Biology Basics Quiz

Cell theory = All organisms are made up of cells that process hereditary information encoded in genes Evolution = Explains the unity and diversity of life Energy processing = Allows organisms to move, grow, and reproduce Homeostasis = All organisms are able to regulate their own internal environments

Molecular biology = Study of the biology of a cell at the molecular level Anatomy and physiology = Study of the structure and function of plants and animals Evolution of populations = Study of changes in gene frequencies in populations over time Prokaryotic organisms = Include archaea and bacteria, characterized by the absence of a nucleus

Observations = Initial data collection through sensory perception or measurement Hypotheses = Proposed explanations for a set of observations Experiments = Tests designed to support or falsify a hypothesis Conclusions = Inferences drawn from experimental results
