Tаrget Audience Whо is the writer mаinly trying tо reаch? Be specific (nоt just "athletes" or “everyone” or “general”). How do you know this is the target audience? Writing Reminder Write 2-4 complete sentences in your own words Provide one piece of evidence that supports your answer (this doesn't have to be a quote)

BSC 1011C — Generаl Biоlоgy IICоmprehensive Finаl ExаminationModules 1–13 | 100 points | Closed-book Answer all ten questions using complete sentences. Explain the biological ideas in your own words and address each part. One short paragraph or a few numbered sentences is usually sufficient for each question. The Origin of Life — 10 points Explain how conditions on early Earth could have helped organic molecules form through nonliving chemical processes. Describe why membranes and molecules capable of copying themselves were important in the development of early cells. Why would finding organic molecules alone be insufficient evidence that life was present? Evolution by Natural Selection — 10 points An insect population contains inherited variation in resistance to a pesticide. After the pesticide is applied, resistant insects are more likely to survive and reproduce. Explain why resistance could become more common over several generations. Include the roles of inherited variation and reproductive success. Explain how this process differs from genetic drift. Evolutionary Relationships — 10 points Birds and bats both have wings. Explain why the ability to fly, by itself, does not demonstrate that birds and bats are each other’s closest relatives. Distinguish homologous traits from analogous traits. Describe one additional type of evidence scientists could use to investigate evolutionary relationships. Scientific Method and Experimental Design — 10 points You want to investigate whether salt concentration affects seed germination. State a testable hypothesis and identify the independent and dependent variables. Describe an appropriate control group and one condition you would keep constant. Explain why using several independent containers for each treatment would strengthen the experiment. Bacteria, Archaea, and Viruses — 10 points Describe one structural or biochemical difference between Bacteria and Archaea. Explain why viruses need host cells to reproduce. Why do antibiotics that target bacterial structures or processes not directly treat viral infections? Algae, Fungi, and Ecosystem Function — 10 points Compare how a photosynthetic alga and a decomposer fungus obtain carbon and energy. Explain one ecological role of each organism. Then describe how a fungus and a photosynthetic partner can live together in a lichen, including what each partner contributes. Major Plant Groups — 10 points Compare a moss, a fern, and a flowering plant in terms of whether they have vascular tissue and whether they produce seeds. Explain how pollen allows seed plants to reproduce without sperm swimming through external water. Describe one advantage that a seed provides for the developing embryo. Invertebrate Diversity — 10 points A jellyfish and a crab live in the same coastal ecosystem. Identify the phylum to which each animal belongs and compare their body symmetry. Describe one body structure in each animal and explain how it supports movement, feeding, or protection. Chordates and Homeostasis — 10 points Humans are chordates and must maintain suitable internal conditions for their cells to function. Name two chordate characteristics found at some stage of human development. Explain what homeostasis means. Use sweating in response to increased body temperature to explain how negative feedback works. Ecological Interactions and Conservation — 10 points In a coastal ecosystem, sea otters eat sea urchins, and sea urchins feed on kelp. Researchers observe fewer sea otters, more sea urchins, and less kelp. Explain how the decline in sea otters could indirectly affect kelp abundance. Distinguish a population from a community using organisms in this example. Then propose one conservation action that could help protect the kelp ecosystem and explain its expected biological effect. Grading Rubric Each question is worth 10 points, for a total of 100 points. Biological accuracy — 4 points: Biological concepts and terminology are correct. Application and connections — 3 points: The response connects relevant ideas and applies them to the question. Explanation and reasoning — 2 points: The response explains how or why, rather than only stating an answer. Clarity and completeness — 1 point: The response is understandable, addresses each part, and uses the student’s own words.
