Biology Basics Quiz

Biology Fundamentals

• The unity and diversity of life can be explained by the concept of evolution, which suggests that all living organisms share a common ancestor and have evolved over time through the process of natural selection.

Scientific Method in Biology

• Biologists use the scientific method, which involves making observations, asking questions, forming hypotheses, and testing these hypotheses through experimentation and data analysis.

Structure of Organisms

• The fundamental unit that all living organisms are made up of is the cell, which is the basic structural and functional unit of life.

Characteristics of Organisms

• Prokaryotic organisms, such as bacteria, lack a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, whereas eukaryotic organisms, such as plants and animals, have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
• A virus is not a eukaryotic organism, as it is not a cellular organism and relies on host cells for replication.

Biological Processes

• Metabolism is the process that allows organisms to move, grow, and reproduce, and it involves the conversion of energy and nutrients into the components that make up living organisms.
