  8. The Study of Life Key terms • applied scienceThe discipline dealing with the art or science of applying scientific knowledge to practical problems. • basic scienceresearch done solely to expand the knowledge base • BiologyA natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms. • chemotaxisthe movement of a cell or an organism in response to a chemical stimulant • control groupa group that contains every feature of the experimental group except it is not given the manipulation that is hypothesized • DNAa biopolymer of deoxyribonucleic acids (a type of nucleic acid) that has four different chemical groups, called bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine • extremophilean organism that lives under extreme conditions of temperature, salinity, etc; commercially important as a source of enzymes that operate under similar conditions • forensicRelating to the use of science and technology in the investigation and establishment of facts or evidence in a court of law. • genea unit of heredity; the functional units of chromosomes that determine specific characteristics by coding for specific proteins • genetic engineeringthe deliberate modification of the genetic structure of an organism • hypothesisa tentative conjecture explaining an observation, phenomenon, or scientific problem that can be tested by further observation, investigation, and/or experimentation • hypothesisan educated guess that usually is found in an "if...then..." format Free to share, print, make copies and changes.

  9. The Study of Life • macromoleculea very large molecule, especially used in reference to large biological polymers (e.g. nucleic acids and proteins) • moleculeThe smallest particle of a specific compound that retains the chemical properties of that compound; two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. • peer reviewThe scholarly process whereby manuscripts intended to be published in an academic journal are reviewed by independent researchers to evaluate the contribution, importance, and accuracy of the manuscript's contents. • phototaxisThe movement of an organism either towards or away from a source of light • phylogenythe evolutionary history of an organism • polymerizationThe chemical process, normally with the aid of a catalyst, to form a polymer by bonding together multiple identical units (monomers). • pseudoscienceAny belief purported to be scientific or supported by science that is not a product of scientific investigation. • scienceA process for learning about the natural world that tests ideas using evidence gathered from nature. • scientific methoda way of discovering knowledge based on making falsifiable predictions (hypotheses), testing them, and developing theories based on collected data • theorya well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world based on knowledge that has been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experimentation Free to share, print, make copies and changes.
