Biologists categorize all living things based on related characteristics into large
groups, called:
Kingdoms.
Living things can be distinguished from non living things because they have
Cellular organization.
Living things are organized. Choose the answer that illustrates this organization
and that is arranged from smallest to largest.
Atoms, Molecules, Macromolecules, Organelles, Cells, Tissues, Organs, Organ System,
Organism, Population, Species, Community, Ecosystem.
At each level in the hierarchy of living things, properties occur that were not
present at the simpler levels. These are referred to as
Emergent Properties
The FIVE general biological themes are:
1) Evolution, 2) The flow of Energy, 3) Cooperation, 4) Structure determines function, 5)
Homeostasis
When trying to figure out explanations for observations. You usually construct a
series of possible hypotheses. The you make predictions of what will happen if
each hypothesis is true, and:
test each hypothesis, using appropriate controls, to determine which hypothesis is true.
Which of the following is correct regarding a hypothesis?
After sufficient testing, you can accept it is probable, being aware that it may be revised
or rejected in the future.
Cell theory states that
All living organisms consist of cells, and all cells come from other cells.
The gene theory states that all the information that specifies what a cell is and
what it does
is different for each cell type in the organism, is passed down, unchanged, from parents
to offspring, is contained in a long molecule called DNA.
The theory of evolution is based on the hypothesis put forth by
Darwin.
The smallest particle into which a substance can be divided & still remain all of
its chemical properties is
An atom
An atom that gained or lost one or more electrons is
an Ion
Atoms are held together by a force called a chemical bond. The three types of
chemical bonds are:
Ionic, covalent, and hydrogen
Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer electron shell, therefore
It can form four single covalent bonds
