BIO 316 Exam 1; Questions and Answers 100%
Correct
Physiology Correct answer-The branch of biology that deals with the functions of living
organisms and their parts
natural selection Correct answer-Organismal function has been shaped by _________ in
different environments.
Darwin's 4 postulates of natural selection Correct answer-1. Phenotypes vary within
populations
2. Some of this variation is passed on to offspring
3. In every generation, more offspring are produced than can survive
4. Some individuals survive and reproduce more effectively that others, and this success is
associated with their phenotypes
predict Correct answer-Evolutionary reasoning allows us to ________ physiology based
on knowledge about local environments, not just
catalogue it across organisms and environments.
Intergrative Correct answer-Physiology affects and/or responds to all levels of biological
organization; Physiology is an inherently ________ discipline.
Mechanisms and Origins Correct answer-What are the 2 broad types of questions in
animal physiology about?
,BIO 316 Exam 1; Questions and Answers 100%
Correct
What is the mechanism by which a function is accomplished? Correct answer-State the
question on mechanisms.
proximate causation Correct answer-What is the question about mechanisms about?
How did that mechanism come to be? Correct answer-State the question on origins.
ultimate causation Correct answer-What is the question about origins about?
Mechanism Correct answer-Interactions between the components of living animals that
enable these animals to perform and function as they do.
Mechanism Correct answer-The field of physiology is most clearly differentiated from
other fields (e.g. ecology, animal behavior) by this focus on _______.
Evolution Correct answer-Questions about the origin of a physiological function are
fundamentally about the ________ of that function and its broader ecological and adaptive
significance
, BIO 316 Exam 1; Questions and Answers 100%
Correct
Inference Correct answer-Answers to questions about origin are usually understood with
less certainty than questions about mechanism, because they often rely on indirect forms of
_______.
Adaptations Correct answer-Physiological mechanisms are almost always _________—
traits that have arisen as a result of natural selection.
Animal Physiology Correct answer-________ is an inherently integrative field of study
that asks questions about the origin of, and mechanisms underlying, animal function.
Evolutionary Correct answer-The field of animal physiology is based heavily in _______
biology, and specifically, the ways in which physiological features have arisen via natural
selection.
Predict Correct answer-Evolutionary theory allows us to ______ what physiological
functions a given species might have, and it gives us a basis for making hypotheses.
Continuous; dynamic Correct answer-The atoms of animal bodies undergo ________ and
_______ exchange with the atoms of their environments
organization Correct answer-In animals, it is the general ________ of these atoms that
persists through time, rather than the individual atoms themselves
