5 Questions
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
All organisms are not made up of cells that process hereditary information encoded in genes, which can be transmitted to future generations.
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
Life on Earth emerged more than 3.7 billion years ago.
True
Biologists have not sought to study and classify the various forms of life, from prokaryotic organisms such as archaea and bacteria to eukaryotic organisms such as protists, fungi, plants, and animals.
False
Study Notes
Levels of Organization in Biology
- Biologists study life at multiple levels, ranging from molecular biology to anatomy and physiology of organisms and evolution of populations.
Characteristics of Organisms
- All organisms are composed of cells that process hereditary information encoded in genes, which can be transmitted to future generations.
The Scientific Method in Biology
- Biologists use the scientific method to make observations, pose questions, generate hypotheses, perform experiments, and form conclusions about the world around them.
Origin of Life on Earth
- Life on Earth emerged more than 3.7 billion years ago.
Classification of Life Forms
- Biologists have sought to study and classify the various forms of life, including prokaryotic organisms (archaea and bacteria) and eukaryotic organisms (protists, fungi, plants, and animals).
