Answer 1

In question 1, definitions of philosophy of science, taxonomy, and cell are provided. Additionally, the differentiation between the static and dynamic views of science is explained. In question 2, the terminologies of Benjamin Bloom's cognitive domain, affective domain, and psychomotor domain are described, along with the pyramid of cognitive domain. In question 3, an observation is mentioned, but further details are needed to provide a complete answer.

Question 1

a) Definitions

Philosophy of science: The branch of philosophy that explores the nature and methods of science, including its assumptions, principles, and ethics.

Taxonomy: The science of classification, organizing and categorizing organisms based on their characteristics.

Cell: The basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms.

b) Differentiation

The static view of science sees it as a set of established facts, while the dynamic view sees science as an ever-evolving field of knowledge that adapts and changes as new discoveries are made.

Question 2

a) Terminologies

Cognitive domain: Benjamin Bloom's classification of educational objectives related to knowledge and intellectual skills.

Affective domain: Bloom's classification of educational objectives related to attitudes, values, and emotions.

Psychomotor domain: Bloom's classification of educational objectives related to physical skills and coordination.

b) Pyramid of Cognitive Domain

The pyramid of Bloom's cognitive domain represents a hierarchy of thinking skills, starting from basic knowledge and progressing to higher-order thinking skills like evaluation and creation.

Question 3

An observation was made, but the specific details of the observation and the cell physiology involved are not provided. More information is needed to answer this question accurately.
