1.1 Multiple-Choice Questions
1) The Branch Of Science That Studies The Natural World Within The Context Of
Life Is
A) Biology.
B) Geology.
C) Chemistry.
D) Physics.
E) Medicine.
ANS: A
Biology Is The Scientific Study Of Life And Living Organisms, Focusing On Their
Structure, Function, Growth, Origin, Evolution, And Distribution. Unlike Geology
(Study Of Earth), Chemistry (Study Of Matter), Physics (Study Of Energy And
Forces), And Medicine (Application Of Biology In Health), Biology Specifically
Addresses Life Forms And Their Interactions With The Environment.

2) The Process By Which Living Organisms Maintain A Fairly Constant Internal
Environment Despite Changes In The External Environment Is Known As
A) Metabolism.
B) Biology.
C) Homeostasis.
D) Evolution.
E) Chemistry.
ANS: C
,Homeostasis Refers To The Regulatory Processes That Organisms Use To Maintain
Stable Internal Conditions (Like Temperature And Ph) Despite External Changes.
This Is Critical For Survival, As It Allows Organisms To Function Optimally
Regardless Of External Conditions.

3) Molecules Of Life Include Which One Of The Following?
A) Water, Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic Acids, Carbohydrates
B) Proteins, Saturated Fats, Monosaccharides, But Not Polysaccharides
C) Lipids And Proteins Only
D) Any Noncarbon Base Molecule
E) Nonsugar Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, Water
ANS: A
The Molecules Of Life Include Water, Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic Acids, And
Carbohydrates. These Molecules Are Essential For Various Biological Functions,
Including Structure (Proteins), Energy Storage (Carbohydrates), Genetic Information
(Nucleic Acids), And Cellular Membranes (Lipids).

4) Which One Of The Following Is A True Statement?
A) Molecules Are Considered To Be The Smallest Unit Capable Of Exhibiting All
The Characteristics Of Life.
B) Cells Arise Spontaneously From Nonliving Chemical Elements.
C) All Living Things Are Made Up Of At Least One Cell.
D) Cells Are Incapable Of Maintaining Homeostasis Because They Are Too Small.
E) Complex Organisms Can Be Unicellular.
,ANS: C
Statement C Is True Because All Living Organisms, From The Simplest Bacteria To
Complex Multicellular Organisms Like Humans, Are Composed Of At Least One
Cell. This Cell Is The Basic Unit Of Life, Capable Of Carrying Out Essential
Functions.

5) Which One Of The Following Is A Correct Statement Regarding Metabolism?
A) Few Living Organisms Require Raw Materials And A Constant Source Of Energy.
B) Plants Get The Raw Materials They Need For Life Processes Entirely From The
Air.
C) Cells Maintain Life Through The Breakdown Of Molecules And Energy By
Chemical And Physical Processes.
D) Cells Do Not Require Energy To Change Molecules From One Form To Another.
E) Animals Use Energy Obtained Directly From The Sun And Chemicals Obtained
From Plants, Other Animals, Air, And Water.
ANS: C
Metabolism Encompasses All Biochemical Reactions Within Cells, Including Those
That Break Down Molecules To Release Energy And Those That Build Up
Molecules. It Is Essential For Maintaining Life, Enabling Growth, Reproduction, And
Response To Environmental Changes.

6) All Of These Criteria Are Used To Classify An Organism As A Member Of The
Plant, Animal, Or Fungi Kingdom Except Which One?
A) The Organism's Life Cycle
B) The Means By Which The Organism Transports Itself
C) The Structure Or Body Plan Of The Organism
,D) The Mode Of Nutrition Of The Organism
ANS: B
While Life Cycles, Body Plans, And Modes Of Nutrition Are Crucial For
Classification Within Kingdoms, The Means Of Transport (How Organisms Move) Is
Not A Defining Criterion For Classification Into The Plant, Animal, Or Fungi
Kingdoms.

7) Which One Of The Following Is A Kingdom?
A) Eukarya
B) Primates
C) Archaea
D) Animalia
E) Bacteria
ANS: D
Animalia Is One Of The Major Biological Kingdoms, Comprising Multicellular
Organisms That Are Typically Heterotrophic (Consume Organic Material). Eukarya
Refers To A Domain That Includes Several Kingdoms, Including Animalia And
Plantae, While Archaea And Bacteria Are Separate Domains.

8)
,Based On The Figure Above, Which Group Of Organisms Is Most Closely Related To
Members Of The Kingdom Animalia?
A) Protista
B) Fungi
C) Plantae
D) Bacteria
E) Archaea
ANS: B
Fungi And Animals Share A More Recent Common Ancestor Than They Do With
Plants, Bacteria, Or Archaea. Both Kingdoms Are Part Of The Domain Eukarya And
Are Characterized By Their Complex Cellular Structures, But They Differ In
Nutrition And Reproduction. The Close Evolutionary Relationship Is Evidenced By
Genetic Similarities.

9) Which Kingdom In The Domain Eukarya Contains Multicellular Photo
synthesizers?
A) Plantae
B) Bacteria
, C) Fungi
D) Archaea
E) Animalia
ANS: A
The Plantae Kingdom Is Composed Of Multicellular Organisms That Perform
Photosynthesis, Utilizing Sunlight To Convert Carbon Dioxide And Water Into
Glucose And Oxygen. This Ability Distinguishes Them From Fungi, Which Absorb
Nutrients, And Animals, Which Consume Organic Matter.
