QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS PASS GUIDE
◉ 7 characteristics of life
Answer: organization, cells, response to stimuli, homeostasis,
metabolism, growth, development, reproduction, change through
time
◉ emergent properties
Answer: New properties that arise with each step upward in the
hierarchy of life, owing to the arrangement and interactions of parts
as complexity increases.
◉ Levels of Biological Organization
Answer: atom, molecule, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism,
population, community, ecosystem, biosphere
◉ Energy
Answer: the ability to do work
◉ Metabolism
,Answer: All of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism
◉ Homeostasis
Answer: A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal
state; the regulation of any aspect of body chemistry, such as blood
glucose, around a particular level
◉ Responsiveness
Answer: Reaction to a change inside or outside the body
◉ Reproduction
Answer: the process of producing offspring
◉ asexual reproduction
Answer: A reproductive process that involves only one parent and
produces offspring that are identical to the parent.
◉ sexual reproduction
Answer: Process by which cells from two different parents unite to
produce the first cell of a new organism.
◉ development
, Answer: the process of change that occurs during an organism's life
to produce a more complex organism
◉ Evolution
Answer: The gradual change in a species over time
◉ Adaptation
Answer: A characteristic that improves an individual's ability to
survive and reproduce in a particular environment.
◉ Taxonomy
Answer: The scientific study of how living things are classified
◉ classification system
Answer: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus,
Species
◉ Domain Archaea
Answer: One of the three domains of life; contains prokaryotic cells
that often live in extreme habitats and have unique genetic,
biochemical, and physiological characteristics; its members are
sometimes referred to as archaea.
