What is the study of living organisms called?

The study of living organisms is called biology.

What is the smallest unit of life?

The smallest unit of life is the cell.

What is natural selection?

Natural selection is the process by which certain traits become more or less common in a population over time.

What is the process by which plants produce their own food?

The process by which plants produce their own food is called photosynthesis.

What is the role of DNA in inheritance?

DNA contains the genetic information that is passed down from parents to offspring, determining their physical and behavioral traits.

What is the process by which organisms convert food into energy?

The process by which organisms convert food into energy is called cellular respiration.

What are the three types of muscle tissue?

The three types of muscle tissue are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Mitosis is the process of cell division in which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells, while meiosis is the process of cell division in which a single cell divides into four genetically different daughter cells.

What is the function of the immune system?

The function of the immune system is to protect the body from pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells.

What is the role of enzymes in biochemical reactions?

Enzymes are biological catalysts that help to speed up biochemical reactions by lowering activation energy.

What is the difference between a eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell?

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.

What is the process by which genetic information is transferred from DNA to RNA?

The process by which genetic information is transferred from DNA to RNA is called transcription.

What is the function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll is a molecule that absorbs light in the photosynthesis process.

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen.

What is gene expression?

Gene expression is the process by which genetic information is used to direct the synthesis of a functional gene product.
