Exam Questions and Verified Answers |
Already Graded A+
Reductionism - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔An approach to understanding the nature of
complex things by reducing them to the interactions of their parts, or to
simpler or more fundamental things
Robert Hooke - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔In 1665, he first described and named cells
from an oak tree
Anton van Leeuwenhoek - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Discovered a microbial world in
droplets of pound water
Schleiden and Schwaan - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Called cells 'units of life' - cell
theory
Common features of Cells - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔All cells are enclosed by a
membrane that regulates passing of materials between the cell and it's
surroundings.
Every cell contains DNA.

,Two major kinds of cells, Prokaryote and Eukaryote.
Eukaryotic vs. Prokaryotic - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Eukaryotes: Have a nucleus,
membrane bound organelles. Much more complex DNA, which is held in
the nucleus. Prokaryote DNA floats freely, and are 10% the size of
Eukaryotes. They have a cell wall of peptidoglycan.
Genes - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The basic physical and functional unit of heredity
which are made up of DNA, act as instructions to make molecules called
proteins. In humans, they vary in size from a few hundred DNA bases to
more than 2 million bases.
Evidence for unity of life - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A universal genetic code, similar
metabolic pathways, and similarities of cell structure.
Three Domains/Five Kingdoms - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Domain Bacteria and
Archaea both include Kingdom Prokaryota. Domain Eukarya includes the
kingdoms of Protista (unicellular eukaryotes), Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
Taxonomy - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Domain - Kingdom - Phylum - Class - Order -
Family - Genus - Species. DKPCOFGS.

, Evolution - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The process by which different kinds of living
organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms
during the history of the earth.
Darwin's Observations and Inferences - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Observation 1:
Individual Variation. Individuals vary in many heritable traits. Observation 2:
Struggle for existence. The produced offspring is far bigger than the
environment can support.
Inference: Differential reproductive success. Those individuals with traits
best suited for local environment leave a larger number of surviving fertile
offspring.
3 Properties of living things - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Metabolism, Growth,
Reproduction.
Life's hierarchy - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Molecules, Organelles, Cells, Tissues,
Organs, Organisms, Populations.
The Cell Theory - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔1. Cells are the fundamental units of life,
a cell is the simplest unit capable of independent existence.
Plant cell structure - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Eukaryotic cells that differ in several
key aspects from the cells of other eukaryotic organisms.
