Living organisms are assigned to groups based upon their similarities.

Systematics is the discipline of

indentifying and classifying organisms.

Domains are the largest classification

category.

Domains are the largest classification

category. Biologists assign organisms to one of three domains based on biochemical and genetic evidence.

Archaea are singlecelled organisms that lack a membrane-bound nucleus. Archaea can be found in environments that are too hostile for other life forms.

Bacteria are singlecelled organisms that lack a membrane-bound nucleus. Bacteria are found almost everywhere on the planet Earth.

The cells of all eukaryotes have a membranebound nucleus. Members of the Domain Eukarya are further categorized into one of four Kingdoms.

The process of science uses the scientific method.

A scientific theory is a concept supported by a broad range of observations, experiments, and conclusions.

Variables

The experimental variable (independent variable) is manipulated by the investigator. All other factors remain identical.

Variables

The experimental variable (independent variable) is manipulated by the investigator. All other factors remain identical.
The response variable (dependent variable) represents the result of the manipulation of the experimental variable.

HYPOTHESIS: A pigeon pea/winter wheat rotation will cause winter wheat production to increase as well as or better than the use of nitrogen fertilizer.

HYPOTHESIS: A sustained pigeon pea/winter wheat rotation will eventually cause an increase in winter wheat production.

PREDICTION: Wheat biomass following two years of pigeon pea/winter wheat rotation will surpass wheat biomass following nitrogen fertilizer treatment.

Conclusion: The hypothesis was supported. At the end of two years, the yield of winter wheat following a pigeon pea/winter wheat rotation was better than for the other type pots.
