Biology 1010 Final Exam Questions and
Correct Answers
Question 1
What is the formula for photosynthesis?
Correct Answer
Light+ H2O= 02 makes some ATP to the calvin cycle where then enters CO2 with
ATP making a sugar molecule.
Question 2
Benefits of Fungi
Correct Answer
fungi are heterotrophs. they digest their food externally. They are decomposers,
used to make antibiotics, eaten as food, make bread, cheeses, mycorrhizae.
Question 3
What are the characteristics associated with invasive species?
Correct Answer
An invasive species is a non native species that has spread far beyond the original
pint of introduction and causes environmental or economic damage through
domination of areas.
Characteristics: Generalists (habitat and diet), Few pathogens, parasites or predators,
grows fast, reproduction rapidly, difficult to remove or control.
Question 4
Nitrogen cycle
Correct Answer
proteins and nucleic acids contain nitrogen. Bacteria through the process of
nitrogen fixation. air- nitrogen fixation- plants- other organisms- back in soil.

,Question 5
What is the formula for cellular respiration?
Correct Answer
Glucose+ oxygen=(help of enzymes) 6 carbon dioxide+ 6 H2O+ ATP (up to 32)
Question 6
Dispersion pattern
Correct Answer
The way individuals are spaced within the population's geographic range.
Question 7
What is gene expression?
Correct Answer
Every cell has the same genes. Each cell is different because it is specialized. genes
that are turned on and such.
Question 8
An organism gets carbon by using carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to make sugar
molecules. This organism is a
Correct Answer
Producer
Question 9
Which structure helps bacteria to attach within the tissues that they will infect?
Correct Answer
Capsule

,Question 10
Ovulation
Correct Answer
..., process in which an egg is released from the ovary
Question 11
What are the basic characteristics of primates?
Correct Answer
limber shoulder joints, eyes in front of face, hand eye coordination, extensive
parental care, nails.
Question 12
What name is given to the process by which detritivores return carbon to the
atmosphere?
Correct Answer
decomposition
Question 13
What are the threats to biodiversity?
Correct Answer
Habitat destruction and fragmentation, invasive species, over exploitation (taking
more than the population can sustain) and pollution.
Question 14
NPP
Correct Answer
net primary productivity: is the measurement of plant growth. vary across the globe.

, Question 15
How does the Greenhouse effect work?
Correct Answer
CO2 lets sunlight through but retains the heat it generates, adding CO2 to the air
increases the greenhouse effect, removal of CO2 by photosynthesis.
Question 16
How does bacteria reproduce?
Correct Answer
Binary fission. they form endospores which are thick coated protective cells that are
produced within the cells when they are exposed to unfavorable conditions. (they
can survive very harsh conditions for long time)
Question 17
What is meant by ecosystem services?
Correct Answer
Due to nutrient pollution (phosphorus and nitrogen in water) Healthy ecosystems:
purify water, air. Decompose wastes and recycle nutrients. Wetlands: buffer coastal
populations against hurricanes. reduce the impact of flooding rivers and filter
pollutants.
Question 18
Carbon cycle
Correct Answer
Photosynthesis(plants, algae, cyanobacteria), primary consumers, cellular
respiration, decomposers (animals/plants) burning fossil fuels. THIS HAPPENS VERY
QUICKLY
Question 19
Reverse transcriptase
Correct Answer
It catalyzes the formation of DNA from an RNA template.
