CAMPBELL BIOLOGY CERTIFICATION
EVALUATION 2026 TESTED QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
◉ DNA. Answer: Deoxyribonucleic acid: a long linear polymer found
in the nucleus of a cell and formed from nucleotides and shaped like
a double helix
◉ Emergent properties. Answer: New properties that arise with
each step upward in the hierarchy of life, owing to the arrangement
and interactions of parts as complexity increases.
◉ Eukaryotic Cell. Answer: A type of cell with a membrane-enclosed
nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles. Organisms with
eukaryotic cells (protists, plants, fungi, and animals) are called
eukaryotes.
◉ Prokaryotic Cell. Answer: A type of cell lacking a membrane-
enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles. Organisms
with prokaryotic cells (bacteria and archaea) are called prokaryotes.
◉ Biosphere. Answer: The entire portion of Earth inhabited by life;
the sum of all the planet's ecosystems.
, ◉ Ecosystems. Answer: All the organisms in a given area as well as
the abiotic factors with which they interact; one or more
communities and the physical environment around them
◉ Community. Answer: All the organisms that inhabit a particular
area; an assemblage of populations of different species living close
enough together for potential interaction.
◉ Population. Answer: A group of individuals of the same species
that live in the same area and interbreed, producing fertile offspring.
◉ Organism. Answer: a creature such as a plant, animal or a single-
celled life form, or something that has interdependent parts and that
is being compared to a living creature
◉ Organs. Answer: A specialized center of body function composed
of several different types of tissues.
◉ Organ Systems. Answer: A group of organs that work together in
performing vital body functions.
◉ Tissues. Answer: An integrated group of cells with a common
structure, function, or both. Ex. muscle or nervous
