When the blood glucose level is low, the pancreas secretes glucagon and, as a result, the blood glucose level rises. Such regulation of the blood glucose level is the result of........

That would be negative feedback

The main source of energy for producers in an ecosystem is

It is obviously light energy

200

Which domains do not keep their deoxyribonucleic acid encased within a nucleus envelope? 

Perhaps Archaea and Bacteria? 

300

Localized group of organisms that belong to the same species is called 

population 

400

Branch of biology that is involved with the naming and classifying of organisms....

You should have learned this in second grade

taxonomy 

500

What doers natural selection require?  

It requires genetic variation

100

basic unit of structure and function in living organisms

I am concerned if you miss this

cell

200

maintaining a stable internal environment

homeostasis

What is the most inclusive level in life's hierarchy? 

biosphere 

400

enables an organism to better survive in its environment

evolutionary adaptation

500

What demonstrates unity among all organisms and is the basis for heredity 

DNA

numerical data such as 25 centimeters

quantitative data

300

descriptive data such as color or texture

qualitative data

By far the best teacher at KR

If you said anything besides Cordell, you will probably fail this course. 

500

Distinguish betweeen hypotheses and theories. 

while both are explanations for the natural world. Hypotheses are very narrow in scope and theories have very broad explanatory power. Multiple hypotheses contribute to a single theory.

You use your senses to make ______, such as the temperature is 78 degrees F.

observations; I suppose ill accept data for this question

200

Which types of organisms utilize photosynthesis for their energy demands?

I would say producers 

300

Both cellular respiration and photosynthesis are examples of which type of property of life? 

metabolism 

400

What is an ecosystem? 

Consists of all the living species in an particular area as well as the nonliving environment.

3. Metabolism 

4. Response to stimulus 

5. Heredity 

6. Growth and Development 

7. Reproduction 

8. Evolutionary Adaptation
