1 - Life: Biological Principles & the Science of Zoology

Question 1

What is zoology?

Answer 1

Scientific study of animal life

Question 2

What are the defining properties of life?

Answer 2

1. The body of a living organism is highly organized
2. Living organisms can process energy
3. Living organisms respond to stimuli
4. Living organisms can reproduce
5. DNA is transmitted from one generation to the next
6. Living organisms grow and develop
7. All living organisms can move
8. Living organisms undergo genetic changes over time

Question 3

How is the cell organized

Answer 3

Monomeric units –> macromolecules –> organelles (supramolecule complexes) –> cell

Question 4

How are organisms organized

Answer 4

Cells –> tissues –> organs –> organ systems –> organisms

Question 5

Which are the simplest animals

Answer 5

Porifera/sponges ; just cells

Question 6

What animals are just tissues

Answer 6

Cnidaria (cylinterates)

Question 7

These animals utilize sunlight. Give examples

Answer 7

Autotrophs (plants, algae, cyanobacteria)

Question 8

Is photosynthesis anabolic or catabolic?

Answer 8

Anabolic (build up)

Question 9

Is cellular respiration anabolic or catabolic? How?

Answer 9

Catabolic (breaking down)

Glucose is broken down, ATP is released

Question 10

This is anything that can make a living organism react

Answer 10

Stimulus

Question 11

This is when animals stick together in cold

Answer 11

Huddling (emperor penguins)

Question 12

Differentiate asexual and sexual

Answer 12

Asexual - 1 parent, identical, no gametes

Sexual - sperm + egg, recombination

Question 13

What is the relationship of genes, DNA, and chromosome

Answer 13

genes make up DNA

DNA becomes chromosome when undergoing cellular division

Question 14

Differentiate animal growth vs development

Answer 14

Growth: increase in cell number, size
Development: more broad term, all changes

Question 15

What is ecdysis

Answer 15

Shedding

Question 16

What is being sessile and what animal is sessile

Answer 16

Attached to substrate, sponge

Question 17

What are adaptations

Answer 17

Characteristics, product

Question 18

T or F: evolution is a process

Answer 18

T

Question 19

What is speciation

Answer 19

Enough adaptations turn organism into a new species

Question 20

Differentiate bacteria and archaea

Answer 20

Bacteria: no membrane-bound organells
Archaea: naked DNA

Question 21

How did organic biological compounds exist

Answer 21

Chemicals + geophysical elements

Question 22

What is compartmentalization and what was the result

Answer 22

Enclosing or compounds

Protocells/microspheres

Question 23

This hypothesis describes how protocells/microspheres became multicellular organisms

Answer 23

Colonial Flagellate hypothesis

Question 24

Where can we find unicellular flagellated protists

Answer 24

Hay infusion

Question 25

Where did first animals come from

Answer 25

Unicellular flagellated protists

Question 26

Discuss the CF hypothesis

Answer 26

• Colonies were formed
• organized and became interdependent (hollow sphere)
• specialization
• yehey multicellular organism

Question 27

What did cells specialize into

Answer 27

Reproduction
Excretion
Digestion

Question 28

How did the multicellular organism get organs

Answer 28

Invagination

Question 29

Hierarchical classification?

Answer 29

Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species

King peter came over for gay sex

Question 30

What is the scientific method

Answer 30

Observation
hypothesis
Empirical test
Conclusions
Publication
