BIOL 1105 TEST 1 STUDY GUIDE
QUESTIONS WITH 100% VERIFIED
ANSWERS
\.Connect biology to other scientific and quantitative disciplines - ANSWERS--
Biology can help understand the natural world through OBSERVATION and
REASONING
- Scientific method
-Deductive Reasoning
-Inductive Reasoning
-Reductionism
- Systems biology
- Scientific Theory
\.deductive reasoning - ANSWERS-Using general principles to make specific
predictions
ex: natural selection used to explain changes in population
\.inductive reasoning - ANSWERS-using specific observations to develop general
conclusions
ex: fossils show that life has changed on the earth over time
,\.Reductionism - ANSWERS--breaks a complex process down to its component
parts
-has advanced understanding in many areas of biology
\.Systems Biology - ANSWERS--focuses on how components work together
-relies heavily on modeling of biological processes
-may allow prediction of emergent properties
\.Scientific theory - ANSWERS-expresses idea of which we are not certain
\.Scientific Method - ANSWERS-Observation
Question
Hypothesis
Prediction
Experimentation
Conclusion
\.Describe the characteristics of living systems - ANSWERS-1) Living things are
made of cells.
2)Living systems store and process information
3) Living systems transform energy
4) Living systems grow and reproduce
5) Living systems adapt and evolve
, \.Recognize that living systems are diverse yet relates to each other - ANSWERS--
Phylogenetic Tree: Common Ancestor; 3 domains
-organisms exhibit incredible diversity in form and function (which is observable
through an organism's phenotype, which is determined by its genotype). However,
all organisms are related to each other and descend from a common ancestor
\.Identify the taxonomic ranks used to classify organisms - ANSWERS--these ranks
make up a hierarchy with the domain being the most inclusive and species being
the most specific
-Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
\.Discuss the tenants of the Cell theory - ANSWERS-1) All living organisms are
composed of cells
2) Cell is the basic unit of life
3) All cells arise from pre-existing cells
all cells today represent a continuous line of descent from the first living cell
\.Summarize the hierarchy of organization of living systems - ANSWERS-atom
