Define biology. correct answers Biology is the scientific study of life and is the branch of science
that studies living organisms and the way organisms interact with their environments.
What are the characteristics of life? correct answers Be made of materials organized in a
hierarchical pattern. Use energy and raw materials to survive. Sense and respond to changing
environments and maintain internal stability, or homeostasis. Grow, develop and reproduce with
the help of DNA. Evolve.
The cell is..... correct answers the smallest unit that displays all of these characteristics. Also, the
fundamental unit of life.
Matter is.... correct answers any substance that has mass and takes up space.
All matter can be classified in one of two categories: correct answers biotic (living) or abiotic
(nonliving)
To be classified as biotic..... correct answers all of the required conditions for life must be met or
have been met in the past.
hierarchy of life consists of..... correct answers atom, molecule, Macromolecules, cell,
organelles, microorganisms. Tissues, Organs, organ system, Organisms, population, community.
ecosystem. Biosphere
What level of organization is found within all of the other levels correct answers population
Emergent Properties correct answers Characteristics of a system that do not appear in any one of
its component parts alone, but that appear when all parts are combined.
Life is organized into.... correct answers hierarchical levels of increasing complexity
, Life is an emergent property, and one that appears at... correct answers the cellular level of
organization.
Molecules are not alive, but they are... correct answers the components of life.
What is the first level of hierarchical organization that possesses the emergent property of "life?"
correct answers cell
Viruses contain genetic information in the form of either... correct answers DNA or RNA.
In order to reproduce, a virus must infect a host cell and hijack... correct answers the host cell's
machinery.
Organelle correct answers A compartment inside the cells of eukaryotes that contain specific
groups of macromolecules and carry out specific cellular functions.
Structure determines... correct answers function.
Living organisms maintain..... correct answers homeostasis.
Energy flows through living systems; matter.... correct answers is recycled
Life's components are.... correct answers interconnected and interdependent
Organisms grow, develop, and.... correct answers reproduce.
evolutionary processes explain both the unity and.... correct answers adaptive diversity of life
