Biology Unit 1 study guide

1. What is the primary characteristic of life that viruses do not meet? Viruses do not have organization
2. Give an example of an organism responding to the environment as opposed to an organism being adapted to the environment a dog going into the shade when it's warm
3. if the eye lens is 10 X magnification and the objective lens is 40 5X what is the total magnification 450
4. describe two important aspects of scientific drawings the scale of the drawing and labels
5. how was the control group different from the control variable the control variable you keep the same to everyone in the control group you don't touch from the very beginning on
6. what is the manipulated variable and the responding variable represented in the graph below the manipulated variable if the amount of water and the responding variable in the amount of height
7. what is a serial dilution
8. what makes duckweed a useful organism for bioassay duckweed grows very fast making it a useful organism for experiments
9. How do population and community differ the population is a whole and the community is a part like the population of the world is 20 billion and the community may have 10,000 people
10. Given example of a human tissue organ and organ system human tissue includes skin cells, organs include liver and kidneys, and organ system would be the nervous system or the skeletal system.
11. organisms that make their own food are known as   auto trophs
12. name the three domains Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya
13. which taxonomic level is broader order family order is broader than family
14. binomial nomenclature combines            and species
15. what is a phylogenetic tree is the tree of life
16. are the organisms on the tips of the branches older or younger species the tips of the trees contain the youngest species and get older the closer into the truck it gets
17. How is a biological key used is use organizing classify things and put them into families
18. where the two characteristics used to distinguish sharks from each other thin and gills
19. according to Darwin white is competition exist constituted exist to get rid of the weakest species so only the strong survive
20. briefly describe the aspect of Darwin's theory known as gradualism it means a slow and gradual change in order to survive
21. what does an ecological. Pyramid shows just like the food here made it shows what other animals live on the bottom of the peer amid is meditation the next one up will be flies that eat the vegetation the next peer amid up will be something that eats the flies and so on until you get the Tigers and big predators
22. name identity depended and density independent limiting factor
23. where are there more producers than consumers and the environment When the producer is eaten by the consumer, it is an exchange of energy. Ironically, 90% of the energy that the producer had is lost, and the consumer only receives 10% of it. Therefore, to get enough energy to survive, the consumer must eat more producers, meaning that, to sustain the consumers, there must me many more producers.
24. label
25. which organisms are primarily responsible for nitrogen fixation  bacteria is primarily responsible for nitrogen taxation
26. During photosynthesis plants take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere describe two ways a carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere plants use carbon and it makes up organic matter which is part of all life during photosynthesis plants and other producers transform carbon dioxide and release `into the atmosphere as they turned back into organic matter
27. Which  biome diverse and why the rain forest is the most diverse because of all the rain and sun receives with very little human interaction
28. Briefly describe the the chaparral is a plant that takes up 5% of the state of California and is very hardy
29. how do mutualism and commensalisms differ mutualism is when two organisms need each other and commensalisms is when an organism is not harmed when another one uses it sometimes they don't even notice
30. what is a niche niche is a term describing the way of life of a particular species each species is thought to have a separate unique niche ecologically and a place in the world.
