Bio 110 Question with Verified Correct
Answers
What two elements were essential to life to evolve
Nuleic acids and protein synthesis
What are prokaryotes and what are the two main groups
Single Cell Organisms
Bacteria and Archaea
What are eukaryotes
Are organisms with cells that have a nucleus
What is the difference between Aerobic and anaerobic metabolism
Aerobic metabolism uses oxygen to turn glucose into energy (is more efficient than
anaerobic)
Anaerobic metabolism happens without oxygen and produces a lot less energy (less effective
most organisms use aerobic)
What is cell specialization
Cell specialization is when cells become tailored to a certain job, they perform the same task
which allows multicellular organisms to get larger and efficient at gathering resources and
adapting to specific environments
At what point do we call it life?
When Cells form
What is the hierarchy of biological organization
,Atoms, Small molecules, Large molecules, Cells (unicellular-colonial organisms), Cell
specialization, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism(multicellular organisms)
Organisms to ecosystems
Population, Community, Ecosystem, Biosphere (biomes)
Who showed that inherited traits exist in discrete units which were later termed genes
Gregor Mendel
DNA consists of long sequences of ...
Nucleotides
Populations are...
Groups of individuals of the same species that interbreed
What is the Sum total of all the DNA molecules in an organism
Genome
Evolution is...
The results in change in the genetic makeup of populations over time
What is the major unifying principle of biology?
evolution
Who compiled factual evidence for evolution and proposed that all organisms are
descended from a common ansestor
Charles Darwin
What is artificial selection
, When humans use selective breeding of plants and animals to obtain desired traits
What is natural selection
The same as artificial selection, just naturally, and Darwin proposed this
Natural selection leads to...
Adaptations
What are adaptations
Structural, physiological, or behavioral traits that enhance an organism's chances of survival
and reproduction
What is it called when each species has a distinct scientific name and give an example
Binomial ex: Homo sapiens (humans)
What is a group of species that share a recent common ancestor
Genus
A ... illustrates the evolutionary histories of different groups
Phylogenetic tree
List the major characteristics shared among living things
Made of a common set of chemical compounds
Made up of cells
Use molecules from the environment to synthesize (combine) new molecules
Extract energy from the environment and use it to do work
Regulate their internal environments (homeostasis)
Contain genetic information that enables them to develop, function, and reproduce
