Biology, The Science of Life Questions and
Answers
Beer brewers and wine makers use grain or fruit to make alcoholic beverages. The process uses yeast,
single-celled fungi that grow and reproduce in the fluid, releasing alcohol and sometimes carbon dioxide
(which gives beer or champagne their fizz). Some researchers use controlled experiments and precise
observations to study and improve the process of beer- and wine-making. There are academic programs
of study and peer-reviewed journals in these areas of inquiry. This research...
a) is a form of chemistry, not biology
b) is a form of biological science.
c) is a social science, like economics, involving products that are bought and sold.
d) is a practical craft that is not really a science. - ✅✅B
Which of the following is not a proper scientific investigation?
a) Recording the mating behaviors of lions in the wild.
b) Using computer models to estimate the potential ecological damage to a region.
c) Observing plant growth in different greenhouse conditions.
d) All of these are scientific investigations. - ✅✅D
Which of the following is not a scientific claim?
a) "This product has been approved by a world renowned doctor"
b) "The safety of this product has been tested using mouse models"
c) "Laboratory experimentation has verified the effectiveness of this product"
d) All of these are scientific claims - ✅✅A
A researcher is investigating if online resources improve student grades. What is the control group in
this experiment?
a) Students who do not do as well in the class.
