1.3.2 Communicating in biology (T/F)

Tables in biology are used to present data in an organised and systematic way.

In a line graph, the X-axis represents the dependent variable.

Bar charts are useful for comparing data across different categories.

Histograms are used to display continuous data with gaps between the bars.

Biological drawings should be shaded to enhance the visual representation of structures.

Plan drawings focus on the broad outline and tissue types without individual cells.

Detailed drawings in biology show cellular structures under high magnification.

The sagittal plane divides the body into front and back portions.

The transverse plane divides the body into upper and lower portions.

In anatomical terms, \’lateral\’ means toward the midline of the body.

The term \’proximal\’ refers to being closer to the point of attachment or origin.

Cross sections are made by making transverse cuts across a structure.

Line graphs are particularly useful for displaying changes over time.

Biological drawings must indicate the magnification used.

The Y-axis in a histogram represents the continuous intervals of data.

Bar charts can be used to show the distribution of student heights in a class.

Anatomical terms are used to describe the relative positions and orientations of body parts.

The frontal plane divides the body into superior and inferior portions.

A plan drawing is typically made by observing through a microscope using high power magnification.

The manipulated variable in a table is usually listed in the first column.
