What are the four subgroups which comprise the domain Eukarya? -
CORRECT ANSWER -Kingdom Plantae, kingdom Fungi, kingdom
Animalia, and Protists.
The three kingdoms are distinguished partly by their differing modes of
nutrition: Plants produce their own sugars and other food molecules through
the process of photosynthesis, fungi absorb nutrients in dissolved form from
their surroundings, and animals obtain food by eating and digesting other
organisms.
The most numerous and diverse eukaryotes are the ___________________.
- CORRECT ANSWER -protists
What were the three observations from nature Charles Darwin made which
laid the foundation for his theory of evolution? - CORRECT ANSWER -1
,- (Variation) Individuals in a population vary in their traits, many of which
seem to be heritable.
2 - (Competition) A population can produce far more offspring than can
survive to produce offspring of their own.
3 - (Adaptation) Species are generally suited to their environments; in other
words, they are adapted to their circumstances.
A process in which individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to
survive and reproduce at higher rates than other individuals because of those
traits. - CORRECT ANSWER -Natural selection
A type of logic in which generalizations are based on a large number of
specific observations. - CORRECT ANSWER -Inductive reasoning
A testable explanation for a set of observations based on the available data
and guided by inductive reasoning. - CORRECT ANSWER -Hypothesis
A hypothesis is narrower in scope than a theory.
, A type of logic in which specific results are predicted from a general
premise. - CORRECT ANSWER -Deductive reasoning
An experiment designed to compare an experimental group with a control
group; ideally, the two groups differ only in the factor being tested. -
CORRECT ANSWER -Controlled experiment
A factor whose value is manipulated or changed during an experiment to
reveal possible effects on another factor. - CORRECT ANSWER -
Independent variable
A factor whose value is measured during an experiment or other test to see
whether it is influenced by changes in another factor. - CORRECT
ANSWER -Dependent variable
An explanation that is broader in scope than a hypothesis, generates new
hypotheses, and is supported by a large body of evidence. - CORRECT
ANSWER -Theory
Of the 92 natural elements, about ________ - _______% are essential
elements. - CORRECT ANSWER -20-25%
