BIOLOGY 123 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS
AND 100% VERIFIED CORRECT
ANSWERS!!!
What is science?
Science is to Know; It is a body of information about the material world which has been
collected by vigorous, critical, and collective methods which is subjected to continuous testing
and retesting backed by a supported hypothesis. Science cannot answer ethical or moral
questions. Science is constantly changing; as technology progresses, science also progresses.
Scientific theories get tossed aside as science evolves.
What is the difference between a hypothesis, a theory, and a law?
Theory is a hypothesis that has lots of evidence to prove it.
Hypothesis is statement or generalization without evidence.
Laws: Ultimate laws that evolved from a theory. I.e. E=mc2.
Explain what a controlled experiment is?
A control group is involved with two groups:experimental and controlled. Experimental group is
one directly involved with the experiment. Control group is used as to compare the effects of an
experiment on the experimental group.
What is Biology?
Study of Life
What is evolution?
process of change over time; transformed all life on earth to what we know of it today
What are the seven attributes of living things?
Order
Evolutionary adaptation
,Response to the evironment
Growth and development
Regulation
Reproduction
Energy processing
What are the levels of biological organization?
Biosphere
ecosystems
communities
populations
organism
organ system
organs
tissues

What is invetrofertilization?
• Invetrofertilization was used to help humans have children. Race horses and cattle were used
for implantation first and so they thought they could use it on humans.
What is the difference between negative and positive feedback?
Negative feedback: continuous accumulation of end product returns less of the end product
