1) Discuss how the unifying themes in biology, cell theory, and evolution are connected. 2) Distinguish between living and nonliving things by describing the features that characterize living organisms.

3) Compare and contrast the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers in the ecosystem. How does this relate to the

hierarchical level of organization we see in biology?

Which statements describe resources? one of the factors people use when deciding where they will live is the availability of resources. renewable resources have little value for people. resources are unevenly distributed throughout the world. energy is the world resource which has the highest use. the use of nonrenewable resources has decreased in recent history. the use of resources is evenly distributed throughout the world. the world's oil supply will last for the next forty years if its use continues as expected.

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?
