Biology - correct answer-the scientific study of life
Characteristics of Life - correct answer-1. Be made of materials
organized in a hierarchical pattern.
2. Use energy and raw materials to survive
3. Sense and respond to changing environments and maintain
internal stability, or homeostasis.
4. Grow, develop, and reproduce.
5. Be part of a population that evolves.
The Cell - correct answer-the smallest unit that displays all
characteristics of life
Matter - correct answer-Any substance that has mass and takes
up space. All matter can be classified as biotic or abiotic.
, Page | 2
Biotic - correct answer-Living or having lived
Abiotic - correct answer-nonliving and never have been alive
Atom - correct answer-Basic unit of matter
Molecule - correct answer-a chemical structure consisting of at
least two atoms held together by a chemical bond
Macromolecules - correct answer-Technically polymers, made by
combining smaller units called monomers. (Example -
Deoxyrbonucleic Acid [DNA])
Two main types of cells - correct answer-Prokaryotic and
Eukaryotic
, Page | 3
Prokaryote - correct answer-Small and simple, do not have clearly
defined compartments inside of them
Eukaryotes - correct answer-organisms made up of one or more
cells that have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
Organelles - correct answer-compartments inside of the cell that
contain specific groups of macromolecules and carry out specific
cellular functions.
microorganism - correct answer-single-celled life forms
Tissues - correct answer-A group of similar cells that perform the
same function.
Organs - correct answer-A collection of tissues that work together
to carry out a common general function.
