Energy is the ability to

• move objects.

• become heated.

• transfer heat from one object to another.

• All of these are true.

Metabolism can be seen as the process of converting

• energy into matter.

• potential energy into kinetic energy.

• kinetic energy into potential energy.

• atoms into compounds.

• matter into potential energy.

The law of conservation of matter tells us that matter

• can never be reused.

• needs to be conserved or it will not be available for future generations.

• can be destroyed.

• can be conserved by some adaptive strategies.

• is used repeatedly.

The first law of thermodynamics and the law of conservation of matter are similar in that

• under normal circumstances neither energy nor matter is created nor destroyed.

• both energy and matter are recycled through biological systems.

• both energy and matter flow in a one-way path through biological systems.

• under normal circumstances energy and matter are destroyed as they pass through biological systems.

• The first law of thermodynamics and the law of conservation of matter are not similar.

What implication(s) does the second law of thermodynamics have for biological systems?

• Systems cannot create energy because energy is neither created nor destroyed.

• With each transformation, less available energy is available to do work so older systems have less energy.

• A constant supply of energy is necessary for maintenance of biological systems.

• Energy is unlimited because it is used and reused by living organisms.

• None of these is an implication of the second law of thermodynamics.

The process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are similar in that they both

• capture energy in the form of sugar.

• occur in all living organisms.

• temporarily store energy in chemical bonds.

• capture energy from the sun.

• none of these are correct.

The process of cellular respiration

• helps primary producers store energy accumulated by chloroplasts.

• releases energy from chemical bonds of molecules such as glucose.

• eliminates the need for enzymes in metabolism.

• does not occur in primary producers.

• does not occur in detritivores.

All members of a species that live in the same area at the same time make up a(an)

• species.

• ecosystem.

• community.

• population.

• biome.

A biological community consists of all

• populations living and interacting in an area.

• members of a species living in the same area.

• living things on Earth.

• populations of a given species.

• members of a species living in the same biome.
