Quiz #5 Mr. Betancourt

Question 1

What does the cell theory state?

Answer 1

1. all living things are made of 1 or more cells (structure)

Answer 2

Robert Hooke
Aton van Leeuwenhoek
Rudolph Vircow
M. scheilden
t. schwann

Question 3

how did the scientists contribute to the cell theory?

Answer 3

→ R.Hooke - observed the walls of dead plant cells (cork) and named the cell
→ A.van Leeuwenhoek - observed living cells moving in a drop of water
→ M.Schleiden - stated that all living plants are made of living cells
→ T.Schwann - stated that all living animals are made of living cells
→ R.Virchow - stated that cells come from pre-existing living cells of same kind

WATER (H2O), SALT (NaCl)

& CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2

Question 13

amino acids

Answer 13

smaller molecules that make proteins

Question 14

what are the 5 basic needs

Answer 14

TOWELS, proper temperature, oxygen, water, energy, and a living space

Question 15

proper

Temperature =

Answer 15

an optimal range of temperature that allows living cells & organisms to function, find food, and reproduce.

Question 16

homeostasis

Answer 16

process that maintains a balanced internal condition)

Question 17

Oxygen =

Answer 17

…found in air with other gases and filtered out of water.

…used to release chemical energy stored in food.

Question 18

Water =

Answer 18

…used by plants to make food
…needed for chemical changes/reaction in cells
…use to transport substances
…inorganic compound essential for life

Question 19

Energy =

Answer 19

…from sunlight & used to make chemical energy that is stored in food needed to function.

Question 20

~ AUTOTROPHS (producers) =

Answer 20

use energy in sunlight to make food/nutrients (photosynthesis)

Question 21

~ HETEROTROPHS (consumers) =

Answer 21

get energy by eating other organisms (food)

Question 22

Living space

Answer 22

…habitat or environment that provides basic needs/resources (and sometimes shelter)
…limited and competed for

Question 23

what are the six characteristics of living things

Answer 23

➢HAVE ONE OR MORE CELLS
➢ USE ENERGY AND PRODUCE ORGANIC WASTE
➢ RESPOND TO STIMULI
➢ REPRODUCE OWN KIND
➢ GROW AND DEVELOP
➢ HAVE ADAPTATIONS

Question 24

HAVE ONE OR MORE CELLS

Answer 24

(organic structure) Cells = the basic units of structure and
function in living things (organisms)

Question 25

➢ USE ENERGY

Answer 25

from sunlight and food to function

Question 26

➢ RESPOND TO STIMULI

Answer 26

= behaviors - learned or “born with” (innate/instinct) (reaction/ response)

Question 27

➢ REPRODUCE OWN KIND

Answer 27

(species) ex. a cat produces a kitten that will eventually turn into a cat

Question 28

➢ GROW and DEVELOP

Answer 28

(increase in # of cells & size)(change/mature)

Question 29

biotic

Answer 29

living

Question 30

abiotic

Answer 30

non-living

Question 31

Spontaneous Generation

Answer 31

…living things (biotic) come from nonliving things (abiotic)

…disproved by Francesco Redi’s rotting meat & flies experiment

…if spontaneous generation was true, flies would be inside the sealed jars with the rotting meat

…disproved by Louis Pasteur’s boiled broth experiment

Question 32

Biogenesis

Answer 32

…living things (biotic) come from living things (biotic)

…living cells come from pre-existing living cells (Cell Theory)

…living flies arise from the same kind of living flies that lay eggs on the rotting meat by living flies

…microscopic organisms came from microscopic organisms living in air

Question 33

how did pasture and redi contribute to spotaneous geration and biogenesis

Answer 33

redi: HE SHOWED THAT LIVING MAGGOTS & FLIES DIDN’T COME FROM THE MEAT IN JARS BUT FROM LIVING FLIES THAT LAID EGGS ON THE NONLIVING MEAT IN THE JARS.
pasture: KEPT BOILED BROTH AWAY FROM DUST PARTICLES IN AIR. WHEN IN CONTACTED WITH AIR THE LIVING MICROORGANISMS IN THE AIR DUST GET INTO BROTH AND PRODUCED MORE LIVING MICROORGANISMS
both: DISPROVED SPONTANEOUS GENERATION AND SUPPORTED BIOGENESIS
