RIO BIO 156 (ACTUAL 2025/2026) EXAM 1 WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS
List four kingdoms within the domain Eukarya and distinguish
between them.
1. Fungi can be single or multicellular but digest food outside
their body.
2. Plants are multicellular and are photosynthetic.
3. Animals are multicellular and eat other organisms for
nutrients.
4. Protists are the unicellular organisms that have a nucleus
but do not fit any other category.
List and describe the steps involved in solving a problem using
hypothesis-based science
observation
hypothesis
experimental
conclusion
Describe the concept "an organism is more than the sum of its
parts."
organism is part of a more complex organization. These
emergent properties go beyond itself.
By definition, distinguish between a population, a community,
and an ecosystem.
1. Population: multiple organisms in a single spot
