BIO 103 CERTIFICATION EVALUATION
PRACTICE SOLUTION TESTED QUESTIONS
WITH COMPLETE ANSWERS
●● Complex Ordered Structure
Answer: Cells carry out the functions necessary for life
●● Homeostasis
Answer: Regulation of internal environment essential to keep internal
organization
●● Growth
Answer: Development of an organism's characteristics as determined by
DNA
●● Metabolism
Answer: Transformation of energy to utilize (autotroph to heterotroph)
●● Response to Environmental Stimuli
Answer: Living organisms are able to respond to stimuli such as light,
moisture, or other organisms
,●● Reproduction
Answer: Like makes like
●● Adaptation
Answer: The ability to evolve over time in response to the enviornment
●● Taxonomy
Answer: The system used to name and classify organisms
●● Binomial Nomenclature
Answer: Uses Genus and Species
Examples: Sulfulobus acidocaldaris, Heliobacter pylori
●● Energy _______ through an ecosystem, whereas nutrients ________
through each level
Answer: flows, cycle
●● Metabolism vs Homeostasis
Answer: Metabolism: Chemical reactions in an organism
Homeostasis: The organism adjusting to environmental changes
, ●● Dependent Variable
Answer: The variable in an experiment which is not changed or
controlled, but is being tested or measured
●● Independent Variable
Answer: The variable in an experiment which is changed or controlled
●● Dehydration Synthesis
Answer: Joins monomers into polymers, by removing water
●● Hydrolysis
Answer: Breaks polymers into monomers, by adding water
●● pH
Answer: The amount of H+ (Hydrogen) in any given solution, used to
measure it's acidity from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral
H+ > OH- is an acid
H+ < OH- is a base
The potential of Hydrogen, a mathematical measurement of free-floating
hydrogen in a solution
