Solved Correct Rated A+.
What is Biology? - Answer the scientific study of life
What are the properties of life? - Answer Order, Reproduction, Growth and Development,
Energy Processing, Regulation, Response to the Environment, Evolutionary adaptation
Describe the biological organization (hierarchy) from least inclusive to most inclusive. - Answer
Molecule, Organelle, Cell, Tissue, Organ, Organ system, Organism, Population, Community,
Ecosystem, Biosphere
What is the difference between a 'tissue' and an 'organ system'? - Answer Tissue is made up of
a group of similar cells, that form a particular organ, an organ system is consists of a group of
organs that cooperate in a specific function. Ex: A nerve (tissue) and the nervous system (organ
system)
What levels of organization are represented in ground-up muscle? - Answer Tissue, Cell,
Organelle
Common cellular activity includes: - Answer regulate its internal environment, take in and use
energy, respond to its environment, and build and maintain it complex organization.
Your instructor asks you to look into your microscope to see a prokaryotic cell. You will be
looking for a cell that: - Answer Has a membrane
Statements about ecosystems: - Answer Consists of all the organisms living in a particular
area, as well as the physical components with which the organisms interact, such as air, soil,
water, and sunlight.
In an ecosystem, what is energy? - Answer The largest source of energy for an ecosystem is
the sun. Energy and nutrients are passed around through the food chain, when one organism
eats another organism. Any energy remaining in a dead organism is consumed by decomposers.
Energy that is not used in an ecosystem is eventually lost as heat.
, grouped into very long DNA molecules called chromosomes. Genes also control the activities of
a cell. Genes are coded in sequences that make up DNA's double helix.
Organisms that are prokaryotes are in the domain's: - Answer Bacteria and Archaea
Statements about the domain Bacteria: - Answer Bacteria are the most diverse and
widespread prokaryotes and are among the first life-forms on Earth. Live in Earth's extreme
environments (ie. salty lakes, radioactive wastes, and boiling hot springs)
Members of the kingdom Animalia: - Answer Can obtain their food by eating other organisms.
Kingdom Fungi include species - Answer that are diverse. Members mostly decompose the
remains of dead organisms and organic wastes and absorb the nutrients into their cells
Which of the following is a kingdom within the domain Eukarya - Answer Fungi
Organisms that belonging to the Kingdom Plantae - Answer are photosynthetic and contain
cells that are surrounded by cell walls with cellulose.
The teeth of grain-eating animals (such as horses) are usually broad and ridged. This makes the
teeth suitable for grinding and chewing. Meat-eating animals (such as lions) have pointed teeth
that are good for puncturing and ripping flesh. This illustrates: - Answer a result of natural
selection and the connection between form and function
Which of the following statements in NOT consistent with Darwin's theory of natural selection?
- Answer Individual organisms exhibit genetic change during their life spans to better fit their
environment
An antibiotic kills 99.9% of a bacterial population. You would expect the next generation of
bacteria... - Answer To become more resistant the that antibiotic
Statements about Evolution: - Answer The process of change that has transformed life on
earth from its earliest beginnings to the diversity of organisms living today. Fossil records show
that life has been evolving for billions of years. Evolution does not occur on a single organism
but on a whole population over time.
