POUL 1010E EXAM 1 CERTIFICATION
ASSESSMENT 2026 VERIFIED ANSWERS
GRADED A+
◉ Domain Bacteria.
Answer: Prokaryotic, single-celled organisms; have cell walls;
reproduce using binary fission; differ from archaea in environment
and materials in cell wall; includes cyanobacteria.
◉ Biology.
Answer: The scientific study of life and its processes.
◉ Biosphere.
Answer: "Largest ecosystem"; the Earth from atmosphere to core.
◉ Cell.
Answer: An organism's basic unit of structure and function; enclosed
by a membrane that regulates the passage of materials between its
insides and its surroundings; uses DNA as genetic information.
◉ Community.
Answer: A set of populations in a given area.
,◉ Consumer.
Answer: A heterotroph; an organism that obtains organic food
molecules by eating other organisms or substances derived from
them.
◉ Controlled Experiment.
Answer: An experiment in which an experimental group is
compared with a control group that varies only in the factor being
tested.
◉ Deductive Reasoning.
Answer: If...then logic; specific results are predicted from a general
premise; general to specific reasoning.
◉ DNA.
Answer: A nucleic acid molecule; central database of genetic
information; determines genes; translated to RNA which makes
proteins.
◉ Domain Eukarya.
Answer: All organisms made up of eukaryotic cells; includes the
Kingdoms Plantae, Animalia, Fungi, and protists.
, ◉ Emergent Properties.
Answer: Properties that become apparent as complexity is elevated.
◉ Eukaryotic Cell.
Answer: Has a "true nucleus," and organelles with membranes; is
much larger than the other type of cell.
◉ Gene.
Answer: A unit of inheritance; determines physical traits.
◉ Genome.
Answer: The entire genetic library of an organism.
◉ Hypothesis.
Answer: A testable explanation for a set of observations based on
the available data and guided by inductive reasoning; narrower in
scope than a theory.
◉ Inductive Reasoning.
Answer: A type of logic in which generalizations are based off a
number of specific observations; specific to general.
◉ Kingdom Animalia.
