Study Notes
Key Concepts for Exam I - ISB 204
-
Living Organisms:
- Be able to analyze, explain, interpret, and chart/graph experimental data.
- Know the characteristics of living organisms.
- Compare and contrast archaea, bacteria, and eukarya.
-
Scientific Method:
- Define hypothesis, experiment, conclusion, and theory.
- Design experiments with positive and negative controls, explaining their purpose.
-
Atoms & Elements:
- An atom is the smallest part of an element retaining its properties.
- The nucleus contains protons and neutrons.
- The number of electrons equals the number of protons.
- Atomic number = number of protons.
- Mass number = number of protons + neutrons.
- Isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
- The octet rule describes how atoms bond to achieve a stable outer electron shell (8 electrons).
- Ionic bonds form from the attraction of positive and negative charges.
- Covalent bonds form by sharing electrons.
