1.4Â Short Answer and Essay Questions
1) A particular virus consists of only DNA and proteins. Viruses attach to the surface of a host cell and inject the viral DNA into the host. The host cell then copies the viral DNA and makes new viruses. Eventually, the host cell is killed, and the new viruses are released. These new viruses search for new hosts to continue the cycle. Identify and apply at least three characteristics of life to justify whether a virus is a living thing.
Answer:Â Whether a virus is a living thing is debatable. Students may argue that a virus is not alive because it does not reproduce on its own, it is not made of cells, etc. However, a student may argue in the other direction based on his or her interpretation of the characteristics of life. For example, the student might answer that viruses do reproduce by coercing their host cells into copying their contents.

2) List and briefly explain the organization of life, beginning at the molecular level and continuing through the biosphere.
Answer:Â Molecules exist in the cell, which is the basic unit of life, and cells can be arranged to form tissues, which in turn can form organs. Organs can be arranged into organ systems that carry out a particular physiological function. Cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems make up an individual organism. A group of individuals of the same species in a given area form a population. Many populations in an ecosystem make up a community, and all living organisms and abiotic factors that support life on Earth form the biosphere.

3) Explain how the destruction of the original tropical forests will affect the development of new medicines.
Answer:Â More than 25% of the prescription medicines in the United States contain chemicals that came from medically important plants. Important medicines, such as aspirin and digitalis, were discovered in plants that had been used as folk remedies. The majority of plant species are in tropical forests. Deforestation will result in the loss of many plant species, and humanity will have no way of knowing what potential new medicines are being destroyed.

5) It is notoriously difficult to perform unbiased studies when human subjects are used. When governmental agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are trying to determine the validity of scientific claims, they very closely examine the methods used in the experiments. What are the three phases of clinical trial, and which one(s) must a drug pass in order to be sold in U.S. markets?
Answer:Â Phase I tests whether the drug is safe for humans, determines the effective dosage range, and identifies side effects. Phase II tests whether the drug works for its intended purpose. Phase III tests how the drug compares to already existing, available treatments. A drug needs to pass all three phases to be approved by the FDA.

6) Lately, many claims concerning the health benefits of green tea have appeared in the news. Suppose you read a claim that says drinking green tea causes weight loss. The information provided states that participants were weighed at the beginning of the study, were then asked to drink 2 cups of green tea every day for 6 weeks, and finally were weighed at the end of the study. Participants who drank the tea for 6 weeks seemed to have lost some weight by the end of the study, so the researchers concluded that green tea is helpful for weight loss. This study has some obvious holes in it. Explain three things that could be done to improve the design of this study. Do not assume any information other that what has been provided.
Answer:Â The student can suggest that a control group be used and/or that placebos be used. Also, the study could be double-blind.
