Disaccharides
Two sugars joined together.
Control group
A secondary experiment that is identical to the first, bar the single experimental variable being tested.
Cellular respiration
The process of releasing energy from food molecules using oxygen.
Natural selection
Individuals with features most suited to their environment survive and pass those features down to their offspring.
Hypothesis
A potential justification /explanation for things that are observed.
Peptide bonds
The chemical links between amino acids in proteins.
Speculations
Suggestions on what may be occurring based on results.
Phylogeny
The study of evolutionary relationships between organisms.
Biology
The study of living organisms.

The amount of heat needed to change the temperature of an amount of matter by 1°C.
Carbon dioxide
________ is converted into energy by plants in photosynthesis, and returned to the environment through organic material decay and as a result of cellular respiration.
Nitrogen fixation
________ process of converting atmospheric nitrogen into compounds that plants can be used.
Monosaccharides
Subunits of carbohydrates; simple sugars.
Carbohydrates
Compounds made out of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Biology
The study of living organisms
Theory
If the hypothesis has been proven as correct under all the conditions that it has been tested in, it becomes this (AKA principle)
Independent variable
The variable that is being tested
Dependent variable
The variable that is being measured when the independent variable changes
Controlled variable
The variables that are kept constant between experiments

A secondary experiment that is identical to the first, bar the single experimental variable being tested
Speculations
Suggestions on what may be occurring based on results
Conclusion
Statement based on the observations and measurements
Biological principles
Theories that are supported by immense amounts of evidence, that make it unlikely for it to be disproved in the future
