10 Questions
What are the main characteristics of living organisms according to the text?
Made of cells, Require energy (food), Reproduce (species), Maintain homeostasis, Organized, Respond to environment, Grow and develop, Exchange materials with surroundings (water, wastes, gases)
Explain the concept of homeostasis.
Homeostasis is the ability of living organisms to maintain internal stability by adjusting to the changing external environment.
What is the significance of stem cells and their applications?
Stem cells have the unique ability to develop into different cell types in the body, making them valuable for regenerative medicine, research, and potential treatments for various diseases.
What is the main difference between embryonic stem cell research and adult stem cell research?
Embryonic stem cell research is more promising.
Explain how genetic algorithms simulate the process of natural selection in solving problems.
Genetic algorithms simulate 'survival of the fittest' among individuals of consecutive generations.
What analogy are genetic algorithms based on, and how does it relate to the process of solving problems?
Genetic algorithms are based on an analogy with the genetic structure and behavior of chromosomes in a population.
What is the basic unit of life according to Cell Theory?
Cells
Describe the function of the mitochondria in a cell.
Mitochondria are the 'Powerhouse' of the cell responsible for generating cellular energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.
Where is the DNA located in prokaryotic cells?
In the nucleoid region.
What is the function of the nucleus in a cell?
The nucleus controls the normal activities of the cell and contains the DNA in chromosomes.
