10 Questions
What unifying theme in biology explains the unity and diversity of life?
Evolution
What do biologists use to make observations, pose questions, and form conclusions?
Scientific method
What is the fundamental unit that all organisms are made up of?
Cells
What is the approximate age of life on Earth?
3.7 billion years
What allows organisms to move, grow, and reproduce?
Energy processing
Biologists study life at multiple levels of organization, from the molecular biology of a cell to the anatomy and physiology of plants and animals, and evolution of populations.
True
Prokaryotic organisms include protists, fungi, plants, and animals.
False
All organisms are unable to regulate their own internal environments.
False
Energy processing is not important to life as it does not allow organisms to move, grow, and reproduce.
False
Biologists do not use the scientific method to make observations, pose questions, generate hypotheses, perform experiments, and form conclusions about the world around them.
False
Study Notes
Biology Fundamentals
- The unifying theme in biology explains the unity and diversity of life.
Scientific Method
- Biologists use the scientific method to make observations, pose questions, generate hypotheses, perform experiments, and form conclusions.
Levels of Organization
- Biologists study life at multiple levels of organization, from molecular biology of a cell to anatomy and physiology of plants and animals, and evolution of populations.
Cellular Structure
- The fundamental unit that all organisms are made up of is the cell.
Age of Life on Earth
- The approximate age of life on Earth is around 3.5 billion years.
Cellular Functions
- Energy processing allows organisms to move, grow, and reproduce.
Diversity of Organisms
- Prokaryotic organisms include protists, fungi, plants, and animals.
Homeostasis
- Organisms are able to regulate their own internal environments.
Note: I corrected the statement "All organisms are unable to regulate their own internal environments" as it is incorrect. Organisms have the ability to regulate their internal environment, which is known as homeostasis.
