Describe and explain the following picture

2. Designing an Experiment
Redi’s Experiment
In a controlled experiment, only one variable is tested at a time. Redi designed an experiment to determine what caused the sudden appearance of maggots. In his experiment, the manipulated variable was the presence or absence of the gauze covering. The results of this experiment helped disprove the hypothesis of spontaneous generation.

3. How did gas get in my Balloon
How did gas get in my Balloon? Hypothesis: The enzyme aminotransferase causes chemical reactions using hydrogen peroxide to go faster. Procedure: This lab begins by getting the enzyme aminotransferase from the liver and placing it into three test tubes. The first test tube we added liver, then placed hydrogen peroxide into a balloon. The balloon was placed on the test tube and the hydrogen peroxide was poured into the test tube. We measured how wide the balloon expanded. In the 4th test tube we added hydrogen peroxide and placed a balloon over the test tube, this was the control. Results: It was found that test tube #1 rose 2.5 mm and expanded 1mm. Test tube #2 rose Conclusion: The enzyme aminotransferase caused a chemical reactions using hydrogen peroxide that went faster than the other chemical reactions. When the acid, vinegar was added to the enzyme the chemical reaction went slower, the balloon did not get as big. In the fourth test tube, the control, the balloon did not change size. After completing the experiment we________ the hypotheis.

5. 1-3 Characteristics of Living Things
A. Living things share the following characteristics:
made up of units called cells
reproduce
based on a universal genetic code
grow and develop
obtain and use materials and energy
respond to their environment
maintain a stable internal environment
change over time

6. 1-3 Characteristics of Living Things
B. Living things maintain a stable internal environment.
This process is called homeostasis.
Although conditions outside an organism may change, conditions inside an organism tend to remain constant.

7. 1-3 Characteristics of Living Things
C. Big Biosphere
All forms of life on Earth are connected together into a biosphere, which literally means “living planet.”
The relationship between organisms and their environment depends on both the flow of energy and the cycling of matter.

What is the atomic mass for carbon?
Atomic number is the number of protons. 6
The number of protons and neutrons. 12

10. Branches of Biology E. Branches of Biology
There a many branches of biology. For example:
Zoologists study animals.
Botanists study plants.
Paleontologists study ancient life.
Entomologist study insects

11. 1-4 Tools and Procedures
F. The metric system is a decimal system of measurement whose units are based on multiples of 10.
Because the metric system is based on multiples of 10, it is easy to use.

G. Laboratory Techniques
Cell Cultures
The cell is able to reproduce so that a group of cells, called a cell culture, develops from the single original cell.
H. Cell Fractionation
Biologists often use a technique known as cell fractionation to separate the different cell parts.
Cells are broken into pieces in a special blender called a centrifuge
