Brooks Biodiversity Unit 1 Exam With 100% Correct Answers

Brooks Biodiversity Unit 1 Exam With 100% Correct Answers evolution - answerthe concept that all given organisms are related to each other though common ancestry Have scientists proven that life exists? - answerNo Big Bang - answerTheory of how the universe formed 16-18 billion years ago Symbiosis - answerthe interaction between two different organisms living in close association "life coming together" Spontaneous Generation - answerTheory that life arose spontaneously from inanimate matter. Not a widely held belief among scientists Biogenesis Hypothesis - answerTheory that living matter created by pre-existing living matter Haldane-Oparin Hypothesis - answer"Chemical Evolution" Life arose spontaneously from early atmospheric compounds. It was believed that the early atmosphere contained methane, ammonia, and water. When combined with energy sources, life arose. This is the original theory of how life arose, but is likely INCORRECT. Miller-Urey Experiment - answerTested the Haldane-Oparin Hypothesis by conducting an experiment that simulated the conditions thought at the time to be present on earth, and tested for the occurrence of chemical origins of life. They took inorganic compounds and made organic compounds (mostly amino acids). DID NOT PROVE ANYTHING Panspermia - answerHypothesis that organic molecules were brought to earth by meteorites/asteroids. Basically, life was seeded from outer space, and that life exists throughout the universe distributed by meteoroids, asteroids, comets, and planetoids. Modern Theory of How Life Arose - answer(STILL NOT PROVEN, ONLY LIKELY) life arose spontaneously from simple molecules (CO, CO2, N2,H2 (very little because it was in little abundance), and H2O), then combined into larger, complex macromolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. (NOT from methane, ammonia, and water as Haldane- Oparin hypothesized) Primordial Soup Hypothesis - answerHypothesized that the first organisms were heterotrophs because they consumed the abundant food molecules present in the atmosphere The Cell - answerthe basic form of an entity The Cell Theory - answerevery life form (from bacteria to humans) is made up of/comes from cells Steps of the development of cells - answer1. Spontaneous formation of simple molecules (Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) 2. Formation of lipid bilayer, polymers, and Protien-RNA systems. 3. Lipid Bilayer forms selectively permeable barrier that contains an enclosed self-replicating system. Closed system contains DNA, RNA, proteins, and enzymes. (VERY IMPORTANT!) 4. Abiotic (derived from non-living things) formation of protobiont (initial structures during the origin of life which can show at least one propery of life) using self-replicating molecules 5. Composition of anaerobic prokayotic cells, then followed by aerobic and photosynthetic prokaryotic cells 6. Single celled eukaryotic cells form and then evolve into multicellular organisms DNA vs RNA. Which came first? - answerScientists believe RNA was first genetic material because RNA can also form riboz
