    Chemical energy is:

    • The potential energy stored in substances & this energy becomes available when certain types of chemical reactions occur.

    • The principle source of energy for life on Earth.

    • Produced when molecules in a substance move.

    • Available in the form of glucose, as soon as photosynthesis takes place in plants.

    Correct Answer
    A. The potential energy stored in substances & this energy becomes available when certain types of chemical reactions occur.
    Explanation
    Radiant energy (sunlight) is the principle source of energy for life on Earth.
    Heat energy is produced when molecules in a substance move.
    Chemical energy is only available to most organisms after respiration takes place.

    To be classified as 'living', you must meet:

    • At least 2 of the characteristics of living things.

    • At least 4 of the characteristics of living things.

    • At least 6 of the characteristics of living things.

    • All 8 of the characteristics of living things.

    Correct Answer
    A. All 8 of the characteristics of living things.
    Explanation
    Living things possess certain characteristics that distinguish them from non-living things. These characteristics include organization, energy utilization, homeostasis, growth and development, reproduction, response to stimuli, adaptation, and evolution. In order to be classified as "living," an entity must exhibit all 8 of these characteristics. Meeting only 2, 4, or 6 of these characteristics would not be sufficient to be considered living.

    The three criteria that are used to determine your overall result in Biology are:

    • Understanding Biology, Researching Biology, and Investigating and Concluding

    • Conceptual Understanding, Investigating and Concluding, and Analysing Biological Issues

    • Knowledge and Conceptual Understanding, Investigative Processes, and Evaluating and Concluding

    • Understanding Biology, Investigating Biology, and Evaluating Biological Issues

    Correct Answer
    A. Understanding Biology, Investigating Biology, and Evaluating Biological Issues
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Knowledge and Conceptual Understanding, Investigative Processes, and Evaluating and Concluding. This answer aligns with the three criteria mentioned in the question: Understanding Biology, Investigating Biology, and Evaluating Biological Issues. It encompasses both the knowledge and conceptual understanding of biology, as well as the ability to apply investigative processes and evaluate biological issues.
