BIO-110 CHAPTER 1 QUIZ: THE SCIENCE OF BIOLOGY
1)Match the following terms to the correct description:
Data: Scientific results, Probability: Measure of chance, Theory: Time-tested hypothesis,
Hypothesis: Testable explanation, Prediction: If-then statement
2) What are four characteristics of living organisms?
1) Energy use 2) Response to stimuli 3) Development 4) Homeostasis
3) By sensing and responding to change, organisms keep conditions in the internal conditions
within ranges that cells can tolerate. This process is called: Homeostasis
4) The smallest unit of life is the: Cell
5) A butterfly is a producer. False
6) What are 4 kingdoms in which living organisms are classified?
1) Animalia 2) Protista 3) Fungi 4) Plantae
7) Fifteen randomly selected selected students are found to be taller than 6 feet. The
researchers concluded that the average height of a student is greater than 6 feet. This is
an example of a sampling error. True or False? True
8) What are tests designed to determine whether a prediction is valid? Experiments
9) Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya are three what? Domains
