Even though the weather is cold, a squirrel maintains a constant body temperature. What is that trait called? • Stimuli • Biogenesis • Homeostasis • Hypothesis
Organisms need all of the following things EXCEPT what? • Energy • Water • A place to live • Hunting skills
Pasteur’s experiment about how new life is formed proved biogenesis. Which of these explains what biogenesis is? • Life comes from non-life • All hereditary material is found in the cell • Life comes from life • All organisms are made up of cells
The scientific name for the wolf is Canis lupus. What does the second word in the name represent? • Genus • Kingdom • Class • Species
Which of these is an example of a scientific theory? • All organisms need energy to survive • Water is abundant on Earth • The Sun rises every day • Humans might have evolved
In which climate would you expect to discover many different types of animals? • Cold and snowy • Hot and dry • Warm and moist • Cold and dry
Which of these explains why scientists conduct experiments? • To learn how things work • To teach school • To help living things survive • To clean up the environment
Which two-part organelle is most responsible for making the cell’s proteins? • Mitochondrion • Ribosome • Recycling organelle • Chloroplast
A cell’s cytoplasm will perform all of the following functions EXCEPT what? • Keeping valuable chemicals inside the cell • Containing the cell’s framework • Containing many chemicals and water • Housing the cell’s different organelles
Which structure supplies energy through aerobic respiration? • Nucleus • Ribosome • Endoplasmic reticulum • Mitochondrion
Which of the following is an organelle? • Chlorophyll • Tissue • Cell wall projection • Chloroplast
A chemical that harms only prokaryotic cells would affect which of the following? • Fungi • Plants • Animals • Bacteria
You have learned that salt and other materials can travel in and out of a cell. Which process allows salt to travel into a cell? • Active transport • Diffusion • Osmosis • Reproduction
Chlorophyll is contained in a plant’s • Viruses • Roots • Chloroplasts • Mitochondria
If energy is used to move this substance across the cell membrane, then • The cells may be using passive transport • Facilitated diffusion may be involved • The cells must be using active transport • The cells must rely on diffusion
Which of the choices below is the compound? • Oxygen • Hydrogen • Salt • Carbon
Which statement best explains osmosis? • Osmosis is the movement of water • Osmosis is the diffusion of water • Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane • Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a membrane
White blood cells in your body defend you against infection by engulfing invading organisms. The white blood cell engulfs the invader into itself by the process of • Endocytosis • Diffusion • Exocytosis • Photosynthesis

Mutations are mistakes that sometimes happen when DNA is being copied. Mutations might affect the health of a species by • Limiting the genetic variety in a species • Limiting the species ability to grow, repair or maintain itself • Increasing the effeciency of protein production • Increasing the number of steps that occur in mitosis
During mitosis, DNA is copied and passed on to new cells. In which part of the cell is this hereditary material located? • Cell membrane • Chromosomes • Nucleus • Cell wall
