Science as a Process
  1. Scientific Method
    1. control
      1. positive control
        1. makes sure test is sensitive enough to detect change
        2. negative control
          1. makes sure experiment is specific enough to detect only that change
            1. know it hypothetically shouldn't affect dependent variable
          2. controlled variables
            1. kept constant with ALL trials
              1. everything except independent variable
              2. hypothesis
                1. observations
                  1. inferences
                    1. rationale
              3. Biology as Science
                1. metabolism - sum of all reactions in body
                  1. catabolic - breaking
                    1. anabolic - making
                      1. both....
                        1. endergonic
                          1. ex. photosynthesis
                          2. exergonic
                            1. ex. cellular respiration
                        2. homeostasis
                          1. organism's ability to readjust to conditions which is necessary to live
                            1. ex. glucose levels in blood
                              1. ex. pH of gastric juice
                            2. structure/function relationships
                              1. surface area
                                1. important to cell life
                                  1. diffusion
                                  2. organism's life
                                    1. ex. lumen
                                      1. ex. neurons
