Q

What happens when foods are taken and are broken down into tiny substances?

A

16
Q

This is basically the maintenance of the body’s internal environment.

A

Homeostasis

17
Q

TRUE OF FALSE:

All living organisms are capable of locomotion or motility.

A

TRUE

18
Q

TRUE OF FALSE:

Cilia, flagella, and pseudoponds are locomotory organs used by mircroorganisms.

A

TRUE

19
Q

What is another word for external factors that affect living organisms?

A

Stimuli/Stimulus

20
Q

This a term used to refer the reaction of the organism to the stimuli.

A

Tropism/ response

21
Q

This is a term used to refer to the ability to respond appropriately to a stimuli.

A

irritability/ sensitivity

22
Q

This occurs slowly than responding to stimuli because some changes need to happen in the organism.

A

Individual Adaptation

23
Q

This refers to the changes in the characteristics of a group or organisms over time.

A

evolution

24
Q

This is a gradual or rapid change in the body structure or behavior of organisms to better suit their new environment and survive.

A

Evolutionary Adaptation

25
Q

This is a type of adaptation that refers to the internal systematic responses to stimuli to help the organism maintain homeostasis.

A

Physiological Adaptation

26
Q

Another type of adaptation wherein the animals use their physical features.

A

Structural Adaptation

27
Q

Examples of this type of adaptation are: migration and hibernation.

A

Behavioral Adaptation

28
Q

What process is needed for the growth, development, and reproduction of the organism?

A

Metabolism

29
Q

If the living organism exhibits growth within the cell, what is it called?

A

Intussusception

30
Q

This is process through which genetic information is passed down from one generation to another when organisms give offsprings.

A

Reproduction

31
Q

What are two types of reproduction?

A

Asexual and Sexual

32
Q

This is a common genetic material, which is also called the molecule of life that carries instruction for assembling proteins.

A

DNA

33
Q

TRUE OR FALSE:

The presence of DNA in every living organisms explains the unity of life.

A

TRUE

34
Q

This dimension follows the a path known as “The Hierarchical Level of Biological Organization”

A

Organization of Life in Vertical Dimension.

35
Q

What dimension spreads its scope in terms of size scale. For instance, the microscopic view of the DNA in our cells to the microscopic view of the living sphere of the Earth, biosphere.

A

Vertical Dimension

36
Q

This dimension is inspired by Taxonomy and Systematic Biology.

A

Organizational Life in Horizontal Dimension
