Bio 200 Review Sheet for Mid-TermUnit 1: Biology the Science of Life1. The study of living and once living things is known as ________________.

biology

2. Starting with cell and ending with biosphere, list and define the levels of organization of life.i. Cell: orderly and structured living units that are capable of carrying out specific processes; the

basic building block of life

ii. Tissue = group of similar cells working together to carry out a specific function

iii. Organ = groups of tissues working together to carry out a specific function

iv. Organ (body) system = organs working together to carry out a specific function

v. Organism= complete living thing carrying out all life processes/having all 7 characteristics of life; Organisms have 1 or more cells

vi. Population = all of the same type of organisms living in the same area

vii. Community – all of the biotic factors (organisms of different species) living in the same location – interacting and depending on one another.

viii. Ecosystem - all the organisms living in a particular area, as well as all the abiotic (nonliving) components with which the organisms interact, such as air, soil, water, and sunlight

ix. Biosphere = the portion of earth that supports life (all living things on earth)

3. What are the 7 characteristics of life? Give at least one example of each. (Any order is fine.) RAREHOGa. Living things respond to stimuli: react to changes in their internal or external environment (ex. plant

bends toward the light, you flinch when someone drops a book, etc.)

b. Living things (as individuals) have adaptations & (as populations & species) evolve: (ex. adaptations camouflage of pepper moth; evolution over time average color of pepper moth population shifted b/c those w/ beneficial adaptations survived better, reproduced, & passed on their genes)

c. Living things reproduce: have babies & pass on genetic material & “Like produces like” (ex. fish have baby fish, turtles have baby turtles, etc.) also (Biogenesis theory = “life produces life”)

d. Living things need energy: energy is obtained from cellular respiration (ex. we eat to get energy so we can carry out life processes, plants make their own food so they can carry out life processes)

e. Living things maintain homeostasis: maintain a stable/constant internal environment (ex. stable body temperature of 98.6°F in humans… shiver to warm up, sweat to cool down…. If CO2 level gets too high in your blood, you breathe faster to get rid of more CO2 & lower it to a normal level).

f. Organization : Living things are organized (ex. cell make tissues which make organs, etc.)

g. Living things are grow & develop: grow = get bigger (add more material/gain weight) develop = change in form (ex. butterfly or frog life cycle, you as a fetus baby child teenager adult)

4. Organisms that make their own food are called ___________. Examples are… Autotrophs (producers) ex. plants, algae, cyanobacteria

5. What processes do autotrophs use to make their own food? Where do they get the energy for this process? Photosynthesis for plants, algae, cyanobacteria (or chemosynthesis for organisms like bacteria @

hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor) energy is from the sun

6. Which process releases the energy in the bonds of glucose (as ATP) that (both autotrophic and heterotrophic) organisms use for life processes?

cellular respiration

7. Organisms that cannot make their food and have to eat other organisms are called ______. Examples are…Heterotrophs (consumers) ex. people, fish, dogs, insects, fungi, bacteria, etc.

8. _____________ can only be transferred and transformed (or stored and released). (Not recycled!)energy

84. Which stages of the cell cycle make up the four parts of mitosis?a. _________prophase_____________________b. _________metaphase____________________c. _________anaphase_____________________d. _________telophase_____________________

85. Draw (in order) what each phase of cell division (from # 83) looks like and write a description of what happens at each stage.

Interphase: The normal "resting" phase of the cell BEFORE mitosis. The cell is carrying out its life functions. Each chromosome replicates producing a second set.

Prophase: The 1st stage of mitosis where the nucleoli breaks down and the chromatin shortens and thickens into double-stranded chromosomes, which are clearly visible. The nucleoli and the nuclear membrane disintegrate.

Metaphase: The 2nd stage of mitosis in which chromosomes gather at the middle (equator) of the spindle and become aligned.

Anaphase: The 3rd stage of mitosis where the two sister chromatids separate and are pulled apart to opposite poles, and

only one set of chromosomes is seen at each end of the cell.

Telophase: The 4th stage of mitosis during which two cells begin to form from one and the nucleoli and the nuclear membrane reappear.

Cytokinesis: AFTER mitosis is completed, the rest of the cell (cytoplasm and organelles) divide up to form two different cells.

86. What are two reasons that cells divide by mitosis?growth, repair, replacement

87. In which type of cells does mitosis occur?body (somatic) cells (ex. toes, skin, bone, etc.)

88. In which type of cells does meiosis occur?certain (germ) cells of reproductive organs (ex. ovaries & testes)

89. There are _____ divisions during meiosis.two

90. Sketch & describe what is happening at during interphase, at each stage of meiosis, and after the completion of meiosis.

A. Interphase (Before Meiosis)• DNA replicates forming duplicate chromosomes

– cell is diploid (2n)• chromosomes are double-stranded

homologous chromosomes join ( synapsis ) forming tetrads (tetrad = 4 chromatids)

Genes may swap = crossing over

Cell membrane pinches in, nuclear membrane reforms, chromosome number reduced to 1/2 (haploid) for first time

91. What is fertilization?the fusion of sperm & eggs to form a zygote

92. Why do sperm and eggs need to be haploid (have 1/2 the # of chromosomes are somatic/body cells)?If not, offspring would have 2x as many chromosomes…. So sperm must have ½ & egg must have ½ so that fertilization restores the diploid # in the newly formed zygote

sister
