Before filling in your name and PeopleSoft-ID, please check that the color of your scantron sheet matches thecolor of your test. In column J of the scantron sheet blacken the circle corresponding to the color of yourexam: white = 1; blue = 2; pink = 3; yellow = 4. Proceed with the exam, choosing the best answer for eachof the following questions and blackening the proper circle on the answer sheet with a Number 2 pencil.Read each question carefully before marking the best answer on your scantron sheet.Work thoughtfully.Make educated guesses if necessary. Even wild guessing throughout should net you 20% of the total points,on the average.Foundations of Biology - IFoundations of Biology - IFinal EXAMINATIONPINKFall Term 2101- Dr. Laurel RobertsBIOSC 0150 CRN# 11790is common to (almost) all living organismsindicates the divergence of prokaryotes and eukaryotes is found in mammals but not birds or reptilesBoth A and B are trueAll of these are truea.b.c.d.e.1--XThe evolution of glycolysistranslocationphotorespirationgirdlingcation exchangeguttationa.b.c.d.e.2--XC4 and CAM plants share adaptations to solve the problems associated withsensory receptors in the fingersbrain cellsspinal nervesBoth A and CBoth B and Ca.b.c.d.e.3--XWhich of the following is part of the central nervous system?It is non-polarIt is cohesiveIt is adhesiveIt modulates temperatureAll of these are vital properties of watera.b.c.d.e.4--XWhy is water so important to life?
