The document summarizes key concepts in biology and chemistry. It defines three domains that species are grouped in: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. It also outlines the correct order of the scientific method as observe, ask questions, make hypotheses, make predictions, and conduct tests. Finally, it provides a definition of biology as the study of organisms, their characteristics, functions, and interactions.

scientific method? (Tests, Hypotheses,
Observe, Predictions, and Questions)
Observe, Questions, Hypotheses,
Predictions, Tests

The scientific study of organisms,
including their characteristics, functions,
and interactions.
3. Terms to Know
Atom = The smallest unit of a chemical element; made up of electrons, protons, and
neutrons (except in a hydrogen atom).
Molecule = A chemical substance made up of two or more atoms joined by covalent bonds
or ionic attractions.
Covalent Bond = A chemical bond based on the sharing of electrons between two atoms.
Water = H2O; H+ (hydrogen ion) helps make solutions more acidic while OH- (hydroxyl
group) helps make solutions more basic.
Monomer = [“Mono” means one, “mer(os)” means unit] A small molecule. Capable of
making oligomers or polymers.
Oligomer = [“Oligo” means few, “mer(os)” means unit] A polymer made up of few
monomers.
Polymer = [“Poly” means many, “mer(os)” means unit] A large molecule.
4. Hydrolysis
Hydro = Water
Lysis = Separation
A chemical decomposition in
which a compound (polymer)
is split into other compounds
(monomers) by reacting
with water.
One monomer receives a
hydrogen ion (H+) and the
other receives a hydroxyl
group (OH-).
Releases energy
5. Condensation
Con = Together
Dense = Compact
Ation = Act or Process
A type of reaction in which
two organic molecules
(monomers) covalently bond
to form a larger molecule
(polymer) as well as a simple
molecule (water).
