Minchella Bio 121 Exam 1 UPDATED
ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Biological Diversity - CORRECT ANSWER - 1) Greed, self interest (reserving resources
for us)
2) Free market environmentalism (cost of something should include the environmental cost)
3) Moral/Ethical approach (humans have no right)
Classifying Life - CORRECT ANSWER - 1) Taxonomy (naming/classifying)
2) Systemics (Evolutionary/genetic relationships)
3) Tree of life- Predictive
Phylogeny - CORRECT ANSWER - Evolutionary history of a group
- Proteins/nucleic acids (sim/diff. in amino acids is the tape measurer of life)
5 Kingdoms - CORRECT ANSWER - 1) Monera- all bacteria
2) Protista- Eukaryotes (Fall back if something doesnt fit into another group)
3) Plantae- Photosynthesize, Cellulose walls
4) Fungi- Decomposers, Cell walls made of chitin
5) Animalia- ingest particle food, no cell walls
Eukaryotes vs. Prokaryotes - CORRECT ANSWER - Eukar.
1) sexual or asexual reproduction
2) Have membrane bound organelles and a nucleus
3) Do not have a circular chromosome (plasmid)
Pro.
, 1) Asexual Reproduction
2) No membrane bound organelles only a few have nucleuses
3) Have a plasmid
6 Kingdoms - CORRECT ANSWER - Monera was split in 2:
1) Archaebacteria- Extreme Environments
2) Eubacteria
Domains - CORRECT ANSWER - 1) Bacteria
2) Archaea
3) Eukarya
Requirements for life - CORRECT ANSWER - 1) Metabolism- all chemical reactions in
the body
2) Reproduction- continuation
3) Genetics- Pass info from one generation to next
4) Evolution- ability to adapt
5) Growth and development- populations
6) Adaptation- respond to the environment
Solutions to Problems - CORRECT ANSWER - Common:
1) DNA Replication
2) Major Metabolic Pathways
3) Genetic Code (DNA encodes polypeptides)
Different:
1) Bact. and Fungi form spores
2) Plants go dormant
3) Animals (hibernate/migrate)
