biologist: Scientists involved in biological research.
cell: (in biology) the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism. They are usually too small to be seen with the naked eye and consist of a watery fluid surrounded by a membrane or wall. Depending on their size, animals are made up of thousands to trillions of cells. Most living organisms, such as yeast, molds, bacteria, and some algae, are made up of only one cell.
chemicals: A substance formed when two or more atoms combine (combine) in a certain ratio and structure. For example, water is a chemical produced when two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom. Its chemical formula is H2O. Chemical can also be used as an adjective to describe the properties of materials that result from various reactions between different compounds.
chemical reaction: A process that involves a rearrangement of the molecules or structure of a substance rather than a change in physical form (such as from a solid to a gas).
chemistry: The field of science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of matter and how they interact.
clone: An exact copy (or what appears to be an exact copy) of some physical object. (In biology) An organism that has exactly the same genes as another organism, such as identical twins. Cloning is also a term that refers to producing offspring that are genetically identical to some “parent” organism. (v.) To make an exact copy of any physical object.
colleague: A person who works with other people. colleagues and team members.
computational: an adjective referring to any process that relies on computer analysis.
data: Facts and/or statistics collected together for analysis. They are not necessarily organized in a way that gives them meaning. For digital information (the type stored by computers), these data are typically numbers stored in binary code and represented as strings of 0's and 1's.
decode: Translating a hidden or secret message into an understandable language.
development: (in biology) The growth of an organism from conception to adulthood. They often change in chemical nature, size, and sometimes even shape. (in economics and social sciences) The transformation of land from its natural state to another so that it can be used for housing, agriculture, or resource development. (In engineering) The growth or change of something from an idea to a prototype.
digital: (in computer science and engineering) something developed numerically on a computer or other electronic device based on the binary system (all numbers are represented using a series of only 0s and 1s). An adjective that indicates something.
dinosaur: A word meaning a scary lizard. These reptiles appeared about 243 million years ago. All are descendants of egg-laying reptiles known as archosaurs. Many large dinosaurs became extinct about 66 million years ago. However, some Sauriskians survived. They are the birds we see today.
DNA: (abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid) A long, double-stranded, helical molecule that is present in most living cells and carries genetic instructions. It tells cells which molecules to make.
enzyme: Molecules made by living things to promote chemical reactions.
extinct: an adjective describing a species that has no living members.
field: Her research field is biology. It is any real-world environment in which some kind of research is conducted.
genetic: It has to do with chromosomes, DNA, and the genes contained in DNA. The scientific field that deals with these biological instructions is known as genetics.
genome: the complete set of genes or genetic material within a cell or organism.
guanine: One of the four substances necessary for living things to produce DNA.
humidity: A measure of the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
information: A fact provided or a learned trend about something or someone, often as a result of the study of data.
insect: A type of arthropod that, as an adult, has six legs and three body parts: head, thorax, and abdomen. It is home to hundreds of thousands of insects, including bees, beetles, flies, and moths.
Jurassic: The middle Mesozoic era, which lasted from about 200 million years ago to 145.5 million years ago.
literally: An adjective that indicates the precision of the word it modifies.
moisture: A trace amount of water that exists in the air as vapor.
living thing: All living things, from elephants and plants to bacteria and other types of single-celled organisms.
particle: A trace amount of something.
plastic: Any of a series of materials that are susceptible to deformation or synthetic materials made from polymers.
polymer: A substance made from long chains of repeating groups of atoms.
resin: A sticky, sometimes aromatic substance often secreted by plants.
order: The exact order of related things within a series.
silica: Also called silicon dioxide, a mineral containing silicon and oxygen atoms.
seed: A group of similar organisms that can survive and produce offspring that can reproduce.
technology: The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry, or the devices, processes, and systems resulting from such efforts.
theory: An explanation of some aspect of the natural world based on extensive observations, tests, and theories. Theories in science are based on data.
tool: An object made or obtained by humans or other animals that they use to accomplish some purpose.
