Solved Correctly.
Hiearchy of life order - Answer bio-eco-com-pop-organism-organ syst-organ-tissue-cell-organelle-
molecule-atom /each step causes new properties to emerge as result of interaction among lower level
components
systems biology - Answer model dynamic behavior of a whole biological systems based on a study of
interactions among systems parts
reductionism - Answer complex systems broken down to simpler components that are more
manageable to study
Energy - Answer energy from sunlight-converted to chemical energy by producers-passed to consumers
cell - Answer organisms basic unit of structure and function
eukaryotic cells - Answer contain membrane-enclosed organelles including dna-containing nucleus
prokaryotic cells - Answer lack dna containing nucleus or membrane
DNA - Answer long linear polymer in the nucleus of cell formed from nucleotides and shaped like a
double helix transfers heritable info from parents to offspring
gene expression - Answer conversion of the information encoded in a gene first into messenger RNA
and then to a protein
genomics - Answer study and comparison of genomes within a single species or among different
species
, positive feedback - Answer Feedback that tends to magnify a process or increase its output. regulation
common to life at all levels which regulate biological systems
natural selection - Answer the principle that, among the range of inherited trait variations, those that
lead to increased reproduction and survival will most likely be passed on to succeeding generations
