Definitions of the words:
1. Hypothesis: A proposed explanation or prediction for a phenomenon based on preliminary evidence or knowledge.
2. Observation: The act of perceiving or noticing something using one's senses.
3. Prokaryotic: Referring to organisms that lack a distinct nucleus and membrane-bound organelles in their cells, such as bacteria.
4. Independent variable: The variable that is deliberately changed or manipulated in an experiment to observe its effect on the dependent variable.
5. Inference: A logical conclusion or interpretation based on evidence or reasoning.
6. Eukaryotic: Referring to organisms whose cells contain a distinct nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, such as plants, animals, fungi, and protists.
7. Dependent variable: The variable that is being observed or measured in an experiment and is expected to change as a result of the independent variable.
8. Scientific Theories: Well-substantiated explanations of some aspect of the natural world that are based on empirical evidence and have been repeatedly tested and confirmed.
9. Endosymbiotic Theory: A theory that proposes that some organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, were once independent prokaryotic organisms engulfed by larger cells and eventually became symbiotic partners.
10. Constant: A factor or variable that remains unchanged or consistent throughout an experiment to ensure that the effects of the independent variable on the dependent variable can be isolated.
11. Scientific Laws: Statements or principles that describe or predict a natural phenomenon and has been scientifically proven and universally accepted.
12. Homeostasis: The ability of an organism or system to maintain internal stability and balance in response to changing external conditions.
13. Control Group: The group in an experiment that does not receive the experimental treatment and serves as a baseline for comparison.
14. Quantitative: Relating to or involving the measurement of quantities or amount, typically using numbers.
15. Metabolism: The chemical processes that occur within a living organism to maintain life, such as the conversion of food into energy and the synthesis of biomolecules.
16. Experimental Group: The group in an experiment that receives the experimental treatment or manipulation being tested.
17. Qualitative: Relating to or involving qualities or characteristics rather than quantities, often involving subjective judgments or descriptions.
