Study Notes
Scientific Inquiry
- Observation is essential for forming a hypothesis in scientific inquiry
- A hypothesis is a testable prediction that guides further investigation
Characteristics of Living Organisms
- One characteristic feature of living organisms is the ability to maintain homeostasis
- Homeostasis is the regulation of internal environment despite external changes
Ecosystems
- Producers, such as plants and algae, primarily perform the function of photosynthesis in ecosystems
- Photosynthesis involves the conversion of light energy into chemical energy
Scientific Experiments
- A primary component of a scientific experiment is a controlled variable
- A controlled variable is a factor that is kept constant to ensure accurate results
Energy Transfer
- Energy transfer primarily involves the transfer of energy through food chains in ecosystems
- Energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next through consumption of organisms
