Lesson 1 intro

Question 1

define biology

Answer 1

study of life

Question 2

characteristics of life

Answer 2

responds to enviroment, made of cells, reproduce, evolve

Question 3

define cells

Answer 3

membrane bound compartment in which complex chemical reactions occur and are regulated. can regulate its enviroment through balance of homeostasis

Question 4

definition of homeostasis

Answer 4

any self-regulating process by which an organism tends to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are best for its survival

Question 5

definition of homeostasis

Answer 5

any self-regulating process by which an organism tends to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are best for its survival

Question 6

define reproduce

Answer 6

vertical transformation of information (genetics/heredity)

Question 7

what are the three domains of life?

Answer 7

archea, bacteria, eukerya

Question 8

define archaea

Answer 8

“ancient” bacteria, tend to be extremophiles

Question 9

name 4 lineages of eukerya

Answer 9

plantia, animilia, fungi, and protists

Question 10

characteristics of plantia

Answer 10

multicellular, autotrophs, contain cell wall

Question 11

characteristics of animalia

Answer 11

multicellular, heterotrophs, lack cell wall

Question 12

define fungi

Answer 12

multicellular(except yeast), heterotrophic, cell wall of chitin

Question 13

define protists

Answer 13

eukaryotic organisms that arent plants, animals, or fungi. basically everything else

Question 14

define autotrophs

Answer 14

use inorganic energy to make organic molecules(ie. create its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals)

Question 15

define hetertrophs

Answer 15

organism that can’t produce its own food. Instead, they get their nutrition from other sources of organic carbon, like plants or animals

Question 16

difference between inorganic and organic?

Answer 16

Organic compounds are derived from or produced by living organisms and have carbon-hydrogen covalent bonds. Inorganic compounds are derived from nonliving components, and generally have ionic bonds, lack carbon-hydrogen bonds, and rarely, if ever, contain any carbon atoms.
