Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections, 8th Edition
(Reece, 2014)
Chapters 1–38
CHAPTER 1: BIOLOGY: EXPLORING LIFE
Multiple Choice
1. Which of the following is NOT a property of life?
A) Evolutionary adaptation
B) Response to the environment
C) Energy processing
D) Maintaining a constant external temperature regardless of surroundings
E) Reproduction
Answer: D
Explanation: Living things regulate their internal environment (homeostasis), but they do not necessarily
maintain a constant external temperature. The other options are all recognized properties of life.
2. The smallest unit of life is the:
A) atom
B) molecule
C) cell
D) organ
E) organelle
Answer: C
Explanation: The cell is the lowest level of structure that can perform all activities required for life.
3. Which of the following represents the correct sequence of biological organization from simplest to
most complex?
A) cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism → population → community → ecosystem →
biosphere
B) cell → organ → tissue → organ system → organism → population → ecosystem → community →
