Final Jeopardy

2. 1 - $100 In science, what do we mean by the word theory?
An idea or hypothesis that is supported by evidence

3. 1 - $200 What are the characteristics of a scientific hypothesis?
Testable, falsifiable, measureable, reproducdible, objective

4. 1 - $300 What is batesian mimicry?
Harmless species looking like dangerous species in order to gain protection from predation

5. 1 - $400 What are the aspects of the cellular theory?
The cell is the simplest unit, it acquires and uses energy, it responds to the environment, regulates function, grows and develops, reproduces, and evolves

6. 1 - $500 What part of the cell theory do viruses coincide with?
Uses energy, responds to the environment, regulates function, grows and develops, reproduces (but only by hijacking host cell’s organelles)

7. 2 - $100
What does organic mean?
Contains carbon

8. 2 - $200 What are the five major steps to life on earth?
1. Cellular life
2. Oxygen revolution
3. Nucleated cells
4. Multicellularity
5. Cambrian explosion

9. 2 - $300
What are the oldest fossils?
Stromatolites

10. 2 - $400 Name the 4 limitations to the fossil record?
Habitat bias, taxonomic and tissue bias, temporal bias, abundance bias

11. 2 - $500 Define homoplasy and homology
Homoplasy  traits are similar but NO common ancestor
Homology  similar traits due to a common ancestor

12. 3 - $100
Do prokaryotes have a nucleus? NO

13. 3 - $200
What would you call an organism who gets its energy from inorganic molecules and carbon from CO2?
Chemolithoautotroph

14. 3 - $300 What four types of metabolism are exclusive to prokaryotes?

15. 3 - $400
How do prokaryotes reproduce?
Binary fission

16. 3 - $500
In this kind of genetic recombination, the genetic material in a cell is altered by the uptake of foreign DNA from the cell’s surroundings.
Transformation

17. 4 - $100 What are the three major features of eukaryotic cells?
1. Nucleus (linear chromosomes)
2. Membrane-bound organelles
3. Internal membrane systems

18. 4 - $200 What does the endosymbiont theory say?
First event  mitochondria are the descendants of aerobic heterotrophic bacteria (ancestor of all eukaryotes)
Second event  chloroplasts are the descendants of photosynthetic bacteria (ancestors of plants)

19. 4 - $300 What does it mean that protists are paraphyletic?
A group of organisms from a common ancestor, but not including all of the descendant groups

20. 4 - $400 What are the advantages of asexual reproduction?
Don’t need to find a partner

21. 4 - $500 What does the Red Queen Hypothesis state?
One must always change/evolve in order to stay ahead of predators and disease

22. 5 - $100
Are fungi more closely related to animals or plants?
Animals

23. 5 - $200 How do fungi obtain nutrients?
External digestion  they secrete digestive enzymes into their surroundings and absorb the resulting organic molecules
