Bio 182 study guide UPDATED Exam
Questions and CORRECT Answers
In biology, what is meant by form and function? - CORRECT ANSWER - Form directly
influences the function. If structure found in an animal is adaptive-it helps the individual produce
offspring-then the structure's size,shape,or composition often correlates closely with its function
What is meant by the statement: ...adaptations are trade-offs? Describe a few examples. -
CORRECT ANSWER - Expenditures of time and energy.
How is surface area related to volume? How do they both change with increasing size? -
CORRECT ANSWER - Volume increases faster than surface area
How is adaptation different from acclimation? - CORRECT ANSWER - Acclimatization-
phenotypic change that occurs in an individual in response to a short-term change in
environmental conditions
Physiology- the study of how the physical structures in an organism function
Homeostasis - CORRECT ANSWER - maintenance of relatively constant chemical and
physical conditions in an animal's cells, tissues, and organs.
Temperature Regulation - CORRECT ANSWER - Biggest variation among animal
species: amount of heat generated by the animal's own tissues and the degree to which body
temperature varies over time....
What is Homeostasis? - CORRECT ANSWER - The maintenance of relatively constant
chemical and physical conditions in an animal's cells, tissues, and organs.
What kinds of organisms use homeostasis? What does an organism need to regulate various
parameters? - CORRECT ANSWER - An organism uses a set point, integrator, and an
effector.
, cover the body and line organs- - CORRECT ANSWER - epithelial tissues
connective tissues - CORRECT ANSWER - support and reinforce other tissues
muscle tissues - CORRECT ANSWER - contract, made up of fibers
nervous tissues - CORRECT ANSWER - process information and transmit electrical
signals-
Digestive - CORRECT ANSWER - -digestion and absorption; mouth, esophagus, and
stomach.
Endocrine - CORRECT ANSWER - secretes different hormones that regulate metabolism,
growth development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep and mood----Organs-
pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancrea
circulatory - CORRECT ANSWER - Transports materials, oxygen absorbed into the
lungs.....Organs- heart and blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries)
nervous - CORRECT ANSWER - percieve and comprehend; sensory neurons;..organs-
Brain and Spinal Cord
respiratory - CORRECT ANSWER - -To supply blood with oxygen in order for the blood
to delivery Oxygen to all parts of the body. Through breathing. Organs- Nose, mouth, pharynx,
larynx, trachea, bronchi
excretory - CORRECT ANSWER - elimination of wastes produced through homeostasis-
Organs- sweat glands, liver, lungs, and kidney system
skin - CORRECT ANSWER - Protection, regulation, and sensation
