Explanation / Answer

1. False (the use of biotechnology to make products as cheese and tofu is an example of fermentation)

2. False (the history begins with zymology)

3. False (Archea, bacteria, and Eukarya )

4. False (Fungi are multicellular eukaryotes)

5. True (because they get their energy from organic substrate )

6. False (All multicellular organisms are eukaryotes or unicellular eukaryotes example are ameba, paramoecium)

7. True

8. True

9. True

10. False (A scientific explanation for a natural event is called hypothesis)

11. A. (Energy flows and nutrient cycles)

12. Metabolism

13.

Purines and pyrimidines are nucleic acids (A,T,C & G)

Steroids are lipids because they are hydrophobic and insoluble in water
