    What is cell? - ProProfs

    What is cell?

    • Life of organism

    • Second structure of organism

    • Where prisoners are kept

    • Basic unit of life

    Correct Answer
    A. Basic unit of life
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Basic unit of life." A cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism. It is capable of carrying out all the processes necessary for life, such as metabolism, reproduction, and responding to stimuli. Cells can exist as single-celled organisms or as part of a multicellular organism, where they work together to perform specific functions. Cells are composed of various organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and ribosomes, which carry out specific tasks within the cell.

    What is heomostatis? - ProProfs

    What is heomostatis?

    • Maintaining a cool environment

    • Maintaining a hot environment

    • Maintaining a stable and vital condition

    • Non of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Maintaining a stable and vital condition
    Explanation
    Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain a stable and vital condition. It involves various physiological processes that help regulate internal variables such as body temperature, blood pressure, pH levels, and glucose levels within a narrow range. This balance is crucial for the body to function optimally and ensure that cells, tissues, and organs can carry out their respective functions effectively. Homeostasis allows the body to adapt to changes in the external environment and maintain internal equilibrium, promoting overall health and well-being.

    What is evolution? - ProProfs

    What is evolution?

    • Study of economics

    • Study of socialism

    • An engine propelling creation and extinction of species

    • An engine propelling towards financial stability

    Correct Answer
    A. An engine propelling creation and extinction of species
    Explanation
    Evolution refers to the process of gradual development and change in living organisms over time. It involves the creation of new species through genetic variations and natural selection, as well as the extinction of existing species that are unable to adapt to their changing environment. This answer accurately describes evolution as an engine that drives both the creation and extinction of species, highlighting the dynamic nature of the evolutionary process.

  • 6. 
    What is gene? - ProProfs

    What is gene?

    • A drink of life

    • Basic unit of life

    • Basic unit of neurones

    • Basic unit of hereditary

    Correct Answer
    A. Basic unit of hereditary
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Basic unit of hereditary." A gene is a segment of DNA that contains the instructions for building and maintaining an organism. It is the basic unit of hereditary because genes are passed down from parents to offspring and determine the traits and characteristics of an individual. Genes play a crucial role in the transmission of genetic information and are responsible for the inheritance of traits such as eye color, height, and susceptibility to certain diseases.

    What is the meaning of logia? - ProProfs

    What is the meaning of logia?

    • Life

    • Earth

    • Study

    • Air

    Correct Answer
    A. Study
    Explanation
    Logia refers to the study of a particular subject or field. It is derived from the Greek word "logos" which means "study" or "discourse". Therefore, the correct answer for the meaning of logia is study.

    Which of the following is an open system? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is an open system?

    • A living organism

    • A non living organism

    • Fossils

    • Non-fossils

    Correct Answer
    A. A living organism
    Explanation
    A living organism is considered an open system because it interacts with its environment, exchanging matter and energy with it. It takes in nutrients and oxygen, releases waste products, and maintains a constant internal environment through various physiological processes. This constant exchange with the environment allows living organisms to adapt and respond to changes in their surroundings, making them open systems. Non-living organisms, fossils, and non-fossils do not have the same level of interaction and exchange with their environment, thus they are not considered open systems.

    Who said the word"biologi" first? - ProProfs

    Who said the word"biologi" first?

    • Mark zukerburg

    • Charles darwin

    • Isaac Newton

    • Carl Linnaeus

    Correct Answer
    A. Carl Linnaeus
    Explanation
    Carl Linnaeus is credited with coining the word "biologi" (biology) in the modern sense. Linnaeus was a Swedish botanist and zoologist who developed the binomial nomenclature system for naming species. He is widely regarded as the father of modern taxonomy and made significant contributions to the field of biology. Therefore, it is logical to attribute the first use of the word "biologi" to Carl Linnaeus.

    Which of the following is a subdiscipline of biology - ProProfs

    Which of the following is a subdiscipline of biology

    • Analytical biology

    • Earth biology

    • Electrical biology

    • Theoretical biology

    Correct Answer
    A. Theoretical biology
    Explanation
    Theoretical biology is a subdiscipline of biology that focuses on the development and use of mathematical and computational models to understand biological systems. It involves the application of theoretical frameworks and principles to study biological phenomena, such as evolution, population dynamics, and ecological interactions. Theoretical biologists use mathematical equations, computer simulations, and statistical analyses to make predictions and gain insights into complex biological processes. This subdiscipline plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of biological systems and has applications in various fields, including medicine, ecology, and genetics.
