A&P VCC BIOL 1120 -CH1 EXAM WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS 2025
Anatom ( correct answers ) Study of
y form
Physiology ( correct answers ) Study of function
Hierarchy of Complexity ( correct answers )
Organism, Organ System, Organ, Tissue, Cells, Organelles, Molecules,
Atoms
Organism ( correct answers ) ...is a single, complete individual
Organ system ( correct answers ) ...is a group of organs with a specific
function. There are 11 of these in the human.
Organ ( correct answers ) ...is composed of two or more types of
tissues. These tissues work together to perform a specific function. They
have specific anatomical boundaries that make it easy to distinguish one
organ from another visually.
Tissue ( correct answers ) ...is a mass of similar cells and cell products
that form a distinct region of an organ that performs a specific function.
Cells ( correct answers ) ...are the smallest unit of an organism that
perform all the basic functions of life.
plasma Membrane ( correct answers ) ...is the boundary of the cell and is
composed of lipids and proteins.
nucleus ( correct answers ) Most cells have a single which contains
the genetic material- the hereditary information - of that cells
Organelles ( correct answers ) are components of cells that
perform specific functions within the cell.
Molecules ( correct answers ) A structure that composed of at least
two atoms
macromolecules ( correct answers ) ...are large molecules such as
proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids.
polymer ( correct answers ) most
macromolecules are : long strings of similar molecular monomers.
, monomer ( correct answers ) ...are the building blocks of polymers. ie.
protein polymers are composed of amino acid polymers.
Atoms ( correct answers ) are the smallest structures with unique
chemical identities.
Characteristics of Life ( correct answers ) Organization, Cellular
Composition, Metabolism and Excretion, Responsiveness and
Movement, Homeostasis, Development, Reproduction, Evolution
Organization ( correct answers ) Living things tend to be far more
ed than non living things. A large amount of energy must be expended to
make living (or anything) more ed.
Cellular Composition ( correct answers ) Living organisms are always
composed of one or more cells.
Metabolism and Excretion ( correct answers ) Living
organisms take material from the environment and extract energy, utilize
the material for structural components, or provide some level of control
over their processes. Some of the useless material is released back into
the environment.
metabolism ( correct answers ) The sum of all the chemical reactions
within an organism
anabolism ( correct answers ) Reactions that form complex molecules
from relatively simpler molecules or atoms. Requires energy to do so.
catabolism ( correct answers ) Reactions that break down complex
molecules into simple molecules of atoms, usually with the release of
energy
excretion ( correct answers )
Metabolism produces material that is either toxic or not required for further
metabolism. These materials are eliminated through .
Responsiveness ( correct answers ) The ability of an organism to sense and
react to changes in the environment. Can occur at all levels of organization.
Stimuli ( correct answers ) ...is the term used to describe changes in the
environment that are sensed by an organism.
Movement ( correct answers ) Most organisms have the ability to move
within their environment, but also refers to the of the
organism's components within the structure of the organism.
Homeostasis ( correct answers ) ...is the ability of an organism to
maintain relatively stable internal conditions in changing environments. ie.
temperature control
