BIL 150 Exam 1 || WITH COMPLETE ANSWERS.
biology correct answers the study of life
hypothetico-deductive method correct answers good science. idealized version of science
symbiosis correct answers a relationship when individuals of two or more species live in
direct and intimate contact with one another. this relationship can change based on conditions
and circumstances
mutualism correct answers type of symbiosis (+,+)
commensalism correct answers type of symbiosis (+,0) (0=no effect)
parasitism correct answers type of symbiosis (+,-)
hypothesis correct answers causal explanation for an event and used for further observations
and experiments
theory correct answers explanation that is broad scope and supported by a large group of
evidence
law correct answers generalization that scientists have observed for a long time and never
deviated
(only example in biology is mendals law of independent assortment)
bad science example correct answers measles, mumps, rubella vaccine is linked to autism
WHY
-no control group
-small sample size
-$ from anti-vaccine organizations
ugly science example correct answers Nazi Germany
Characteristics of Living Systems correct answers 1. order
2. reproduction
3. response to environment
4. evolutionary adaption
5. energy utilization
6. homeostasis (internal regulation)
7. growth and development
levels of biological organization correct answers molecule/organelle/cell/tissue/organ/organ
system/organism/population/community/ecosystem/biosphere
what level of biological organization do we know most about correct answers the lower levels
, molecule correct answers a particle composed of one or more atoms held together by a
chemical bond. smallest particle of a compound that displays all the properties of that
compound
cell correct answers the basic unit of life, consisting of outer cell membrane surrounding
cytoplasma and genetic material
tissue correct answers a group of usually small cells that together carry out a specific function
organ correct answers a structure of an organism (e.g, intestines), usually composed of
several tissue types-organized into a functional unit
organ-system correct answers two or more organs working together in execution of a bodily
function (the digestive track)
population correct answers a group of individuals of the same species, found in the same time
and place, and actually or potentially interbreeding
community correct answers two or more populations of different species living and
interacting in the same area
ecosystem correct answers 1. all the organisms and their non-living environment within a
defined area
2. one or two communities living together with their non-living surroundings
biosphere correct answers the part of the earth inhabited by living organisms includes both
living and non-living components
inductive reasoning correct answers specific to general
deductive reasoning correct answers general to specific
emergent properties correct answers the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. property
that a collection or complex system has BUT the individual members DO NOT have.
systems biology correct answers an approach to studying biology that aims to model the
dynamic behavior of whole biology systems
bioinformatics correct answers using computing power software and mathematical models to
process and integrate biological information from large data sets
homeostasis correct answers steady state of a physical condition of the body
cell theory correct answers 1. cells compromise all living things
2. cells are the structural and functional unit of all living organisms
3. cells arise from only existing cells (cells divide)
6 big ideas correct answers 1. structure and function are related at each level of biological
organization
2. cells are the basic unit of life
