BIOL 181 WEEK 1–8 MIDTERM & FINAL EXAM
PREP PACKAGE 2026
◉ Theory. Answer: Explanation for a broad class of phenomena that
is supported by a wide body of evidence
◉ Characteristics of life. Answer: 1. Organizes biomass into coherent
structure
2. Contains heritable information
3.Reproduces and evolves
4.Has mechanisms to acquire and us energy to perform biological
work
◉ Cell. Answer: basic structural and functional units of life
◉ 3 Parts of Cell Theory. Answer: 1. All living things are made of
cells
2. Cells are the smallest units of life
3. Cells come only from other cells
◉ Hypothesis. Answer: a tentative explanation that makes testable
predictions
,Testable and falsifiable. Correlation does not equal causation.
◉ Hooke. Answer: First identifier of living cells. Coiner of term "Cell"
◉ Van Leeuwenhoek. Answer: Father of Microbiology. Used lenses to
assess the quality of fabrics in his factory
◉ Pasteur. Answer: Flask experiment was critical in demonstrating
that life does not spontaneously generate
◉ Remak. Answer: Discovered cell division when studying chicken
embryos under a microscope
◉ C most likely bonds to.... Answer: C,H,O,N+ PS
◉ Covalent Bonds. Answer: Sharing of electrons
◉ Ionic Bonds. Answer: Attraction of Opposite charger
◉ Hydrogen bond. Answer: Sharing of H atom
, ◉ Hydrophobic Interaction. Answer: Interaction of non polar
substances in the presence of of polar substance
◉ van der Waals interaction. Answer: Interaction of elections of non
polar substances
◉ Nonpolar Covalant Bonds. Answer: Shared electrons count as part
of each atoms valence shell
◉ Polar Covalent Bonds. Answer: Produce partial charges on atoms.
◉ Polar Molecules. Answer: Have asymmetric distribution of charge
◉ Nonpolar Molecules. Answer: have no permanent charge
difference between their parts
◉ H2O is important.... Answer: High specific heat and high heat of
vaporization
◉ Hydrophillic. Answer: Water loving- H0 bonding makes it possile
for almost any charged or polar substance to dissolve in water
◉ Hydrophobic. Answer: Water fearing- Water interacts with itself
(encapsulating effect)
