BIOL 1201 TEST 1: Licata; ch 1-5
Questions and Answers 100% Pass

Evolution - ANSWER ✔✔-the process of change that has transformed life on Earth from its earliest

beginnings to the diversity of organisms living today.


Evolution - ANSWER ✔✔-Fundamental organizing principle of biology and the core theme of this book


Biology - ANSWER ✔✔-Scientific study of life


Organization, Energy Use, Development, Reproduction, Evolve, Respond to the Environment - ANSWER

✔✔-Characteristics of a living system


Emergent Properties - ANSWER ✔✔-result from the arrangement and interaction of parts within a

system; can characterize nonbiological entities as well. For example, a functioning bicycle emerges only

when all of the necessary parts connect in the correct way


Cells;


for example, a skin cell - ANSWER ✔✔-What is the lowest level of biological organization that can

perform all the activities required for life?


Reductionism - ANSWER ✔✔-the reduction of complex systems to simpler components that are more

manageable to study; for example: studying the molecular structure of DNA to help understand

inheritance


Systems biology - ANSWER ✔✔-constructs models for behavior of whole biological systems--and

interactions across/between levels of biological organization

Systems Biology - ANSWER ✔✔-an approach that attempts to model the dynamic behavior of whole

biological systems based on a study of interactions among the system's parts.


Non-living factors and other organisms - ANSWER ✔✔-Every organism interacts with its environment,

including _____ and _____


Energy - ANSWER ✔✔-A fundamental characteristic of living organism's is their use of ____ to carry out

life's activities.


Energy - ANSWER ✔✔-Living organisms transform ___ from one form to another


Structure and Function - ANSWER ✔✔-___ and ___ are correlated at all levels of biological organization.


Cells


"The Cell Theory" - ANSWER ✔✔-the lowest level of organization that can perform all activities required

for life


ALL CELLS - ANSWER ✔✔-enclosed by a membrane, use DNA as their genetic information


Eukaryotic Cells - ANSWER ✔✔-Greatly larger than prokaryotic cells (prokaryotic cells are just DNA

enclosed by a cell membrane--non nucleus)


DNA - ANSWER ✔✔-the substance of genes


Genes - ANSWER ✔✔-the units of inheritance that transmit information from parents to offspring


the ability of cells to divide and duplicate their DNA - ANSWER ✔✔-the basis of all reproduction,

growth, and repair of multicellular organisms


Gene expression - ANSWER ✔✔-the process of converting information from gene to cellular product

Negative Feedback - ANSWER ✔✔-means that the product of a process inhibits the process;

accumulation of an end product of a process slows that process; The most common form of regulation in

a living system


positive feedback - ANSWER ✔✔-in which an end product speeds up its on process


Evolution - ANSWER ✔✔-explains patterns of unity and diversity in living organisms; similar traits

among organisms are explained by descent from common ancestors; the overarching theme of biology


accumulation of heritable changes - ANSWER ✔✔-Differences among organisms are explained by


Evolution - ANSWER ✔✔-accounts for the unity and diversity of life


Bacteria, Archaea bacteria, and Eukarya - ANSWER ✔✔-Three domains of life


Scientific Method - ANSWER ✔✔-Predictions or hypothesis--> Test--> Observation (Data)-->

Generalization or Model


Data - ANSWER ✔✔-recorded observations or items of information


Qualitative and Quantitative - ANSWER ✔✔-Two categories of data


Qualitative data - ANSWER ✔✔-data: descriptions rather than measurements


Quantitative data - ANSWER ✔✔-data: recorded measurements, which are sometimes organized into

tables and graphs


Inductive reasoning - ANSWER ✔✔-draws general conclusions through observations of specific/many

examples; taking a lot of different data and trying to find a pattern to it (Hypothesis formation & model

building); REASONING


Deductive reasoning - ANSWER ✔✔-uses general premises to make specific predictions; take those

general principles and speculate what will happen next (hypothesis testing & syllogisms); generally used

after the hypothesis has been developed and involves logic that flows in the opposite direction, from

general to specific; REASONING


Hypothesis - ANSWER ✔✔-A ____ must be testable and falsifiable


controlled experiment - ANSWER ✔✔-compares an experimental group with a control group


Theory (in the context of science) - ANSWER ✔✔--broader in scope than a hypothesis


-general and can lead to new, testable hypothesis


-supported by a large body of evidence in comparison to a hypothesis


understand natural phenomena - ANSWER ✔✔-The goal of science is to...


technology - ANSWER ✔✔-The goal of ____ is to apply scientific knowledge for some specific purpose.


Interdependent - ANSWER ✔✔-Science and technology are ____.


discoveries; inventions - ANSWER ✔✔-Biology is marked by "___", while technology is marked by "____"


System - ANSWER ✔✔-simply a combination of components that function together.


molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem -

ANSWER ✔✔-What is the correct order for the hierarchy of biological organization from the least to the

most complex?


Emergent properties


(A molecule such as a protein has attributes not exhibited by any of its component parts (e.g., amino

acids). Therefore, novel properties are emerging that were not present at a simpler level of organization.)

- ANSWER ✔✔-No amino acid molecule by itself can speed up or catalyze reactions between other

molecules; however, when amino acids are joined together to make a protein with catalytic properties,
