Biology 1010 Final exam (comprehensive) Questions With
Complete Solutions
Abiotic Factors Correct Answers Water, Rocks and soil,
Sunlight, Temperature, Wind
Age structure pyramids. How do they predict growth? Correct
Answers Rapid growth, Slow growth, Decrease. They help us
understand growth by the amount of ppl being born and dying
and such helping make an estimation of the amount of ppl that
we will have on earth.
Algae and photosynthetic bacteria is often limited by levels of
what? Correct Answers Nitrogen and phosphorus.
All the organisms in a particular area make up a(n) _____.
Correct Answers community
Allopatric speciation Correct Answers Separation by a
geographic barrier.
Alternate building practices Correct Answers green roofs, straw
houses
An organism gets carbon by using carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere to make sugar molecules. This organism is a Correct
Answers Producer
An organism's "trophic level" refers to __________. Correct
Answers what it eats
,Aquatic Biomes Correct Answers occupy roughly 75% of
earths surface. Freshwater biomes, Marine biomes.
Aquatic but not terrestrial ecosystems are more limited by what?
Correct Answers the levels of dissolved oxygen, salinity,
currents and tides.
ATP Correct Answers Energy made in Mitochondria.
Adenosine triphosphate. supplies the energy for the cells to do
their work.
Benefits of Fungi Correct Answers fungi are heterotrophs. they
digest their food externally. They are decomposers, used to
make antibiotics, eaten as food, make bread, cheeses,
mycorrhizae.
Biome Correct Answers a major terrestrial or aquatic life zone
characterized by: vegetation type in terrestrial biomes, the
physical environment in aquatic biomes.
Carbon cycle Correct Answers Photosynthesis(plants, algae,
cyanobacteria), primary consumers, cellular respiration,
decomposers (animals/plants) burning fossil fuels. THIS
HAPPENS VERY QUICKLY
Carbon footprint Correct Answers The total amount of
greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support
human activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon
dioxide.
, Carrying capacity Correct Answers the number of individuals in
a population that the environment can maintain. If the
population overachieves this number it will crash and fall to
very fatal numbers.
Cellular respiration/ where does it occur? Correct Answers
occurs in the mitochondria. Process where food is broken down
in the presence of oxygen to produce energy for the organism.
Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport.
Chloroplast Correct Answers Site of photosynthesis. Light
energy from the sun is turned into chemical energy here then is
moved to the mitochondria to make ATP.
Communities Correct Answers all the populations of living
things that inhabit a given area.
Competition Correct Answers occurs when two species use the
same resource.
Diffusion Correct Answers Passive transport. , The process by
which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to
an area of lower concentration
Diploid vs Haploid Correct Answers Somatic cells contain the
diploid number of chromosomes. Gametes contain the haploid
number of chromosomes.
Dispersion pattern Correct Answers The way individuals are
spaced within the population's geographic range.
