Questions and Answers (100% Pass)
What is biology?
✓ The scientific study of living organisms and their vital processes
What are the characteristics of life?
✓ Acquiring and burning energy (capacity to do work), Respond to
stimuli (slow or fast), Organized (cell structure), Reproduction (genetic
information passed on), Growth and Development (changing through
life), Homeostasis (ability to maintain internal conditions), Made of cells,
and Adaptation (change over time/ end product).
What are the taxonomic levels in order?
✓ Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
Remember by saying Daring King Phillip Came Over for Great Spaghetti.
What is important about the taxonomic level "Domain". What are the three
domains discussed? What belongs to each?

✓ It is the point of origin for all species. Domain Archaea- small unicellular
organisms living in extreme environments. Domain Bacteria- small
unicellular organisms who lack internal organelles. Domain Eukarya can
be unicellular or multicellular and have major organelles such as a
nucleus.
Which two domains contain prokaryotic organisms? What does "prokaryotic"
mean, and what characteristics do those organisms have? What is the
difference between the two domains of prokaryotic organisms?
✓ The domains Bacteria and Archaea contain prokaryotic organisms.
Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms and are much smaller than
eukaryotic cells, they have no nucleus and lack organelles. The DNA of
archaea has proteins while bacteria does not. They are both very
diverse, but Archaea are not pathogenic and many live in extreme
environments.
What does eukaryotic mean? What are the four eukaryotic kingdoms
discussed? What types of organisms belong to each?
✓ Organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane bound
organelles. The four kingdoms are Plantae-moss, flowering plants etc.
Animalia-humans and all other animals. Protista-Plants (fruits, algae
etc.) and Fungi- molds, mushrooms etc.

What is the difference between a virus and a bacterium?
✓ Bacterium are single cells that can survive on their own, inside or
outside the body. Viruses are not cells, and they cause infections by
entering and multiplying inside the host's healthy cells.
What is meant by the scientific method? What are the limitations?
✓ The scientific method is the process of objectively establishing facts
through tests and experiments. Limitations include constrained by the
extent of existing knowledge. A hypothesis must be testable and the
experiments and observations be repeatable.
What is the first step in any experiment?
✓ Define a question or hypothesis to investigate.
Hypothesis
✓ an idea that is proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be
tested to see if it is true. Ex- "I think the antibiotic will be 100% larger than
the control"
