Update ) with Verified Answers
100 % Correct [Grade A]
Biosphere - correct answer Broadest level encompassing planet earth and
atmosphere; all capable of sustaining living organisms.
Ecosystem - correct answer 1. Defined as a system of living and non-living things in
the region.
2. Grasslands, forests, desserts, tundra, savanna, aquatic-regions, rainforests, and
coral reefs including the plants, organisms, soils, and climate conditions associated
are all examples of ecosystems.
Communities - correct answer 1. All collective organisms living within a biological
ecosystem.
2. Communities include all living organisms such as plants, fungi, grasses, animals,
and even microscopic organisms such as bacteria and protists.
,Populations - correct answer 1. Defined as a group of one particular species living
within defined boundaries of a community.
2. Several different types of populations make up a community.
Organisms - correct answer 1. The individual living members of a population.
2. The structural hierarchy of biological organization continues with each individual
organism.
3. Organisms are composed of organ systems.
Organ System - correct answer 1. a group of organs classified as a unit because of
shared functions.
2. Ex. urinary system is responsible for removing wastes from the blood, producing
and eliminating urine.
Organs - correct answer 1. A structure composed of two or more tissue types, that
performs a common function.
2. Ex. the brain, kidneys, and heart are all individual organs within an organism, and
are all part of different organ systems.
,Tissues - correct answer 1. A group of similar cells and the immediate environment
surrounding them.
2. The unique cell type and the extracellular environment determine the function of the
tissue type.
3. Tissues are composed of cells.
Cells - correct answer Living structures with organelles ("little organs") that function
on a microscopic level to keep the individual alive.
Atoms & Molecules - correct answer The chemical level, the smallest level of
biological organization. Atoms and Molecules are connected by chemical bonds and
interactions.
What are the three domains? - correct answer Eubacteria, Archaea, Eukarya
What cell type defines each domain? - correct answer Eubacteria and Archaea =
Prokaryotic cells
, Eukarya = Eukaryotic cells

Archaea
What are the four major kingdoms of Eukarya? - correct answer Fungi
Protista
Plantae
Animalia
Complete the characteristics of life for Fungi - correct answer 1. Environmental
adaptation: exoenzymes or antibiotic reproduction/secretion
2. Growth: spore ---> adult
3. Produce new offspring: asexual (budding, fragmentation, spore formation)
4. Biochemical process of obtaining energy: Heterotrophic
