| Higher level than Kingdoms (at which level there is great debate on how many there are) agreed on by sceintists. They are Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya |
|
|
Term
| Domains Bacteria and Archaea |
|
Definition
| Both consist of prokaryotes. Originally considered to be the same we know Archaea is as closely related to Eukaryotes as they are to Bacteria |
|

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A type of logic used in discovery science. Derives generalizations based on a number of observations. Ex: All organisms are made of cells |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A tentative answer to a well asked question. An educated guess based on previous experience. Must be testable |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Logic flows from the general to the specific. If this...then that thinking. Hypothesis is correct if it follows |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| HOw to design an experiment to test the effect of one variable by cancelling out the efects of any other variables |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Much broader in scope than a hypothesis. General enough to "spin-off" many more specific hypothesis |
|
