BIOD 101 - EXAM 2 EXAM WITH
CORRECT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
2025
List the 7 most widely accepted characteristics of living organisms.: -
CORRECT-ANSWERS >>>>>>1.) Order
2.) Evolutionary Adaptation
3.) Regulation
4.) Energy Processing
5.) Growth and Development
6.) Response to the Environment
7.) Reproduction
What is ORDER? - CORRECT-ANSWERS >>>>>>Highly ordered
structures are comprised of the basic unit of life which is the cell
What is EVOLUTIONARY ADAPTATION? (Give an example) - CORRECT-
ANSWERS >>>>>>Smaller genetic changes that allow for better survival
of an organism; an example of evolutionary adaptation is camouflage,
animals that are camouflaged within their given environment will,
theoretically, live longer and will thus reproduce more.
, What is REGULATION? (Give an example) - CORRECT-ANSWERS
>>>>>>Regulation is the ability of an organism to handle changes within
their internal and external environment so that they can maintain
homeostasis (a state of balance internally that is needed for the body to
survive and function correctly); An example of regulation is when humans
shiver to generate body heat.
What is ENERGY PROCESSING? (Give an example) - CORRECT-ANSWERS
>>>>>>When biochemical reactions are utilized to produce energy (also
known as metabolism); an example is photosynthesis in plants, or when an
animal ingests food.
Define GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT: - CORRECT-ANSWERS
>>>>>>When a living thing grows, matures, ages, and experiences death.
Define RESPONSE TO THE ENVIRONMENT: - CORRECT-ANSWERS
>>>>>>When living things respond to a stimulus within their environment
through adaptation.
Define ADAPTATION: (Give an example) - CORRECT-ANSWERS
>>>>>>Adaptation is a change or process that allows an organism to
become better suited for their environment; Adaptations can be physical or
behavioral - an example of a physical adaptation is a crab's hard shell, an
