Campbell Biology 12th Edition-Chapter 11. Archaea: One of two prokaryotic domains, the other being Bacteria.
2. Molecule: two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds
3. Climate Change: A directional change in temperature, precipitation, or other
aspect of the global climate that lasts for three decades or more.

5. inquiry: The search for information and explanation, often focusing on specific
questions.
6. Organ: A specialized center of body function composed of several different

accumulate differences from their ancestors as they adapt to different
environments over time; also defined as a change in the genetic composition of
a population from generation to generation.
9. Technology: The application of scientific knowledge for a specific purpose,
often involving industry or commerce but also including uses in basic research.
10. Population: group of individuals of the same species that live in the same
area and interbreed, producing fertile offspring.
11. Producer: An organism that produces its own compounds from CO2 by
harnessing light energy (in photosynthesis) or by oxidizing inorganic chemicals
(in chemosynthetic reaction carried out by some prokaryotes).

during an experiment to reveal possible effects on another factor (the
dependent variable).
13. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid): A nucleic acid molecule, usually a double-
stranded helix, in which each polynucleotide strand consists of nucleotide
monomers with a deoxyribose sugar and the nitrogenous bases adenine (A),
cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T); capable of being replicated and
determining the inherited structure of a cell's proteins.
14. Biosphere: The entire portion of Earth inhabited by life; the sum of all the

15. Bioinformatics: The use of computers, software, and mathematical models
to process and integrate biological information from large data sets.
