Principles of Biomedical Science Unit 1
Vocabulary Exam Questions with Latest
Update
Biomedical Science - ANSWER-The application of the principles of the natural sciences,
especially biology and physiology, to clinical medicine
Control Group - ANSWER-The group in an experiment where the independent variable
being tested is not applied so that it may serve as a standard for comparison against the
experimental group where the independent variable is applied
Dependent Variable - ANSWER-The measurable effect, outcome, or response in which
the research is interested
Experiment - ANSWER-A research study conducted to determine the effect that one
variable has upon another variable
Forensic Science - ANSWER-The application of scientific knowledge to questions of
civil and criminal law
Hypothesis - ANSWER-Clear prediction of the anticipated results of an experiment
Independent Variable - ANSWER-The variable that is varied or manipulated by the
researcher
Negative Control - ANSWER-Control group where conditions produce a negative
outcome, help identify outside influences which may be present that were not accounted
for when the procedure was created
Personal Protective Equipment - ANSWER-Specialized clothing or equipment, worn by
an employee for protection against infectious materials (as defined by OSHA)
Positive Control - ANSWER-Group expected to have a positive result, allowing the
researcher to show that the experimental set up was capable of producing results
Adenine - ANSWER-A component of nucleic acids, energy-carrying molecules such as
ATP, and certain coenzymes. Chemically, it is a purine base
Chromosome - ANSWER-Any of the usually linear bodies in the cell nucleus that
contain the genetic material
Cytosine - ANSWER-A component of nucleic acids that carries hereditary information in
DNA and RNA in cells. Chemically, it is a pyrimidine base
