10 Questions
What are the unifying themes in the field of biology?
Cells, hereditary information, evolution, energy processing, and regulation of internal environments
What is the importance of energy processing to life?
It allows organisms to move, grow, and reproduce.
How do 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.
What method do biologists use to make observations, pose questions, and form conclusions?
The scientific method
What are the various forms of life that biologists seek to study and classify?
Prokaryotic organisms such as archaea and bacteria, and eukaryotic organisms such as protists, fungi, plants, and animals.
What is the primary difference between solid-state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs)?
SSDs lack physical spinning disks and movable read-write heads used in HDDs.
What is the function of the semiconductor cells in SSDs?
Semiconductor cells in SSDs store data persistently.
What is the significance of the number of bits stored in each cell of an SSD?
The number of bits stored in each cell affects the reliability, durability, speed, and cost of the SSD.
How does the internal parallelism of SSDs contribute to data processing?
SSDs have rich internal parallelism for data processing.
What are the advantages of using SSDs over hard disk drives (HDDs)?
SSDs are typically more resistant to physical shock, run silently, and have higher input/output rates and lower latency.
