EXAM 1 STUDY GUIDE: BIOLOGY 102
ESSENTIAL BIOLOGY II W/LAB, 2025/2026
WITH CORRECT/ACCURATE ANSWERS
PORTAGE LEARNING
Covers Evolution, Population Genetics, and the beginning of Biological
Diversity (Viruses, Bacteria, Archaea).
ESSENTIAL BIOLOGY II W/LAB
All living things are grouped into one of the three "domains." Name the
domains, and describe the basis of classification. Which domains do each
of the following belong to: plants, animals, fungi, common bacteria. -
CORRECT-ANSWERS--Bacteria (common bacteria)
Archaea
Eukarya (plants, animals, fungi, protists)
Which domain is the most diverse? - CORRECT-ANSWERS—Bacteria >>
functional diversity, abundance, and metabolic capabilities, the
domains Bacteria and Archaea are incredibly diverse.
Eukaryotes can be divided into four kingdoms—know their names.
Describe the differences between Plants, Animals, and Fungi based on
their nutrition. How are their cell structure different...that is think about
whether the cell has a cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus etc? if it has a cell
wall, then what is the material made up of? - CORRECT-ANSWERS--Plants
are autotrophs
, Animals and fungi are heterotrophs
Protists are similar to all other categories, kind of random
Only plants, some fungi and some protists have a cell wall. ANIMALS HAVE
NO CELL WALL. They all have cell membrane and nucleus.
CELL WALL MADE OF CELLULOSE
MEMBRANE MADE OF LIPIDS
The present phylogenetic trees are based on ______ - CORRECT-
ANSWERS--DNA
Know to analyze evolutionary trees and tell the relationship between
species in the tree. - CORRECT-ANSWERS--Closer related = More recent
ancestor
Ancestors are shown at nodes
What are the characteristics shared by all living things? - CORRECT-
ANSWERS--Cells, DNA, Metabolism, Homeostasis >>>
The universal characteristics of life are:
Cellular Organization: All living things are composed of one or more cells, the
basic structural and functional unit of life.
Metabolism/Energy Processing: Organisms obtain and use energy from their
environment (through processes like cellular respiration or photosynthesis) to
power their activities, growth, and maintenance. This involves a highly
organized system of chemical reactions.
