ESSENTIAL BIOLOGY II W/ LAB
The science of naming and classifying organisms is called: - CORRECT-
ANSWERS--Taxonomy
Cladistics is an approach to classification that groups species on the basis
of: - CORRECT-ANSWERS--Shared, derived features
Features that evolved independently in different lineages (for example,
eyes in humans vs. octopuses; wings in birds vs. insects) are said to be: -
CORRECT-ANSWERS--Analogous
The scientific name of apples is Malus Domesticus. To which genus of
plant do they belong? - CORRECT-ANSWERS--Malus
In modern taxonomy, we group and name species primarily based on
what we know about their: - CORRECT-ANSWERS--Phylogeny
, Prokaryotes first arose around ____ years ago while eukaryotes first arose
around ____ years ago. - CORRECT-ANSWERS--Prokaryotes: 3.5 Billion
Eukaryotes: 2.1 Billion
Which of the following Domains of Life include single cell, prokaryotic
organisms? - CORRECT-ANSWERS--Bacteria and Archaea
Approximately how many genes does a typical prokaryote have? -
CORRECT-ANSWERS--2000
Most prokaryotes move by means of: - CORRECT-ANSWERS--Flagella and
Pili >>> These are long, helical-shaped protein filaments that rotate like a
propeller to push or pull the cell through a liquid medium or across a
moist surface. The movement is powered by a motor at the base of the
flagellum anchored in the cell membrane and cell wall, which uses a
proton (or sodium ion) motive force for energy.
The region within a prokaryotic cell in which the DNA is found is called
the: - CORRECT-ANSWERS--Nucleoid
Most of the genetic material of bacterium is: - CORRECT-ANSWERS--In a
single chromosome of DNA
The "bacillus" part of the name Bacillus Subtilis (a common saprophytic
soil bacterium) indicates that these organisms are: - CORRECT-ANSWERS--
Rod-Shaped
The cell walls of bacteria are distinct from those of Archaeans and
Eukaryotes because they contain: - CORRECT-ANSWERS--peptidoglycans
