biology correct answers scientific study of living things
7 characteristics of living things correct answers 1. consist of one or more cells 2. contain genetic
info 3. use genetic info to reproduce themselves 4. are genetically related and have evolved 5.
can convert molecules obtained from their environment into new biological molecules 6. can
extract energy from the environment and use it to do biological work 7. can regulate their
internal environment
viruses correct answers not cells, must parasitize a host to complete jobs, but do have genetic
info and do evolve
cells correct answers basic unit of life
Original Cell Theory correct answers 1. Cells are basic structural and physiological units of all
living organisms
2. Cells are both distinct entities and building blocks of more complex organisms
Modern Cell Theory correct answers 1. All cells come from pre existing cells
2. All cells are similar in chem composition
3. Most of the chem reactions of life occur in aqueous solution within cells
4. Complete sets of genetic information are replicated and passed on during cell division
5. Viruses lack cellular structure but remain dependent on cellular organisms
Evolution correct answers change in genetic makeup of biological populations through time, is
the major unifying principle of biology
, natural selection correct answers Charles Darwin, On the Origin of Species -- differential
survival and reproduction among individuals in a population could account for much of the
evolution of life
species correct answers a group of organisms that can produce viable and fertile offspring with
one another
adaptation correct answers structural, physiological, or behavioral traits that enhance an
organism's chances of survival and reproduction in its environment
Other evolutionary processes that contribute to rise of diverse adaptations correct answers sexual
selection and genetic drift
genome correct answers sum total of all the DNA molecules it contains
genes correct answers specific segments of DNA encoding the info the cell uses to make proteins
mutations correct answers alterations of the genome; can occur spontaneously, can be induced by
outside factors including chemicals and radiation
mechanical work correct answers moving molecules from one cellular location to another,
moving whole cells or tissues, or even moving the organism itself, as muscles do
synthesis correct answers most basic cellular work of new complex molecules and structures
from chemical units
electrical work correct answers essence of information processing in nervous system
metabolism correct answers sum total of all chemical transformations and other work done in all
the cells of an organism
