Levels of Bio Organization
The smallest unit of life
What are cells?
The process of life that removes waste from metabolic processes.
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 common acronym used to remember the taxonomy levels
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 of taxonomy system
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?
True or False: More species are found within the Class taxa than the Genus taxa.
What is true?
The main cause of intraspecies variation
What is genetic inheritance?
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?
________________ 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?
The reason why taxonomy is considered outdated.
What is:
1. The first tool used to formally classify species
2. Taxonomist have only classified 1/4 of the known identified species
3. Doesn't use new technology --> DNA sequencings, molecules genetics?
The importance of variation
What is:
1. Maintain biodiversity/Maintain rich ecosystems
2. Sustain populations from changing environments\
3. Continue evolution
What outliers to do data
What is
-skew data (from a normal distribution curve)
-cause irregularities in data trends
