Chapter 1 Biology and the Tree of Life
The pattern component of the cell theory claims that all organisms consist of cells.
A) true
B) false Answer: A Reference:
Section 1.1 Bloom's Level:
Remembering
LOs: Chp1-2. Describe the two components of the cell theory.
How does a scientific theory differ from a scientific hypothesis?
There is no difference—the terms are interchangeable.
A theory is an explanation for a very general phenomenon or observation; hypotheses treat
more specific observations.
A hypothesis is an explanation for a very general phenomenon; theories treat more specific
issues.
Theories define scientific laws; hypotheses are used to set up experiments.
Answer: B
Reference: Section 1.1
Bloom's Level: Comprehension
LOs: Chp1-2. Describe the two components of the cell theory.
Algae in the genus Caulerpa typically grow to a length of over half a meter and have structures
similar to stems, leaves, and roots. Reproduction occurs when adults produce sperm and eggs that
fuse to form offspring. Each adult Caulerpa, however, consists of just a single cell. Which of the
following statements is true?
A) Caulerpa violate the pattern component of the cell theory—that all organisms consist of cells. B)
Caulerpa violate the process component of the cell theory—that all cells come from preexisting
cells.
C) Caulerpa violate both the pattern and process components of the cell theory.
D) The existence of Caulerpa is consistent with the cell theory.
Answer: D

Which statement about spontaneous generation is FALSE?
Pasteur demonstrated that it does not occur under normal laboratory conditions.
It apparently occurred at least once–when life on Earth began.
It occurs every time a new species evolves from a preexisting species.
, It addresses the formation of living cells from previously nonliving material.
