Chapter 1 — An Introduction to the Science of Life
(21 multiple-choice questions: question, choices A–D, correct
answer marked , then rationale)
, 1. Which of the following best describes a key feature of all
living organisms?
A. Ability to move from place to place
B. Presence of DNA as genetic material
C. Presence of a cell wall
D. Ability to photosynthesize
Rationale: All living organisms use nucleic acids (DNA or
RNA) as hereditary material; other features (movement,
cell walls, photosynthesis) are not universal.
2. The correct order of biological organization from
smallest to largest is:
A. Cell → Tissue → Organ → Organ system → Organism
B. Tissue → Cell → Organ → Organ system → Organism
C. Molecule → Organ → Cell → Tissue → Organism
D. Cell → Organ → Organ system → Tissue → Organism
Rationale: Cells make tissues, tissues form organs,
organs coordinate into organ systems, which form
organisms.
3. A hypothesis differs from a theory in that a hypothesis is:
A. A well-supported explanation with broad predictive
power
B. A tentative, testable statement about observations
C. Proven fact
D. A set of laws describing a phenomenon
Rationale: A hypothesis is a testable proposed
