24
Q

Droppers also called

A

pipettes (some have bobes, other pumps)

25
Scalpel
Sharp instrument used for dissection
26
Objective lenses
optical elements closest to the specimen.
27
nosepiece
part of the microscope that holds the objective lenses (revolves)
28
body tube
tube look into with lens
29
Diaphragm
rotating disk under the stage to vary light project upwards
30
Example Hypo:
A change in temp will increase rate of reaction
31
Prediction ex:
If I increase the temp, the reaction will happen faster
32
Rerun
``` Recall Explain Results Uncertainties New things ```
33
Molecules of life example
lipids, DNA proteins
34
Are the brain and hear organs?
Yes
35
Tissue types:
muscle, epithelial, connective and nervous
36

49
Ways to combat Sampling Error?
``` Larger sample sizes Probability calculations (if 5% or less of being skewed, is SS) ```
50
Combat Bias?
Quanititative Scientists not know which groupsp is which Scientists check each other1
51
Rules of scientists (2)
work concerns only natural world | must be testable by others
52
What is most objective way to describe natural world?
Scientific theory
53
Examples of scientific theories
``` Atomic theory (all have atoms) Global warming (humans causing temp increase) ```
