FINAL EXAM CAMPBELL'S BIOLOGY
CHAPTERS #1-17 QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS
Define Biology - Answer-the scientific study of life
Describe each of the properties of life. - Answer-----------Order
all living things exhibit complex organization, as seen in the highly ordered structure of
this sunflower
----------regulation
the environment outside an organism may change markedly, but mechanisms maintain
an organisms internal environmental within limits that sustain life. Regulation of the flow
of blood through this rabbit's ears helps maintain a constant body temperature
----------Growth and development
inherited information carried by genes controls the pattern off growth and development
of animals like this duck
----------Energy processing
organisms take in energy and transform it to perform all of life's activities. When this
bear eats this fish its will use the chemical energy stored in the fish to power its own
activities
----------Response to the environment
all organisms respond to environmental stimuli, this venus fly trap closed its trap in
response to the stimulus of the fly landing on it
----------Reproduction
organisms reproduce their own kind. this penguin is protecting its baby
----------Evolutionary adaption
this animal is camouflaged in its environment, such adaptions occur over many
generations
List and describe and give examples of each level of biological organization -
Answer------------Biosphere
The part of earth that contains all ecosystems. Ex. Whole world, everything living and
nonliving
-----------Ecosystem
All of the organisms living in a particular area, as well as the non-living physical
components of the environment with which the organisms interact. Ex: Hawk, snake,
bison, prairie dog, grass, stream, rocks, air
-----------Community
Populations that live together in a defined area. Ex: Hawks, snakes, bison, prairie dogs,
grass.
-----------Population
Group of organisms of one type that live in the same area. Ex. Bison herd
-----------Organism
, An individual living thing. Ex. Bison
-----------Organ system
Consists of several organs that work together in performing a specific function. Ex.
Nervous system
-----------Organ
Made up of tissues that work together to perform a specific activity. Ex. Brain
-----------Tissue
Made up of cells that are similar and work together to perform a specific activity.
Example: Nervous Tissue
-----------Cell
Smallest functional unit of life
Example: Nerve Cell
-----------Organelle
Located inside the cell; has functions.
Examples: Chloroplasts, Mitochondria
-----------Molecule
Groups of atoms; smallest unit of most chemical compounds
Examples: Water, DNA
Describe the properties that all cells share. describe and give examples of the two main
types of cells - Answer-DNA, Nucleus; prokaryotic, eukaryotic
three domains of life - Answer-Domain Bacteria
-bacteria
Domain Archaea
-archaea
Domain Eukarya
-kingdom plantae
-kingdom fungi
-kingdom animalia
-protist
distinguish among the three domains of life, multicellular, eukaryotic - Answer-kingdom
animalia- multicellular
kingdom plantae- multicellular
Hypothesis - Answer-A testable prediction, often implied by a theory
Theory - Answer-A hypothesis that has been tested with a significant amount of data
control group - Answer-In an experiment, the group that is not exposed to the treatment;
contrasts with the experimental group and serves as a comparison for evaluating the
effect of the treatment.
dependent variable - Answer-The outcome factor; the variable that may change in
response to manipulations of the independent variable.
