2. What are the four criteria for life? | 1. All life forms contain deoxyribonucleic acid, which is called DNA.2. All life forms have a method by which they extract energy from the surroundings and convert itinto energy that sustains them.3. All life forms can sense changes in their surroun |
3. An organism is classified as a carnivore. Is it a heterotroph or an autotroph? Is it a producer,consumer, or decomposer?412 | heterotrophs,consumers. |
4. An organism has receptors on tentacles that come out of its head. If those tentacles were cut off inan accident, what life function would be most hampered? | Thus, sensing changes in the surroundings and responding to those changes will be hardfor this wounded creature. |
5. A parent and two offspring are studied. Although there are many similarities between the parentand the offspring, there are also some differences. Do these organisms reproduce sexually orasexually?mswo | These organisms reproduce sexually. |
6. What is wrong with the following statement?“Science has proven that energy must always be conserved.”n/x-ms | Science cannot prove anything |
7. Briefly explain the scientific method. | In the scientific method, a person starts by making observations. The person then develops ahypothesis to explain those observations or to answer a question. The person (often with the help ofothers) then designs experiments to test the hypothesis. Af |
8. Why does the story of spontaneous generation illustrate the limitations of science? | |
9. Where does the wise person place his or her faith: science or the Bible? | |
10. Why is the theory of abiogenesis just another example of the idea of spontaneous generation? | |
11. Name the classification groups in our hierarchical classification scheme in order. | |

9. Where does the wise person place his or her faith: science or the Bible? | The wise person trusts the Bible |
10. Why is the theory of abiogenesis just another example of the idea of spontaneous generation? | |
11. Name the classification groups in our hierarchical classification scheme in order. | Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species |
12. An organism is a multicellular consumer made of eukaryotic cells. To what kingdom does it belong? | |
14. An organism is a single-celled consumer made of prokaryotic cells. To what kingdom does it belong? | Monera |
15. If we were using the three-domain system of classification, could you determine the domain of the organism in question #14? If so, give the domain. If not, give the possible domains in which it couldbe placed. | You cannot tell which domain without knowing more about the organism. However, it is either in Archaea or Bacteria, depending on its characteristics. |
16. Use the biological key in the appendix to classify the organisms pictured below:a. Owl b. Fly | a. kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Avesb. kingdom Animalia, phylum Arthropoda, class Insectata, order Dipterata |
