Diversity Q1

Question 1

unicellular

Answer 1

made up of one cell, no tissues

Question 2

heterotrophic

Answer 2

cannot produce its own energy, ingests other living things to produce energy

Question 3

aerobic respiration

Answer 3

when energy is produced by breaking down sugar, w/ oxygen

Question 4

sexual reproduction

Answer 4

reproduction with male and female gametes in a process called fertilization

Question 5

multicellular

Answer 5

made up of many cells, has tissues

Question 6

autotrophic

Answer 6

able to produce its own energy from the suns light energy

Question 7

anaerobic respiration

Answer 7

energy is produced by breaking down sugars, happens w/o oxygen

Question 8

asexual reproduction

Answer 8

reproduction by mitosis or binary fission

Question 9

genetic diversity

Answer 9

genetic variety within a particular species

Question 10

species diversity

Answer 10

variety and abundance of species in a given area

Question 11

ecosystem diversity

Answer 11

variety of ecosystems in the biosphere

Question 12

more diversity

Answer 12

healtheir environment

Question 13

ecosystem services

Answer 13

benefits provided from sustainable ecosystems (e.g. water supply, food production)

Question 14

greater species diversity means that the ecosystem is more resilient to disturbances such as:

Answer 14

non native species invasion, disease, changes in abiotic factor concentrations

Question 15

anatomical evidence

Answer 15

study of structure and form of organisms to determine evolutionary relationships between speces

Question 16

physiological evidence

Answer 16

physical and chemical functions of an organism (biochemistry and internal processes), prov. ex.

Question 17

dna evidence

Answer 17

conductin genetic analysis, dna can be used to compare relationships b/w species, provide ex.

Question 18

Carolus Linnaeus

Answer 18

father of taxonomy contributed a hierarchical classification system

Question 19

taxons (largest –> smallest)

Answer 19

kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species

Question 20

taxons used for binomial nomenclature

Answer 20

genus + species

Question 21

7 fundamental characteristics of life

Answer 21

metabolism, offspring, response, growth, homeostasis, excretion, nutrition

Question 22

virus

Answer 22

pathogens that are not considered “alive” since they cannot live outside of cells

Question 23

not classified as a kingdom of life and not considered living organisms because

Answer 23

• cant reproduce on their own and is dependent of internal physiology of cells
• not cellular, lack cytoplasm, organelles and cell membrane

Question 24

host

Answer 24

organism that carries the virus

Question 25

capsid

Answer 25

protein coat that surrounds the virus

Question 26

viral envelope

Answer 26

envelopes that virus and is obtained from the host cells membrane

Question 27

how viruses survive

Answer 27

parasite living cells from the proteins on envelope, works host cell to death

Question 28

reproduction cycle of viruses

Answer 28

(replication inside host cell) - attachment - entry - replication - assemble - release (membrane of cell bursts)

Question 29

lytic cycle

Answer 29

quickly perform the five stages of reprod. cycle kills the host cell in the process

Question 30

lysogenic cycle

Answer 30

enter and attach DNA into the host chromosome and lie dormant until reactivated

Question 31

transmission of viruses

Answer 31

direct contact, air, feces, animal bites

Question 32

vaccines

Answer 32

a dead or weakened form of the virus stimulates the body to recognize the viral coat and antigens to make antibodies

Question 33

pandemic

Answer 33

results when a new virus appears (that human population has no resistance or immunity against) --> many deaths
