Inquiry into Life - Chapter 1-3 Test
Questions and Answers.
Domain Archaea - Answer one of three domains of life containing prokaryotic cells. Archaea
are single celled organisms that lack a membrane-bound nucleus. The are found in
environments that are often too hostile for other life forms.
Domain Bacteria - Answer one of three domains of life; prokaryotic cells Bacteria are single
celled organisms that lack a membrane-bound nucleus. Bacteria are found almost anywhere on
the planet.
behavior - Answer observable, coordinated responses to environmental stimuli
biodiversity - Answer is the total number of species, the variability of their genes, and the
ecosystems in which they live.
domain - Answer Domains are the largest classification category. Biologists assign organisms
to one of 3 domains; the three domains are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya
energy - Answer capacity to do work and bring about change; occurs in a variety of forms
Domain Eukarya - Answer one of the three domains of life, only domain that HAS a
membrane bound nucleus. It consists of organisms in 4 kingdoms Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and
Animalia
kingdoms of Eukarya - Answer protists, fungi, plants, and animals.
metabolism - Answer all of the chemical changes that occur withing a cell
prediction - Answer belief made by scientists about the outcome of an experiment, that the
hypothesis will be supported by the observations and data
scientific theory - Answer concept supported by a broad range of observations, experiments,
and conclusions
Categories of Classification - Answer Domain-Most inclusive
Kingdom
Phylum
, Class
Order
Family
Genus-contains species that are most closely related through evolution
Species-Least inclusive
Scientific Names
Taxonomy is the assignment of a binomial - Answer two-part name for each species
1st word = genus to which the species belongs
2ndword = the species.
Organization of Biosphere - Answer population, community, ecosystem
A Controlled Study - Answer Experiments in a controlled study have 2 groups
Control Group and Experimental Group
7 characteristic of life - Answer Reproduce
Grow develop
Respond to stimulus
Homeostasis
Capacity to adapt to environment
matter - Answer anything that has mass and volume (takes up space)
elements - Answer a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances with
different properties by ordinary chemical means
atoms - Answer the smallest part of an element
protons - Answer positively charged particles in the nucleus
neutrons - Answer neutrally charged particles in the nucleus
electrons - Answer negatively charged particles in the electron shell
