Apologia Biology Module 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the first criteria for life? | All life forms contain deoxyribonucleic acid, which is called DNA. (dee ahk' see rye boh noo klay' ik) |
| What is the second criteria for life? | All life forms have a method by which they extract energy from their surroundings and convert it into energy that sustains them. |
| What is the third criteria for life? | All life forms can sense changes in their surroundings and respond to those changes. |
| What is the fourth criteria for life? | All life forms reproduce. |
| What does DNA do? | DNA provides the information necessary to take a bunch of lifeless chemicals and turn them into an ordered, living system. |
| What is Metabolism? | The sum total of all processes in an organism which convert energy and matter from outside sources and use that energy and matter to sustain the organism's life functions. |
| What is Anabolism | The sum total of all processes in an organism which use energy and simple chemical building blocks to produce large chemicals and structures necessary for life. |
| What is Catabolism? | The sum total of all processes in an organism which break down chemicals to produce energy and simple chemical building blocks. |
| What is Photosynthesis? | The process by which green plants and some other organisms use the energy of sunlight and simple chemicals to produce their own food. |
| What are Herbivores? | Organisms that eat only plants. (Giraffes are herbivores) |
| What are Carnivores? | Organisms that eat only organisms other than plants. (Tigers are carnivores) |
| What are Omnivores? | Organisms that eat both plants and other organisms. (We humans are omnivores) |
| What are Producers? | Organisms that produce their own food. (Like plants) |
| What are Consumers? | Organisms that eat living producers and/or other consumers for food. (We humans are consumers) |
| What are Decomposers? | Organisms that break down the dead remains of other organisms. (Most fungi) |
| What are Autotrophs? | Organisms that are able to make their own food. (Plants are Autotrophs) |
| What are Heterotrophs? | Organisms that depend on other organisms for their food. (We are Heterotrophs) |
| Are cows classified as herbivores, omnivores, or carnivores? | They are classified as herbivores since they only consume plants. |
| Are gorillas classified as herbivores, omnivores, or carnivores? | They are classified as omnivores since they consume both plants and other organisms. |
| Are lions classified as herbivores, omnivores, or carnivores? | They are classified as carnivores since they consume only other organisms. |
| Are rose bushes classified as producers, consumers, or decomposers? | They are classified as producers since they make their own food. |
| Is yeast classified as a producer, a consumer, or a decomposer? | It is classified as a decomposer since nearly all fungi are decomposers. |
| Are spiders classified as producers, consumers, or decomposers? | They are classified as consumers since they depend on other organisms for food. |
| What are Receptors? | Special structures that allow living organisms to sense the conditions of their internal or external environment. |
| What is Asexual Reproduction? | Reproduction accomplished by a single organism. (It splits its body into 2 organisms, making an exact copy of itself) |
| What is Sexual Reproduction? | Reproduction that requires two organisms (Of different genders) |
| What is Inheritance? | The process by which physical and biological characteristics are transmitted from the parent (or parents) to the offspring. |
| In which process, asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, is the offspring identical to the parent or parents? | In asexual reproduction, the offspring inherits the characteristics and traits of their parent. They are like a copy of their parent. |
| What is a Species? | A unit of one or more populations of individuals that can reproduce under normal conditions, produce fertile offspring, and are reproductively isolated from other such units. |
| What is a Eukaryotic Cell? | A cell with distant, membrane-bounded organelles |
| What is a Prokaryotic Cell? | A cell that has no distant, membrane-bounded organelles. |
| What are the five kingdoms organisms are grouped into? | Kingdoms Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. |
| What are the names of the groups in the Hierarchical Biological Classification Scheme? | The groups are named kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species. |
| What language do the names of the 5 kingdoms originate from? | The kingdom's names originated from Latin. |
| What is Abiogenesis? | The idea that long ago, very simple life forms spontaneously appeared through chemical reactions. |
| What are Microorganisms? | Living creatures that are too small to see with the naked eye. |
| What is a Scientific law? | A theory that has been tested by and is consistent with generations of data. |
| What is a Theory? | A hypothesis that has been tested with a significant amount of data. |
| What is a Hypothesis? | An educated guess that attempts to explain an observation or answer a question. |
| What is a Mutation? | An abrupt and marked change in the DNA of an organism compared to that of its parents. |
| What is Taxonomy? | The science of classifying organisms. |
| What is Binominal nomenclature? | Naming an organism with its genus and species name. |
