Guaranteed Pass Solutions 2026
Updated.
cellular organization - Answer All living things are composed of one or more cells
reproduction - Answer all organisms reproduce their own kind
metabolism - Answer the combination of chemical reactions through which an organism builds
up or breaks down materials
homeostasis - Answer relatively constant internal physical and chemical conditions that
organisms maintain
heredity - Answer the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one
generation to another.
response to stimuli - Answer React to changes in environment (temperature, humidity, light,
gravity ect.)
adaptation - Answer A characteristic that improves an individual's ability to survive and
reproduce in a particular environment. (evolve)
growth and development - Answer consistent growth and development controlled by
inherited DNA
Energy Processing - Answer the use of chemical energy to power an organism's activities and
chemical reactions
order - Answer in classification, a group of closely related families
regulation - Answer what allows an organism to handle the effects of a perturbation,
modulating its own constitutive dynamics in response to particular changes in internal and
external conditions.
Organization of life - Answer atom, molecule, organelles, cell, tissue, organ, organ system,
organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere
, prokaryotic cell - Answer simple, single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus, or any other
membrane-bound organelle
Types of Prokaryotic Cells - Answer Bacteria and Archaea
Bacteria - Answer have a type of cell wall not found in any other type of organism. It is made
of peptidoglycan, comprised of sugars and amino acids.
Archaea - Answer Domain of unicellular prokaryotes that have cell walls that do not contain
peptidoglycan
Eukaryotic cells - Answer Larger, complex, with nucleus, membrane bound organelles, DNA
tightly wrapped around histone proteins in chromosomes, cellulose in plant cell walls.
Eukaryote vs. Prokaryote - Answer Eukaryotes have a DNA containing nucleus, prokaryotes do
not
Meiosis vs. Mitosis - Answer mitosis=genetically identical diploid cells
meiosis=genetically unique haploid cells
Mitosis also does not change the chromosome number of the original cell, while Meiosis
reduces the chromosome number by half.
Meiosis - Answer Cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing
organisms
Mitosis - Answer cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same
number of chromosomes
asexual reproduction - Answer A reproductive process that involves only one parent and
produces offspring that are identical to the parent.
sexual reproduction - Answer Process by which cells from two different parents unite to
produce the first cell of a new organism.
Animal vs. Plant Cells - Answer plants have: an organelle called chloroplast, cell walls, and a
large vacuole
animals have: no cell wall, small or no vacuole, and no chloroplasts
