B) its hypotheses are testable. C) its conclusions are final. D) it is not falsifiable. E) it seeks to define the vitalistic forces of life. Answer: B Section: 01.01 Topic: Principles of Science Learning Objective: 01.01 Explain that science consists in testing, possibly rejecting, and improving our simplest and be...

IB Biology - Scientists of IB Bio 100% Correct Robert Hooke First person to observe cells and write the cell theory Ernst Ruska Developed the electron microscope in 1930s and won the Nobel Prize for it Friedrich Wohler Urea synthesis which falsified the theory of vitalism Davson-Danielli Proposed the 'protein sandwich' model for membrane structure Louis Pasteur Experiment with broth that confirmed that spontaneous generation of cells and organisms does not occur on Earth ...

Anaximander (610-546 BC) - Speculated that: --early animals rose from the ocean --humans came from the mouths of giant fish --and, complexity rose from simple life Aristotle (385-322 BC) - --advocated the importance of "observation" --wrote "History of Animals" - describing and classifying animals --wrote "Scala Naturae" - organizing living things along scales of "perfection" Biological Evolution - change in populations over time Comte de Buffon - -In 1779, made a new estimate of...

Defining plants (vs. Prokaryotes) - Have different tissue Chlorophyll A and B ALL are multicellular Sexual reproduction is dominant (egg and sperm fusing) Embryophytes Sister taxon of charophytes Phloem - Distribute products of photosynthesis from leaves to roots. Spore - A single, haploid reproductive cell that can develop into a new organism (gametophyte) without fusing with another cell. Contain sporopollenin - make them resistant to harsh environments What are 4 other derived charac...

Gene - Linear sequence of nucleotides, coding instruction for transcription of RNA, and translation to a protein Anaximander (610-546 BC) - Speculated: Early animals rose from the ocean, humans came from the mouths of giant fish, and complexity rose from simple life. Aristotle (384-322 BC) - Advocated the importance of observation, wrote "History of Animals", also wrote "Scala Natural" Biological Evolution - Change in populations over time Biology - Study of Life Carolus Linnaeus () ...

WSU Biology 106 Final (Hellman&Carloye) Independent variable - ANS Value does not depend on another factor Dependent variable - ANS Value depends on another factor Controlled variable - ANS Kept the same throughout the experiment What are the two key tissues that allow plants to transport water or organic nutrients, respectively, over long distances? - ANS Xylem - water and minerals from roots to shoots Phloem - transports sugars from ...

IGCSE Biology Exam - Paper 6 Revision Notes BIO Enzyme activity lab: 2H2O2 (l) → 2H2O (l) + O2 (g) This reaction can be catalysed by an enzyme (catalase) or by a non- biological catalyst (Manganese IV oxide) 1. Put 3cm2 of hydrogen peroxide in a test tube. 2. Add fresh potato strips and shake gently. 3. Keep your thumb on top of the test tube, or use a stopper, to retain the gas. 4. Do the “glowing splint” test → the splint relights Positive control: repeat the original experime...
