    Study Notes

    Life Science Midterm Study Guide - Unit 1

    • Scientific Rules: Scientific laws describe patterns in nature
    • Scientific Theories: Scientific theories explain observations of events based on knowledge from observations and investigations
    • Hypothesis: A testable prediction or statement
    • Control Group: Used in controlled experiments to observe the independent variable, where the independent variable does not change
    • Experimental Group: This is the part of a controlled experiment that is measured and changed to observe results

    Life Science Midterm Study Guide - Unit 2

    • Compound Light Microscope Magnification: To find the total magnification of a compound light microscope, multiply the ocular lens magnification by the objective lens magnification
    • Cell Discovery: Robert Hooke was the first person credited with discovering cells
    • Cell Theory: All living things are made up of one or more cells
    • Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells: Eukaryotic cells have their genetic material surrounded by a membrane, while prokaryotic cells do not
    • Animal Cells: Animal cells do not have cell walls
