Questions and Answers

What is the definition of biology?

  • The study of energy transfer in living systems
  • The scientific study of life or living things (correct)
  • The study of structures and processes in non-living things
  • The study of chemical reactions in living organisms

    • How do biologists study living things?

  • By conducting surveys and interviews with living organisms
  • By relying solely on theoretical models and simulations
  • By observing living things without any systematic approach
  • By using a scientific method involving asking questions, suggesting possible answers, and testing through experimentation (correct)

    • What are the common characteristics shared by living systems?

  • Composed of one or more cells, ability to grow and reproduce, transmission of genetic information, need for energy, maintenance of internal conditions, and capability for evolutionary adaptation (correct)
  • Composed of identical cells, ability to reproduce asexually, transmission of acquired traits only, no need for external energy sources, and inability to adapt to environmental changes
  • Composed of complex cells only, ability to grow exponentially, transmission of acquired traits, need for constant external conditions, and capability for rapid evolution
  • Composed of non-cellular structures, ability to produce energy from sunlight, transmission of acquired traits to offspring, need for constant external conditions, and capability for rapid change
