SHADWICK QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
2025
Emergent Properties - correct answer- a property that a
complex system has but the individual members of the system
do not.
example: saltiness, because NaCl is salty not Na or Cl.
-all aspects of life contain emergent properties.
Viruses - correct answer- cellular nonliving structures that
require a living cell to reproduce (obligate parasites).
single celled, has an outer capsid that protects nucleic acid
core (RNA) , and requires a host cell to reproduce. have the
ability to reproduce, adapt, are organized, respond to stimuli,
and acquire energy and materials.
2 Main Components of Viruses - correct answer- Capsid - outer
portion comprised of proteins
Nucleic Acid Core (DNA or RNA)
,2 | Page
Virus Life Cycle - correct answer- Attachment, Entry,
Replication, Biosynthesis, Assembly, Building of Emergence,
Repeat
Qualities Of Life - correct answer- Living things are organized,
acquire materials, reproduce, respond to stimuli, are
homeostatic, grow and develop, have the capacity to adapt.
Individuals do not evolve.
Biosphere - correct answer- The sum of all life
Tissue - correct answer- a group of cells that perform a
particular function
Metabolism - correct answer- all of the chemical reactions that
occur in a cell
Photosynthesis - correct answer- process that transforms solar
energy into the chemical energy
,3 | Page
Energy - correct answer- capacity to do work
Systematics - correct answer- study of the evolutionary
relationships between organisms
Basic Classifications (most inclusive to lease species) - correct
answer- Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Order, Class, Family,
Genus, and Species
The 3 Domains - correct answer- The largest classification
category.
1. Archaea
2. Bacteria
-Both are prokaryotes.
3. Eukarya (4 kingdoms)
Taxonomy - correct answer- Discipline of identifying and
grouping organisms according to certain rules
, 4 | Page
Prokatyotes - correct answer- lack the membrane bound
nucleus found in the cells of eukaryotes in domain eukarya
(found in nucleus)
Kingdoms - correct answer- Eukaryotes -
protists, fungi, plants, animals
Protists - correct answer- Single Celled Organisms, fewer
multicellular species
Fungi - correct answer- Familiar molds and mushrooms that
help decompose dead organisms
Plants - correct answer- multicellular photosynthesizers
Animals - correct answer- multicellular and ingest food
Law - correct answer- a description of a pattern in nature
