 * __UNIT 1 : STUDY OF BIOLOGY/SCIENTIFIC METHOD__**

a) A hypothesis is formed from observations. b) An experiment is used to test a hypothesis. c) A prediction is made before the experiment begins and predicts the outcome of the test. d) Data tables and graphs are used to clearly exhibit information. e) A theory is formed when several scientists perform the same experiment numerous times and achieve the same result. a) Living organisms are diverse but share certain characteristics. b) All living organisms are composed of cells, grow and develop, and are able to maintain homeostasis. c) Living organisms reproduce, producing offspring similar to themselves. d) Living organisms obtain and use energy to stay alive, and their respond to their environment. e) Seven themes unify the science of biology: cellular structure and function, reproduction, metabolism, homeostasis, heredity, evolution, and interdependence. a) Cells create tissues à tissues create organs à organs create organ systems a) A growing demand for food is a current environmental problem caused by the growing human population. b) Genetic engineering can help make food larger, with more nutrients, and resistant to herbicides.
