientist developed an experiment in which he created a glass flask with a curved neck that allowed air to reach the broth inside while microorganisms got trapped in the bend and were therefore prevented from reaching the broth, thereby definitively refuting the notion of spontaneous generation? LUIS PASTEUR

10. This is the part of the earth that contains all living organisms BIOSPHERE

11. Living organisms use materials and energy through the processes of ___________ in which chemical reactions occur in the body which form new molecules and break down old molecules. METABOLISM

12. This molecule encodes the instructions that control cells and are responsible for genetic inheritance (the passing of traits from one generation of a species to the next) for all of the living organisms on earth. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
