The
Study
of
Life
True/False
Indicate whether
the
statement
is
true
or
false.
1.
The
study
of
biology includes things that were once living
and
those alive today.
2. It is
important
to
study
the
genetic
makeup
of
other organisms
because
information
in
their
genetic
makeup
may
hold
information
about
our
own.
3.
An
amoeba
is
unicellular; therefore,
it is an
organism.
4. A
single entity
has
been discovered that shows many
of the
characteristics
of
living things including
growth,
organization,
and the
ability
to
maintain homeostasis. However, because
it
does
not
reproduce,
it is not
considered
a
living thing.
5.
Peer review allows others
in the field to
assess
a
scientist's investigations
and
results.
6.
After
observing
tadpoles swimming
in the
water,
you
could infer that
all
amphibians have
gills.
7.
Jake
has
hypothesized that
if you add
aspirin
to the
water when watering plants,
the
plants will have
more
blooms.
To
verify
his
hypothesis, Jake should
use the
same
of
amount
of
water
and
aspirin
for
each
of the
plants
in the
experimental group.
Multiple Choice
•tify
the
choice that best completes
the
statement
or
answers
the
question.
8.
Which
of the
following
are
likely
topics
in a
biology course?
a. Why
does
the
Texas horned lizard squirt blood
out of its
eyes?
b. How is a
banded pipefish able
to
hide
in its
environment
of
seaweeds?
c.
What chemicals cause plant stems
to
lengthen
or
flowers
to
bloom?
d.
All
of
these.
9.
Living things
do all of the
following except
a.
make adjustments
to
nonliving factors around them.
b.
maintain
a
steady internal environment.
c.
respond
to
other organisms.
d.
pass
an
identical
genetic
code
to
their
offspring
for
many
generations.
10.
Technology
has
allowed humans
to
produce more
food
and
reduce
the
chance
of
starvation. Which
of the
following
is the
most significant result
of
this technology?
a.
The
technology increased population growth, creating
the
need
for
additional
food.
b. The
technology caused salts
to be
deposited
in
soils.
c.
The
technology caused
the
false
belief that
the
problem
was
solved forever.
d.
All
of
these.

Because
it is
often
