BIO 131 Exam 1-Chapter 1 Questions
and Answers
Properties of living things: - Answer -1.) Reproduction
2.) Growth and Development
3.) Energy Use
4.) Order
5.) Consist of cells
6.) Response to the environment
7.) Evolution
Reproduction - Answer -All organisms reproduce their own kind (Elephants only give
birth to baby elephants, never baby lions)
Growth and Development - Answer -Information carried by genes controls the pattern of
growth in all organisms
Energy Use - Answer -Every organism takes in Energy, converts it to useful forms, and
expels energy
Order - Answer -Each living thing has a complex but well-ordered structure
Cells - Answer -All living organisms consists of cells
Some have just one cell
Some have trillions of cells
Cell - Answer -Fundamental unit of life
Response to the environment - Answer -All organisms respond to changes in the
environment
Many of these responses help to keep an organism's internal environment within narrow
limits
Evolution - Answer -Individuals with traits that help them survive and reproduce pass
the genes for those traits to offspring, driving the evolution of populations
Virus - Answer -NOT ALIVE
, Cannot reproduce on own
Not composed of cells
show growth
Use energy
Adapt
(When it attaches to host it can do those things
Levels of Life - Answer -1.) Biosphere
2.) Ecosystem
3.) Community
4.) Population
5.) Organism
6.) Organ system
8.) Organ
9.) Tissue
10.) Cell
11.) Organelle
12.) Molecule
13.) Atom
Biosphere - Answer -Consists of all life on earth
Ecosystem - Answer -Consists of the living and non-living components
Community - Answer -Consists of all the interacting populations in an ecosytem
Population - Answer -Group of interacting individuals of one species
Organisms - Answer -Individual living being
Organ system - Answer -Group of organs that work together
Organ - Answer -Multiple tissues that cooperate to perform a specific task
Tissue - Answer -Integrated group of similar cells that work together
Organelle - Answer -Component of the cell that performs a specific function
Molecule - Answer -Group of atoms bonded together
Atom - Answer -Fundamental unit of matter
Scientific Method - Answer -Observation
Question
Hypothesis
Prediction
