1) The pattern component of the cell theory claims that all organisms consist of cells.

• true
• false

Answer: A

Reference: Section 1.1

Bloom's Level: Remembering

LOs: Chp1-2. Describe the two components of the cell theory.

2) How does a scientific theory differ from a scientific hypothesis?

• There is no difference—the terms are interchangeable.
• A theory is an explanation for a very general phenomenon or observation; hypotheses treat

more specific observations.

• A hypothesis is an explanation for a very general phenomenon; theories treat more specific

issues.

• Theories define scientific laws; hypotheses are used to set up experiments.

Answer: B

Reference: Section 1.1

Bloom's Level: Comprehension

LOs: Chp1-2. Describe the two components of the cell theory.

3) Algae in the genus Caulerpa typically grow to a length of over half a meter and have structures similar to stems, leaves, and roots. Reproduction occurs when adults produce sperm and eggs that fuse to form offspring. Each adult Caulerpa, however, consists of just a single cell.Which of the following statements is true?

• Caulerpa violate the pattern component of the cell theory—that all organisms consist of cells.
• Caulerpa violate the process component of the cell theory—that all cells come from

preexisting cells.

• Caulerpa violate both the pattern and process components of the cell theory.
• The existence of Caulerpa is consistent with the cell theory.

Answer: D

Reference: Section 1.1

Bloom's Level: Comprehension

LOs: Chp1-2. Describe the two components of the cell theory.

4) Which statement about spontaneous generation is FALSE?

• Pasteur demonstrated that it does not occur under normal laboratory conditions.
• It apparently occurred at least once–when life on Earth began.
• It occurs every time a new species evolves from a preexisting species.
• It addresses the formation of living cells from previously nonliving material. 3 / 4
