Levels of Biology Organization
The smallest unit of life
What are cells?
What is excretion?
The two terms used to name a specific species
What is genus and species?
Traits that be put in distinct qualitative categories
What is discrete variation?
The 6 aspects of data shown on a Box & Whisker Plot
What are outliers, minimum value, Q1, Median, Q3, and max value?
True or False: Tissues are larger than organs
What is False?
Catabolic and anabolic processes
What are examples of metabolism/metabolic processes?
The genus Vulpes vulpes belong to
What is Vulpes?
What most biological variations are
What is continuous variation?
The purpose of Box & Whisker plots
What is to quickly show variation and skewness of a data set?
The correct order of the biological hierarchy starting with cells ending with biosphere.
What is: Cells --> Tissue --> Organ --> Organ System --> Organism --> Population --> Community --> Ecosystem --> Biome --> Biosphere
The difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs
What is:
-autotrophs use sun energy to convert inorganic matter into organic matter
-heterotrophs obtain energy from other organisms?
A benefit to binomial nomenclature
What is:
-globally communicate with scientists
-predict characteristics
-predict evolutionary history?
Variation between species
What is interspecies variation?
Q3 minus Q1
What is:
-IQR
-what IQR equals?
An example of emergent properties.
Responses may vary
Our ears ring when we hear a loud noise.
What is an example of responding to stimuli?
Living things that is recognizably distinct from all others by their shared characteristics
What are species?
The main cause of intraspecies variation
What is genetic inheritance?
What outliers to do data
What is
-skew data (from a normal distribution curve)
-cause irregularities in data trends
________________ don't contain all the levels within the biological hierarchy.
What are unicellular organisms?
How Paramecium and Chlamydomonas can make their offspring
What is asexual AND sexual reproduction?
All the rules for using binomial nomenclature
What are:
-Genus name begins with a capital letter
-Species names begins with a lowercase latter
-printed in italics (underlined if written)
-Genus name can be abbreviated to the 1st letter after full name used once
The importance of variation
What is:
1. Maintain biodiversity/Maintain rich ecosystems
2. Sustain populations from changing environments\
3. Continue evolution
How to find outliers above the third quartile
What is add Q3 to (1.5 x IQR); if the value is above this number is it an outlier?
