,TABLE OF CONTENTS

,
,Chap 01 6e Brooker
A community is composed of different populations of animals and plants.
true
false


All tissues are composed of cells.
true
false


A flower on a plant represents which level of organization?
atom
cell
organ
organism
population


Boa constrictors on an island are an example of a(n)
cell.
organ.
organism.
population.
ecosystem.


Molecules are made up of
atoms.
cells.
organs.
organisms.
populations.

,Which is the smallest of all levels of organization?
atom
cell
organ
organism
population


A community of organisms interacting with their physical environment is a(n)
population.
organism.
biosphere.
ecosystem.
macromolecular community.


In multicellular organisms, cells of the same type can associate with each other to form
atoms.
molecules.
macromolecules.
tissues.
populations.


Which level of organization is present in all life forms?
cell
tissue
organ
organelle
colony


Which level of organization includes all of the others in the list?
cell
tissue
organ
organism
population

,During photosynthesis, plants take in water and carbon dioxide from the environment and use
sunlight to fuel a series of chemical reactions that ultimately build small sugar molecules.
Which of the core concepts of biology is exemplified by photosynthesis?
Evolution
Structure and function
Information flow, exchange, and storage
Pathways and transformations of energy and matter
Systems


The phenomenon through which populations of organisms change over time due to mutation,
natural selection, and genetic exchange is
homeostasis.
growth and development.
reproduction.
biological evolution.
organization.


The protein elastin plays an important role in providing elasticity and resilience to many
tissues in the body. Elastin has elastic properties because of the way the protein can change
shape. In a relaxed condition, the protein has an overall coiled, or looped shape. When
stretched, the protein extends into a straighter, more linear form. When the stretching force is
removed, elastin recoils back into the relaxed form. Which core concept of biology does the
elastin protein exemplify?
Evolution
Structure and function
Information flow, exchange, and storage
Pathways and transformations of energy and matter
Systems


Children often resemble their parents. The transmission of an eye color gene from parent to
child is an example of which core concept of biology?
Evolution
Structure and function
Information flow, exchange, and storage
Pathways and transformations of energy and matter
Systems

,Vertical evolution, whereby living organisms evolve from a common ancestor ("tree of life"),
is the only mechanism of evolution on Earth.
true
false


All genetic mutations are harmful to an organism.
true
false


In the process of biological evolution, new species may evolve through exchange of genes
from one species to another. This process is called
proteome transfer.
horizontal gene transfer.
vertical evolution.
vertical descent with mutation.
genomic sciences.


How does evolutionary change occur?
Through the modification of characteristics in a preexisting population.
It may involve vertical descent with mutation.
It may involve horizontal gene transfer.
All of these choices are correct.
None of these choices are correct.


A variety of finch species within the Hawaiian Islands have acquired different types of beaks
needed for utilizing specific food resources. What is the likely process by which these
different species of finches came about?
vertical descent with mutation
horizontal gene transfer
an accumulation of harmful genetic mutations

, Changes in represent the predominant cause for biological evolution.
homeostasis
growth and development
reproduction
genetic makeup
energy


The proteome, rather than genome, is most directly responsible for the structure, function,
and appearance of organisms.
true
false


The modification of a limb that was used for walking in a preexisting ancestor to one that is
used as a wing for a species today is called proteomics.
true
false


If a scientist were studying the role of different proteins in the regulation of insulin secretion
from a pancreatic cell, they would be studying
genomics.
proteomics.
cell biology.
both genomics and proteomics.
both proteomics and cell biology.


Which is responsible for encoding the proteins found in a cell?
genome
proteome
cytoskeleton
evolution
extracellular proteins
