ACTUAL EXAM COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS
(VERIFIED ANSWERS)
List features that distinguish living organisms from nonliving matter. - ANSWER-1.
Cellular basis - All living things consist of one or more cells
2. Requirement for energy and nutrients - Life is sustained
by ongoing inputs of energy and nutrients
3. Homeostasis - Living things sense
and respond to change
4. DNA is hereditary material - Genetic information in
the form of DNA is passed to offspring
Describe the levels of organization in the living world. - ANSWER-Atoms → cells → tissues →
organs → organ systems → organism → population → community
,→ ecosystem →
the biosphere
List the three domains of life and distinguish between each domain. -
ANSWER-Prokaryotes are bacteria and archaea.
Domain Bacteria:
unicellular no nucleus
Domain Archaea: unicellular no
nucleus but closer to eukarya
Domain Eukarya:
have nucleus
List four kingdoms within the domain Eukarya and distinguish between them. - ANSWER-1.
Fungi can be single or multicellular but digest food outside their
body.
2. Plants are multicellular and
are photosynthetic.
3. Animals are multicellular and eat other
organisms for nutrients.
,4. Protists are the unicellular organisms that have a
nucleus but do not fit any other category.
List and describe the steps involved in solving a problem using
hypothesis-based science - ANSWER-observation
hypothesis
experimental
conclusion
Describe the concept "an organism is more than the sum of its parts." - ANSWER-organism is
part of a more complex organization. These emergent properties
go
beyond
itself.
By definition, distinguish between a population, a community, and an ecosystem. -
ANSWER-1. Population: multiple organisms in a single spot
2. community: is made up of
populations of different organisms
, 3. ecosystem: is the interactions between the community and
the non-living environment that surrounds it
Distinguish between a producer, a consumer and a decomposer. - ANSWER-
producer:photosynthetic organisms that trap light and convert that light energy into
chemical bond energy. such as some
bacteria, protists, and all plants
consumer: organisms that feed
on already-stored food
decomposer: bacteria and fungi recycle the dead
molecules throughout the bioshpere.
Distinguish between a hypothesis and a prediction. - ANSWER-
hypothesis: testable explanation of a natural phenomenon.
prediction: statement based on hypothesis about a condition
that should exit if the hypothesis is correct.
What is meant by the phrase potentially falsifiable hypothesis? - ANSWER-a hypothesis can be
proven that is false
