    1.

    Scientific Method is the approach that science uses to gain knowledge, based on making observations,
    testing theories or hypotheses by experimentation and formulating conceptual models and theories
    based on experiments.

    2.
    Hypothesis is a proposal made to explain an observation and/or a tentative explanation of some
    regularity of nature.

    Law a concise statement or mathematical equation about a fundamental relationship or regularity of


    nature.

    Theory is a tested explanation of basic natural phenomena.

    3.
    Qualitative data are observations or information characterized by measurement on a categorical scale,
    i.e., a dichotomous or nominal scale, or, if the categories are ordered, an ordinal scale.  Examples are
    sex, hair color, death or survival, and nationality. Qualitative data can enrich understanding of complex
    problems and help to explain why things happen.

    Quantitative  data are data in numerical quantities, such as continuous measurements or counts or
    binary variables.  Qualitative data  can be coded to create quantitative data.

    4.

    The term precision refers to the closeness of the set of values obtained from identical measurements of
    a quantity. Accuracy is a related term; it refers to the closeness of a single measurement to its true
    value.

    Gas chromatography and Paper chromatography

    5. Name the SI units that are important in clinical chemistry.

    The SI base units that are important in clinical chemistry are:

    Units Test Name (Chemistry Section)


    Units per Liter (U/L) SGPT/ALT, SGOT/AST, ALP, Total ACP, AMS, LDH
    Millimoles per Liter (mmol/L) Blood Urea Nitrogen, Sodium, Potassium,
    Chloride, Anion gap, Total CO2
    Micromoles per Liter (mol/L) Fructosamine
    Milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) RBS, FBS, GTT, Cholesterol, TAG, LDL, HDL,

    Grams per deciliter (g/dL) Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin, α1-globulin, α2-
    globulin, β-globulin, γ-globulin
    Milliliters per minute (mL/min) Creatinine clearance, Renal plasma flow (PAH),
    Renal blood flow (PSP)
    Milliosmoles per Kilogram Serum osmolality, Urine osmolality
    Ehrlich units per 2 hours (Ehrlich units per day) Urine urobilinogen
    Ehrlich units per 24 hours Stool urobilinogen
    Nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL) T3
    Nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) Prostatic ACP
    Units per milliliter (U/mL) LPS

    6. Give the SI units for expressing the following:

    a. Length – Meter
    b. Volume – Cubic meter
    c. Mass – Kilogram
    d. Time – Second
    e. Energy – Joule
    f. Temperature – Kelvin
    7. Write the numbers represented by the following prefixes:

    a. Mega – 1,000,000
    b. Kilo – 1,000
    c. Deci – 0.1
    d. centi – 0.01
    e. milli – 0.001
    f. micro – 0.000001
    g. nano – 0.000000001
    h. pico – 0.0000000000001

    8.
    Scientific notation is used to express very large or very small numbers conveniently. It allows easy
    comparison between numbers that would otherwise require counting zeroes.

    Scientific notation is the representation of a number in the form A×10n, where A is a number with a
    single nonzero digit to the left of the decimal point and n is an integer, or whole number. In scientific
    notation, the measurement 900 cm precise to two significant figures is written 9.0 102 cm. If precise to
    three significant figures,
    it is written 9.00 102 cm. Scientific notation is also convenient for expressing very
    large or very small quantities. It is much easier (and simplifies calculations) to write
    the speed of light as 3.00 108 (rather than as 300,000,000) meters per second.
    The decimal point allows us to write whole numbers and numbers with a fractional component using a
    consistent notation. It also makes operations on fractional value - addition, subtraction, multiplication
    and division - simpler. It works the same for fractional amounts and for whole numbers.

    9. Express the following in scientific notation:


    a. 0.000000027 – 2.7 × 10-8
    b. 356 – 3.56 × 102
    c. 47,764 – 4.7764 × 101
    d. 0.096 – 9.6 × 10-2

    10. Express the following numbers as decimals:


    a. 1.52 x 10-2 – 0.0152
    b. 7.78 x 10-8 – 0.0000000778
