A study guide or exam preparation material for an introductory biology course (bio 100) covering a wide range of topics, including the characteristics of living organisms, the scientific method, chemical principles, biological macromolecules, cell structure and function, and evolutionary theory. A series of multiple-choice questions with correct answers, as well as true/false statements, all of which are designed to help students prepare for an exam in this course. The level of detail and the comprehensive coverage of fundamental biological concepts suggest that this document could be a valuable resource for university-level students enrolled in an introductory biology course, particularly as a study guide or summary of key course material. The document could also be useful for high school students preparing for advanced placement (ap) or international baccalaureate (ib) biology exams, or for lifelong learners interested in reviewing basic biology concepts.

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of all living organisms? - Correct Answer- Multicellular "A change in gene frequencies in a population over time" defines this unifying biological theory: - Correct Answer-Evolutionary Theory All life must maintain some degree of internal constancy or equilibrium, more formally known as: - Correct Answer-Homeostasis Which of the following is NOT a step in the scientific method? - Correct Answer-All are steps of the scientific method Which is the biggest difference between scientific and non-scientific literature? - Correct Answer-Peer-review process The first step in the scientific method is: - Correct Answer-Make observations Energy is required by by all organisms and is utilized to: - Correct Answer-All of the above A pure substance that cannot be broken down into other substances is known as a(n)? - Correct Answer-Element The atomic number of an element is the number of ___ in the nucleus: - Correct Answer-Protons Solutions that accumulate hydrogen (H+) ions and exhibit a pH below 7.0 are known as:
This type of chemical bond is seen in salt (NaCl): it is strong, but breaks easily in water and occurs when electrons are donated from one atom to another. - Correct Answer- Ionic Which of the following functions does not describe a biological importance of water? - Correct Answer-All are biologically important Which of the following properties allows carbon to form large, complex molecules, making it so biologically important? - Correct Answer-Stable in wide range of temperatures Which of the following is NOT a biological macromolecule? - Correct Answer-Lysosome The primary function of this macromolecule is energy storage and structural support (i.e. cellulose/chitin): - Correct Answer-Carbohydrate Hydrophobic, nonpolar, energy-rich, and diverse describe which group of macromolecules? - Correct Answer-Lipid What is the primary functions of nucleic acids? - Correct Answer-Information Storage What are functions of proteins? - Correct Answer-All of the above Which of the following identifies the monomer of a protein? - Correct Answer-Amino Acid Which of the following identifies the monomer of carbohydrates? - Correct Answer- Monosaccharides Which of the following does not accurately describe phospholipid bilayers? - Correct Answer-Hydrophilic lipid tail The smallest unit of life that can function independently is a(n): - Correct Answer-Cell Which of the following is not one of the first three premises of Cell Theory proposed by Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow? - Correct Answer-Cells differ in basic chemical compositions You're looking at a cell that is very tiny (-1 um), lacks organelles, and notice that the DNA is free-floating within the cytoplasm. You are likely viewing what type of cell? - Correct Answer-Prokaryotic Cell The "Fluid Mosaic Model" refers to the composition of what structure on a cell? - Correct Answer-Membrane
This is responsible for maintaining cell shape, orchestrating organelle movement, and important in cellular division (hint it is composed by different types of fibers) - Correct Answer-Cytoskeleton Which filament present in cells is integral in cell division/chromosomal arrangement? - Correct Answer-Microtubules This organelle is responsible for protein and lipid synthesis and is divided into a rough and a smooth type: - Correct Answer-Endoplasmic Reticulum Which of the following organelles does not function in cellular digestion? - Correct Answer-Golgi Apparatus This organelle processes incoming vesicles, organizes them, and sends them to their next destination: - Correct Answer-Golgi Apparatus This organelle is only found in plants and is very important in turgor pressure; it also accounts for the extra 40% of volume that organelles encompass in a plant cell. It is also important in functioning in digestion. - Correct Answer-Vacuole All cells (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) have ribosomes, as they are essential in constructing: - Correct Answer-Proteins Which organelle, present in all eukaryotic cells, is essential in breaking down toxic substances and fatty acids? - Correct Answer-Peroxisome Which of the following organelles contains their own, unique DNA? - Correct Answer- Mitochondria This cellular region is generally though of as a watery solution, but is essential for chemical reactions. - Correct Answer-Cytosol/Cytoplasm (T/F) A theory is a tentative explanation for a narrow scope of observations. - Correct Answer-False (T/F) Domain-Kingdom-Class-Phylum-Family-Order-Genus-Species - Correct Answer- False (T/F) Evolution has resulted in diverse, yet unified, living world. - Correct Answer-True (T/F) Hydrophobic solutes are easily dissolved in water. - Correct Answer-False (T/F) Large biological molecules are formed through hydrolysis - Correct Answer-False (T/F) Cellulose is the most abundant polysaccharide on Earth and is largely indigestible.
(T/F) The rough E.R. is the site of protein synthesis. - Correct Answer-True (T/F) All cells contain ribosomes. - Correct Answer-True (T/F) All cells contain organelles. - Correct Answer-False (T/F) Both mitochondria and chloroplast provide energy for the cell. - Correct Answer- True (T/F) The Endosymbiotic Theory provides an explanation for the rise of eukaryotic cells.
