Final exam Study guide (BIL 150 FJ)
This study guide has been prepared assuming that you read the chapters thoroughly before
focusing on the following topics. Test Priority – Application/analysis questions. Total
number of questions: 100, total points -100
Chap 1: Inductive and deductive reasoning, Darwin’s evolutionary theory, scientific
method
• Scientific method
o Observe
o Hypothesis
o Prediction
o Experiment designed
o Then conclude
o See whether results support hypothesis
• Control group
o Compare control with experimental, changing one variable at a time
• Theory
o Theory is being proved many times, much evidence
o Difficult to test
o General
• Hypothesis
o Testable
o Falsifiable
o Specific
• Inductive
o Specific to general
o Doesn’t work well because there are a lot of exceptions
• Deductive
o General to specific
o Much easier to use
• Darwins evolutionary theory
o Descent with modification
o Heritable traits important
o Reproductive success
o Natural selection
▪ Leads to adaptation
Chap 2: Cations and anions, Ionic, covalent, hydrogen bonds, electronegativity, chemical
equilibrium
• Trace elements, required in minute quantities
• Atoms made of protons and neutrons
• Cation is positive
• Anion is negative
