3 A01_REEC7295_09_PTB_FM.qxd 12/19/13 10:14 AM Page iii Preface Welcome to the Test Bank for the tenth edition of Campbell Biology. What you will find is a thoroughly revised collection of questions based on the strong foundation established in the nine previous editions. Each member of the Test Bank team, along with editors, has reviewed each question carefully to ensure that the content and terminology of that question accurately reflects the material in the new edition of the text. We hope that you will find ample questions from which to choose in compiling your tests and assignments. We also hope that you will be guided by the assignment of skill levels. The Test-Your-Understanding multiple-choice questions found in the review section of each textbook chapter have also been included in the Test. We tried to classify each question according to the complexity of the mental processes involved. The model we used is modified from Bloom, Benjamin et al., Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: The Classification of Educational Goals, Handbook I: Cognitive Domain. New York: Longmans, Green, The categories in the cognitive domain that we used to classify questions are Level 1: Knowledge/Comprehension Recognizing or recalling information; understanding of facts and ideas by organizing, comparing, contrasting, translating, and interpreting; giving descriptions; explaining and stating main ideas; using information to deduce a best answer. Level 2: Application/Analysis Applying previously learned information in new situations to answer questions that have single or best answers; examining and breaking information into parts by identifying motives or causes; making inferences and finding evidence to support generalizations; applying knowledge to new situations; interpreting data; finding connections from one chapter to another. Level 3: Synthesis/Evaluation Compiling information in a different way by combining elements in a new pattern or proposing alternative solutions; making judgments about information, validity of ideas, or quality of work based on internal evidence or a set of criteria. We recognize that you may interpret our classifications of the questions differently; therefore, these classifications should be considered only as a rough guide to the knowledge and skills required for answering each question.

16 The following experiment is used for the corresponding question(s). A researcher discovered a species of moth that lays its eggs on oak trees. Eggs are laid at two distinct times of the year: early in spring when the oak trees are flowering and in midsummer when flowering is past. Caterpillars from eggs that hatch in spring feed on oak flowers and look like oak flowers. But caterpillars that hatch in summer feed on oak leaves and look like oak twigs. How does the same population of moths produce such different looking caterpillars on the same trees? To answer this question, the biologist caught many female moths from the same population and collected their eggs. He put at least one egg from each female into eight identical cups. The eggs hatched, and at least two larvae from each female were maintained in one of the four temperature and light conditions listed below. In each of the four environments, one of the caterpillars was fed oak flowers, the other oak leaves. Thus, there were a total of eight treatment groups (4 environments 2 diets). 19) Refer to the accompanying figure. Which one of the following is NOT a plausible hypothesis to explain the differences in caterpillar appearance observed in this population? A) The longer day lengths of summer trigger the development of twig like caterpillars. B) The cooler temperatures of spring trigger the development of flowerlike caterpillars. C) Differences in air pressure, due to differences in elevation, trigger the development of different types of caterpillars. D) Differences in diet trigger the development of different types of caterpillars. 6 1, Evolution, the Themes of Biology & Scientific Inquiry Copyright 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

17 20) Refer to the accompanying figure. In every case, caterpillars that feed on oak flowers look like oak flowers. In every case, caterpillars that were raised on oak leaves looked like twigs. These results support which of the following hypotheses? A) The longer day lengths of summer trigger the development of twig like caterpillars. B) Differences in air pressure, due to elevation, trigger the development of different types of caterpillars. C) Differences in diet trigger the development of different types of caterpillars. D) The differences are genetic. A female will either produce all flowerlike caterpillars or all twig like caterpillars. 21) Refer to the accompanying figure. Recall that eggs from the same female were exposed to each of the eight treatments used. This aspect of the experimental design tested which of the following hypotheses? A) The longer day lengths of summer trigger the development of twig like caterpillars. B) Differences in air pressure, due to elevation, trigger the development of different types of caterpillars. C) Differences in diet trigger the development of different types of caterpillars. D) The differences are genetic. A female will either produce all flowerlike caterpillars or all twig like caterpillars. Answer: D 22) Recall the caterpillar experiment in which caterpillars born in the spring looked like flowers, and caterpillars born in the summer looked like twigs. What is the most likely selective advantage for this difference in body shape? A) Looking like their food sources allows the caterpillars to move through their environment more efficiently. B) Development into the adult moth form is faster for caterpillars shaped like twigs than like flowers. C) Looking like their food source lets the caterpillars blend into their surroundings, reducing predation. D) Looking like their food source will increase the caterpillarsʹ feeding efficiency; this would increase their growth rate and survival rate. 23) How does a scientific theory differ from a scientific hypothesis? A) Theories are proposed to test scientific hypotheses. B) Theories are usually an explanation for a more general phenomenon; hypotheses typically address more specific issues. C) Hypotheses are usually an explanation for a more general phenomenon; theories typically address more specific issues. D) Confirmed theories become scientific laws; hypotheses become theories.

A) Determine the survival rate of Agrobacterium when exposed to different concentrations of an antibiotic. B) Measure the number of tumors formed on a plant when exposed to various concentrations of Agrobacterium. C) Measure the concentration of Agrobacterium in different soil environments where the plants grow. D) Measure the number of tumors formed on plants, which are exposed to Agrobacterium for different lengths of time. Answer: D 26) Agrobacterium infects plants and causes them to form tumors. You determine that tumor formation requires a large amount of the plantʹs energy for tissue formation. How might this change the number of offspring a plant produces, and what is the most likely explanation for this change? A) The number of offspring should increase, because in general, illness increases the reproductive output of organisms. B) The number of offspring should increase, because the bacteria will provide energy for the plant. C) The number of offspring should decrease, because the plant will divert energy from reproduction to tumor formation. D) There should be no effect of infection on offspring production because energy for reproduction is independent of infection. 8 1, Evolution, the Themes of Biology & Scientific Inquiry Copyright 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

19 Use the following information when answering the corresponding question(s). In 1668, Francesco Redi performed a series of experiments on spontaneous generation. He began by putting similar pieces of meat into eight identical jars. Four jars were left open to the air, and four were sealed. He then did the same experiment with one variation: Instead of sealing four of the jars completely, he covered them with gauze (the gauze excluded the flies while allowing the meat to be exposed to air). In both experiments, he monitored the jars and recorded whether or not maggots (young flies) appeared in the meat. 27) Refer to the paragraph on Rediʹs experiments. What hypothesis was being tested in the initial experiment with open versus sealed jars? A) Spontaneous generation is more likely during the long days of summer. B) The type of meat used affects the likelihood of spontaneous generation. C) Maggots do not arise spontaneously, but from eggs laid by adult flies.
