200-1

Why do organisms need energy?

Organisms need energy to grow and develop, to

move and to allow organs and cells to function.

400-1

What is photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is the process by which green

plants produce their own food using sunlight, water

and carbon dioxide.

600-1

If an organism is unable to adapt to its

surroundings and maintain homeostasis,

what will happen to the organism?

It will die.

800-1

What do all organisms need to produce energy?

Nutrients and water

1000-1

What is the difference between an autotroph

and a heterotroph? Give specific examples of

each.

An autotroph produces its own food. All plants are

autotrophs. A heterotroph must consume (eat) its

food. All animals are heterotrophs.

200-2What is the ability of an

organism to maintain a stable internal

environment (inside its body) even when the external environment

(outside its body) changes?

Homeostasis

400-2

What is a stimulus?

A stimulus is any change that causes an organism

to react.

600-2

What is a response?

A response is an organism’s reaction to a

stimulus.

800-2

Any change an organism makes which makes it

better able to survive in its environment is known

as an ___________.

Adaptation

1000-2After a running a marathon,

Lauren is feeling extremely thirsty since her muscles used up a great

deal of water during the race. Lauren retrieves her water bottle and drinks some water to relieve

her thirst.

What is the stimulus in this passage? What is the response in

this passage?

The stimulus is thirst.

The response is drinking water.

200-3

Which cell organelle contains genetic

material and is the control center for the cell? It’s like the cell’s

brain.

Nucleus

400-3

Which cell structure

determines what enters and leaves the cell? It’s like a

screen door.

Cell membrane

600-3

Which cell structure provides a plant cell with structure and support? It’s like a

plant cell’s skeleton, except it’s not inside

the cell.

Cell wall

800-3

Which cell organelle allows plant cells to

perform photosynthesis?

Chloroplasts

1000-3

Name two structures which plant cells have

which animal cells do not.

Chloroplasts and a cell wall

200-4

What substance fills the inside of a

cell?

Cytoplasm

400-4

What is the process of cell division called

when a cell produces a copy of

itself?

Mitosis

600-4

What is the process of cell division called

when a cell produces new cells for the

purpose of reproduction (sperm

and eggs)?

Meiosis

800-4

If mitosis is not performed correctly

and cells start reproducing

uncontrollably, what disease can that

cause?

Cancer

1000-4

200-5

What is another word for grouping things together?

Classification

400-5

What is the classification of living things?

Taxonomy

600-5

Which taxonomic grouping contains

the most organisms and which contains

the fewest?

A kingdom has the most organisms

and a species has the fewest organisms.

800-5

Which taxonomic grouping contains

organisms which share the most characteristics

and which contains organisms which share

the fewest characteristics?

Organisms in the same species share the most characteristics, while

organisms in a kingdom share fewer characteristics.

1000-5

What two taxa (groupings of living things) are used to write the scientific

name of an organism?

Genus and species (i.e. Homo sapiens- Homo is the genus;

sapiens is the species)

d’Ivoire?
