Biology 121 Final Exam Objectives questions and
answers Graded A+
Discuss evidence for and against the RNA world model. - ✅✅
Explain how eukaryotes are thought to have evolved from archaea and bacteria. -
✅✅
Describe structures commonly found in bacterial and archaeal cells, and compare
them to analogous eukaryotic structures. - ✅✅
Describe the properties of Gram-positive bacteria vs Gram-Negative bacteria. -
✅✅
Explain how photosynthesis has evolved in eukaryotes, and what evidence is used
to identify the origins of chloroplasts in the different groups of photosynthetic
eukaryotes. - ✅✅
Explain the evolution of primary versus secondary endosymbiosis - ✅✅
Evaluate a Phylogenetic map and draw conclusions about structures, metabolic
processes, types of motility, and mechanisms of reproduction that have evolved
only once or repeatedly in the history of eukaryotes - ✅✅
Compare and contrast the two basic body forms of fungi. - ✅✅
, Describe how fungi gain nutrients by extracellular digestion and absorption. -
✅✅
Define the characteristics that distinguish animals from other clades of Eukarya. -
✅✅
Characterize patterns of body symmetry and the presence or absence of a body
cavity in the major lineages of animals. - ✅✅
Analyze the phylogenetic tree for animals based on molecular sequence data in
terms of the parsimonious distribution of morphological characters in different
animal groups. - ✅✅
Compare the characters that differentiate phyla classified as Lophotrochozoa and
phyla classified as Ecdysozoa. - ✅✅
What features would help you distinguish between these two? Making a chart
would probably be helpful! - ✅✅
Describe the characteristics of the major Lophotrochozoan phyla
(Platyhelminthes, Annelida, Mollusca). - ✅✅
Describe the characteristics of the major Ecdysozoan phyla (Nematoda,
Arthropoda) - ✅✅
Identify the morphological characteristics shared by all groups in the phylum
Echinodermata. - ✅✅
