Read the questions carefully. When you have questions, ask your teacher! We're here to help. Good luck! 

1

Which one is NOT a characteristic of all living thing?

1

Sunlight is an example of a stimulus.

1

_____ refers to the process by which populations change over time.

4

Match the term with the definition

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Natural Selection		humans select plants or animals for breeding based on desired traits
Adaptation		organisms inherit advantageous traits for better chances of survival
Artificial Selection		an inherited trait that helps an organism survive
Variations		natural differences in traits in a population

3

Define what a physical trait is and what an adaptation is (how are they similar and different). Use the wolf as an example.

1

What are the three domains of the classification system?

1

Eukarya is made up of prokaryotic species with cell walls.

1

The kingdom ______ gets energy by absorbing materials, often from dead organisms.

1

This kingdom contains multicellular organisms that lack cell walls and chloroplasts. They get nutrients by consuming/eating other organisms.

Required

1

This kingdom is full of species that are either unicellular or multicellular and can reproduce sexually or asexually.

1

Use the dichotmous key to identify what type of dragon that is.

1

Which one is not one of the three basic characteristics of cells and organisms? (aka the cell theory)

Below is a list of True or False statements about cells. Carefully read and decide if the statement is true or false. Click True if you think it's True. Click False if you think it's False. If you think "maybe" then think again! 

1

All cells have a cell membrane.

1

All cells have a flagella to move.

1

All cells have cytoplasm.

1

All cells have organelles.

1

All cells have mitochondria to make energy.

1

All cells have DNA or genetic material.

6

Match the organelle (cell part) to its function. Read the statements CAREFULLY. Please please read them carefully. Read them twice, three times, just read them...and read them carefully!

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Lysosomes		this is where cellular respiration occurs, which releases energy to be later be used
Cell Membrane		this is where the cell stores its genetic material, the DNA
Chloroplast		this is where photosynthesis takes place
Nucleus		this is where osmosis, diffusion, and active or passive transportation takes place
Ribosomes		these make proteins, which y'all now know we need
Mitochondria		helps break down waste, damaged cell parts, and invaders to be later removed from the cell

1

What is diffusion?

1

Active transport differs from diffusion because it:

Required

1

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis in plants?

1

Which of the following best describes cellular respiration?

1

Put the stages of mitosis in the correct order:

Metaphase
Telophase
Anaphase
Prophase

1

What is the main purpose of mitosis in living organisms?

1

What phase of mitosis do you think is happening here?

1

What is the main purpose of meiosis?

1

Which of the following is a unique feature of meiosis compared to mitosis?

Below are five questions about mitosis. Use the word below to fill in the blanks for questions 29-33. 
chromosome 
DNA
interphase
cytokineses 
spindle fibers 

1

_______ store and pass along the genetic information necessary for building and operating an organism.

1

The cell spends most of its time in the _______ stage of the cell cycle. 

1

After _______ , the cell has officially split into two new cells. 

1

A _______ is the condensed, visible form of chromatin or DNA. 

1

_______ pull the chromatids to opposite sides of the cell. 

1

What is the best definition of heredity?

2

If a cell’s mitochondria were damaged, what would likely happen to the cell? Why?

3

Why is the cell membrane compared to a gatekeeper? What does it control?
This question is a wonderful opportunity to go above and beyond and show the depth of your knowledge.

2

What would happen if cells divided without copying their DNA first?
