ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Carl Linnaeus - CORRECT ANSWER - "Father of Taxonomy"; established his
classification of living things; famous for animal naming system of binomial nomenclature
Method of Science - CORRECT ANSWER - Theory that people accept some belief
because scientific studies have tended to replicate that result using a series of samples, settings,
and methods
Archaea - CORRECT ANSWER - One of two prokaryotic domains of life, the other being
Bacteria.
Archaea are found in harsh, volatile environments. High temps, toxicity, etc.
Kingdom Plantae - CORRECT ANSWER - Complex, multi-cellular organisms that use
photosynthesis to make food.
Kingdom Bacteria - CORRECT ANSWER - Kingdom of prokaryotic, single-celled
organisms that lack a membrane-enclosed nucleus and can be classified by shape.
Kingdom Animalia - CORRECT ANSWER - contain organisms that are multicellular
eukaryotes including vertebrates and invertebrates.
Archaebacteria - CORRECT ANSWER - considered ancient life forms that evolved
separately from bacteria and blue-green algae
heirarchy - CORRECT ANSWER - biosphere
ecosystem
community
,population
organism
organ systems
organs
tissues

Waters life supporting properties - CORRECT ANSWER - Water molecules stick together.
Water has a strong resistance to change in temperature.
Frozen water floats, expands when it freezes
Water is a common solvent for life.
Carbon - CORRECT ANSWER - Is an organic molecule, very versatile, can form many
bonds. Can make up to four bonds.
Macromolecules - CORRECT ANSWER - A very large organic molecule composed of
many smaller molecules
Carbohydrates-sugars
Proteins-Amino Acids
Nucleic Acids- Nucleotides
Lipids- fats, phospholipids, cholesterol.
, Proteins - CORRECT ANSWER - Made of monomers of amino acids
-Proteins perform most of the tasks the body needs to function.
-Most elaborate of life's molecules.
Amino acids are universal, and them come together to combine and create proteins. Their
sequence determines the type of protein.
Enzymes - CORRECT ANSWER - Catalysts for chemical reactions in living things, they
lower the activation activity required to do work.
Nuceleic Acids - CORRECT ANSWER - DNA and RNA
-nucleic polymers of nucleotides
1) DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid.
1) RNA, Ribonucleic acid
All cells contain: - CORRECT ANSWER - DNA (blueprint)
Cytoplasm (liquid in cells, cushions, suspends)
Ribosomes (read RNA, and build proteins)
Plasma Membranes
Eukaryotic cells - CORRECT ANSWER - Possess a membrane-bound nucleus
Polar covalent bond - CORRECT ANSWER - 1 oxygen, one hydrogen = polar covalent
bond
dehydration synthesis - CORRECT ANSWER - A chemical reaction in which two
molecules covalently bond to each other with the removal of a water molecule.
Making polymers formed by dehydration synthesis.
