9. crosscutting concepts unite the study of biology by comparing and contrasting patterns; cause and effect; scale, proportion,and quantity; systems and systemmodels; energy and matter; structure and function; and stability and change.

10. The highest level of organization for living things is the biosphere; it encompasses all other levels. The biological levels of organization of living things arranged from the simplest to most complex are: organelle, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystem, and biosphere.

11. The treatment group (also called the experimental group) receives the treatment whose effect the researcher is interested in.

The control group receives either no treatment, a standard treatment whose effect is already known, or a placebo (a fake treatment).

12. An atom is composed of three major subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. ... Electrons have a negative charge. The mass of a proton and neutron are approximately the same. Electrons have a significantly smaller mass compared to protons and neutrons (the mass of an electron is 1/1840 of a proton's mass).

13. Because each isotope of the element HAS THE SAME NUMBER OF ELECTRONS.

To a first approximation, the chemistry of an element depends on the exchange and sharing of electrons between atoms to make and break strong chemical bonds.

While isotopes has different numbers of neutrons, massive, neutrally charged, nuclear particles, they have the same number of protons, massive, positively charged, nuclear particles. And the neutral atom has therefore the SAME number of electrons, as the isotopes of a given element. And if there is the same number of electrons, the chemistry of that element is essentially the same.

Is this clear?

Just to add that the substitution of

1H by 2H

can introduce some change in the rate of chemical reaction. Look up the

kinetic isotope effect...

earthquakes in florida are rare because the state is not located near any tectonic plates. in fact, florida is tied for first place as having the fewest earthquakes of any state. much of florida is limestone and seafloor materials that is not conducive to earthquakes.
