FINAL EXAM CAMPBELL'S BIOLOGY
CHAPTERS 1-17 QUESTIONS &
ANSWERS(RATED A+)
Define Biology - ANSWERthe scientific study of life
Describe each of the properties of life. - ANSWER----------Order
all living things exhibit complex organization, as seen in the highly ordered structure
of this sunflower
----------regulation
the environment outside an organism may change markedly, but mechanisms
maintain an organisms internal environmental within limits that sustain life.
Regulation of the flow of blood through this rabbit's ears helps maintain a constant
body temperature
----------Growth and development
inherited information carried by genes controls the pattern off growth and
development of animals like this duck
----------Energy processing
organisms take in energy and transform it to perform all of life's activities. When this
bear eats this fish its will use the chemical energy stored in the fish to power its own
activities
----------Response to the environment
all organisms respond to environmental stimuli, this venus fly trap closed its trap in
response to the stimulus of the fly landing on it
----------Reproduction
organisms reproduce their own kind. this penguin is protecting its baby
----------Evolutionary adaption
this animal is camouflaged in its environment, such adaptions occur over many
generations
why do some cells have different numbers? - ANSWERThey have twice the
chromosome number of haploid cells. Somatic cells (body cells excluding sex cells)
are examples of diploid cells. The diploid chromosome number is the number of
chromosomes within a cell's nucleus. The diploid chromosome number is
represented as 2n and varies among different organisms.
haploid cell - ANSWERA cell containing only one set of chromosomes (n). (half the
number needed) (23)
Haploid - ANSWERAn organism or cell having only one complete set of
chromosomes: (genetics) an organism or cell having only one complete set of
chromosomes: having a single set of unpaired chromosomes
Diploid (2n) - ANSWER2 sets of chromosomes: two copies of each chromosome
, diploid cell - ANSWERA cell containing two sets of chromosomes (2n), one set
inherited from each parent.
List and describe and give examples of each level of biological organization -
ANSWER-----------Biosphere
The part of earth that contains all ecosystems. Ex. Whole world, everything living
and nonliving
-----------Ecosystem
All of the organisms living in a particular area, as well as the non-living physical
components of the environment with which the organisms interact. Ex: Hawk, snake,
bison, prairie dog, grass, stream, rocks, air
-----------Community
Populations that live together in a defined area. Ex: Hawks, snakes, bison, prairie
dogs, grass.
-----------Population
Group of organisms of one type that live in the same area. Ex. Bison herd
-----------Organism
An individual living thing. Ex. Bison
-----------Organ system
Consists of several organs that work together in performing a specific function. Ex.
Nervous system
-----------Organ
Made up of tissues that work together to perform a specific activity. Ex. Brain
-----------Tissue
Made up of cells that are similar and work together to perform a specific activity.
Example: Nervous Tissue
-----------Cell
Smallest functional unit of life
Example: Nerve Cell
-----------Organelle
Located inside the cell; has functions.
Examples: Chloroplasts, Mitochondria
-----------Molecule
Groups of atoms; smallest unit of most chemical compounds
Examples: Water, DNA
Describe the properties that all cells share. describe and give examples of the two
main types of cells - ANSWERDNA, Nucleus; prokaryotic, eukaryotic
three domains of life - ANSWERDomain Bacteria
-bacteria
Domain Archaea
-archaea
Domain Eukarya
-kingdom plantae
-kingdom fungi
-kingdom animalia
-protist
