BIOL1111 (General Biology 1) Exam 1
Mary Sue Potts Santone Question and
answers correctly solved 2025/2026
Defining Life - correct answer ✔All living things are comprised of the same chemical elements and obey
the same physical and chemical laws as nonliving objects
3 Things for Life - correct answer ✔Hereditary material, raw material, energy inputs
Biological Evolution - correct answer ✔Descent with modification (the process by which the
characteristics of organisms change over generations, by means of genetic variation and natural
selection)
Unity - correct answer ✔The theory of evolution is a unifying concept in Biology and shows how all
living organism descended from a common ancestor
Diversity - correct answer ✔The the theory of evolution also explains the vast amount of diversity in
living species
Natural Selection - correct answer ✔The process whereby organisms better adapted to their
environment tend to survive and produce more offspring
Adaptation - correct answer ✔Any modification that makes an organism suited to its way of life
Aristotle - correct answer ✔Author of Scala Naturae (scale of life) that classified organisms and non
living objects from least to most complex
, (Carolus) Linnaeus - correct answer ✔Author of Systema Naturae and creator of binomial
nomenclature
(Charles) Darwin - correct answer ✔Creator of the theory of evolution based on natural selection
Taxonomy - correct answer ✔Science of identifying and classifying organisms according to evolutionary
relationships
Phylogeny - correct answer ✔Tree of life
Scientific Name - correct answer ✔Binomial Nomenclature (Genus species), universal, Latin-based
Levels of Biological Organization - correct answer ✔Cell->Tissue->Organ->Organ System-
>Organism(species)->Population->Community->Ecosystem->Biosphere
Cell - correct answer ✔Most basic unit of life
Materials and Energy - correct answer ✔Energy is the capacity to do work, energy flows through the
biosphere in nutrient cycles
Metabolism - correct answer ✔All chemical reactions in a cell
Anabolism - correct answer ✔The synthesis of more complex substances from simpler ones
(constructive metabolism)
Catabolism - correct answer ✔The breaking down of more complex substances into simpler ones, with
the release of energy (destructive metabolism
