Biology 104 Exam 1-Questions with Correct Answers/ Verified/
Latest Update (2024/2025)
Cells - ✔✔Fundamental unit of life is the cell - all living things are made up of cells
Tissues - ✔✔Similarly specialized cells that perform a common function
Organs - ✔✔Similarly specialized tissues that perform a common function
Levels of Biological Organization I - ✔✔1.) Cellular - nerve cell
2.) Organelle - mitochondria, chloroplast, nucleus
3.) Molecular - water, glucose, DNA
4.) Atomic - hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen
5,) Subatomic - protons, neutrons, electrons
Levels of Biological Organization II - ✔✔1.) Organismal - animal
2.) Organ System - nervous system
3.) Organ - brain
4.) Tissue - nervous tissue
Levels of Biological Organization III - ✔✔1.) Biosphere - earth's surface
2.) Ecosystem - all animals and grass etc.
3.) Community - animals, a group
4.) Population - a herd of pronghorns
Cellular Organization - ✔✔Fundamental unit of life is the cell - all living are made up of cells
Metabolism - ✔✔Living things take up energy rich materials and give out waste to
environment. Some energy fuels life processes some accumulates and is released after
death.
,Selective Response - ✔✔Living things respond selectively to stimulation in the environment
. Organisms recognize certain chemicals as nutrients while ignoring others.
Homeostasis - ✔✔Living systems have some capacity to change harmful conditions into
conditions more favorable to their continuing existence - the conversion of chemical
compounds.
Growth and Biosynthesis - ✔✔Living systems go through phases during which they make
more of their own material.
Genetic Material - ✔✔Living systems contain genetic material (DNA and RNA) to allow
inherited traits.
Production - ✔✔Living systems can reproduce & pass on genetic material.
Population Structure - ✔✔Organism form populations. Of these organism capable of sexual
processes, a population is all those organisms that can interbreed with one another.
Scientific Method - ✔✔1.) Observation
2.) Hypothesis
3.) Experiment/Observation
4.) Conclusion
5.) Theory
Paradigms - ✔✔It includes a strong belief in the truth of one or more theories and shared
opinions as to what problems are important and unimportant. What techniques and
research methods are useful.
Paradigm Shift - ✔✔Better technologies and scientific instruments lead scientists to look
and old data in a different way. Younger scientists look at old data in a new way.
, In this way ideas and definitions of theories alter over time an new data is collected and
explained.
Old Paradigm - ✔✔Folk ideas, bad humors, bad air or water, evil spirits. Competing
paradigms include: Darwinism, mutantionism, population
New Paradigm - ✔✔Darwinism, Classical Mendelian genetics, Germ Theory of Disease,
Modern Evolutionary Theory
Antibiotics - ✔✔Penicillin, doxy, etc.
Vaccines - ✔✔Polio, measles, smallpox, etc.
Cell Biology - ✔✔Cancer research, etc.
Genetics - ✔✔Basis for disease, etc.
Physics - ✔✔Electricity, etc.
Engineering - ✔✔Roads, bridges, buildings, planes, trains, bikes, etc.
Fermentation - ✔✔Civilzation. Q, this is that egg thing. Brenna think of kimchi. Needed
fermentation for things like beer because they didn't have clean water. Beer saves lives.
Biological Warfare - ✔✔Anthrax letters, airborne poison, etc.
Nuclear Weapons - ✔✔Does North Korea really have them? Yes.
Genome - ✔✔Insurance issues, selecting your offspring
