Qualitative vs. Quantitative data
Qualitative is more describing something the way it looks, smells, feels, etc. without specific numbers.
Quantitative is more specific and gives you the very specific stuff like the exact perimeter.
Quantitative is more specific and gives you the very specific stuff like the exact perimeter.
Biotic vs. Abiotic factors
Biotic factors are all of the living things in the environment. (trees, zebras, etc.)
Abiotic factors are all of the non-living things in the environment. (Temperature, sun, rocks, humidity, etc.)
Abiotic factors are all of the non-living things in the environment. (Temperature, sun, rocks, humidity, etc.)
Habitat vs. Niche
A habitat is a place a specific organism lives.
A niche is HOW that organism builds their home, eats food, hides from predators, etc.
A niche is HOW that organism builds their home, eats food, hides from predators, etc.
Autotroph/heterotroph/decomposers
An autotroph makes its own food, usually through the sun.
A heterotroph eats autotrophs to get its energy.
Decomposers break down any dead matter and replenish the soil with rich nutrients.
A heterotroph eats autotrophs to get its energy.
Decomposers break down any dead matter and replenish the soil with rich nutrients.
Food web/Food chain
A food web shows multiple food chains and multiple ways an organism can be eaten or eat.
A food chain shows one specific order that a number of organisms can feed off each other.
A food chain shows one specific order that a number of organisms can feed off each other.
Trophic levels
The position an organism is on in a food pyramid. (Autotroph, heterotroph 1, heterotroph 2)
Types of symbiosis
Commensalism - One organism benefits while the other organism is unharmed.
Mutualism - Both organisms benefit.
Parasitism - One organism benefits at the others expense.
Mutualism - Both organisms benefit.
Parasitism - One organism benefits at the others expense.
Primary succession vs. Secondary succession
Primary succession is usually a slow steady increase.
Secondary succession usually doesn't change unless there is a drop maybe caused by a disease.
Secondary succession usually doesn't change unless there is a drop maybe caused by a disease.
4 groups of substances needed for all life
Carbohydrates - sources of energy
Proteins - they are needed for pretty much everything including: structure,
Nucliec acids - hold genetic material
Lipids - stores energy

Lipids - stores energy
Organic vs. Inorganic compounds
Organic compounds have carbon in them.
In organic compounds do not have carbon in them.
In organic compounds do not have carbon in them.
Mixture vs. Solution
Mixture - each individual substance keeps their own physical properties.
Solution - 1 + substances (solvent) are distributed evenly throughout another substance (solvent)
Solution - 1 + substances (solvent) are distributed evenly throughout another substance (solvent)
Acids vs. Base
Acids - Lower numbered on the pH scale.
Bases - Highter numbered on the pH scale.
Bases - Highter numbered on the pH scale.
Diffusion
The random movement of particles from higher to lower concentration.
Three things that affect diffusion.
Concentration
Pressure
Temperature
Pressure

Cell Theory
Cells are the basic unit of life.
All living things are made of cells.
Cells come from pre-existing cells.
All living things are made of cells.
Cells come from pre-existing cells.
Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
Eukaryotes:
Have a nucleus
Are generally larger
Have membrane-bound organelles
Prokaryotes:
Do not have a true nucleus
Are usually a lot smaller in size
Do not have any membrane-bound organelles
Have a nucleus
Are generally larger
