Two tectonic plates pushing together is known as....
A convergent boundary.
100
Name all the trophic levels in the energy pyramid.
Producer, Primary consumer, Secondary Consumer, and Tertiary Consumer
100
Name the most complex level of organization.
An organism is the most complex level of organization.
100
Which would have a better survival rate asexual reproducers or sexual reproducers? Explain why.
Sexual reproducers would have a better survival rate because they can adapt to a changing environment.
You answer must mention adaptation for full points.
100
How many domains are there? Name them.
Three. Domain Eukarya, Archea, and Bacteria.
200
Name the three plate boundaries and the landforms they create. (One landform for each boundary minimum).
Convergent - Mountains/Volcanoes
Divergent - Mid Ocean Ridges/Rift Valley
Transform- Faults/Earthquakes
Bonus: +20 if you mentioned two landforms instead of just one.
200
Name the trophic level that only contain autotrophic organisms.
Producers/Plants
200
What two body systems are being used when a person curls their arm or bends their knee?
The muscular system pulls on the skeletal system to move the human body.
200
Name an organism that is capable of both asexual and sexual reproduction. Provide some explanation on how they reproduce for extra points
Plants, such as strawberries use both asexual and sexual reproduction. They use pollination and vegetative propagation.
+ 20 if you mentioned pollination
+40 if you mentioned vegetative propagation
+60 for both.
200
How many kingdoms are there? Name them.
There are 5 kingdoms. Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Archaea bacteria, and Eubacteria.
300
What is the theory on continental drift and who developed of this theory?
Continental drift is the idea that continents drifted apart. This theory was developed by Alfred Wegener.
300
Which trophic level would a wolf most likely get it's energy from?
A secondary consumer.
300
Explain how the respiratory system and circulatory system work together.
The respiratory system brings in oxygen and the circulatory system transports that oxygen throughout the body.
Bonus 20+ if mentioned that oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged within the capillaries.
300
Define artificial selection and mention 2 negative side effects associated with the process.
Artificial selection is when humans choose what traits will get passed down from parent to offspring. It can result in genetic deformities and reduced survival rates.
300
Name one difference and one similarity between Archaea bacteria and Eubacteria.
Same: Cell wall, Prokaryotic unicellular, etc.
Difference: Archaea bacteria typically live in extreme environments. Eubacteria can be found in a large variety of environments.
400
The red spaces on the map represent ocean depth. The redder the map the deeper the ocean floor is. What caused the ocean floor to become deeper.
The movement of tectonic plates.
Bonus: +30 if you said divergent boundaries made the sea floor deeper.
400
A mouse eats tree bark, insects, and seeds. What two trophic levels would the mouse be classified as?
A mouse would be a primary consumer because it eats tree bark and seeds and a secondary consumer because it eats insects.
400
Describe the function of the small intestine.
The function of the small intestine is to absorb nutrients.
400
Protistia, Bacteria, and Archea are all capable of this form of reproduction. (200 points) For full points name another thing they all have in common.
They are cable of asexual reproduction. They are also unicellular and they are all heterotrophs and autotrophs.
400
Name a kingdom that can be both heterotopic and autotrophic and provide an example of this organism.
Protista. Algae, Mold, etc.
500
Describe subduction and explain why/how the tectonic plates move.
Subduction is when one plate sinks underneath the other. Convention currents in the earth's mantle causes the plates to move towards, away, or past each other.
Bonus: +20 if you mentioned that subduction is caused by convergent boundaries.
500
Name an organism that breaks down dead organic matter and explain how it plays a role in the phosphorus cycle.
An organism that breaks down dead organic matter is a decomposer such as a fungi or bacteria. These decomposers take the phosphorus contained in organic matter and releases it into the soil for plants to use.
500
A person goes outside and feels the sun on their skin. After sitting outside for a while they begin to sweat. What two body systems are being used during this process?
The integumentary system contains the skin and is able to feel the sun with the help of the nerves in the nervous system.
Bonus +70 if you mentioned electrical impulses traveling through the nervous system.
500
Megan is a famous super hero who is cable of duplication. She can split herself into two exact copies of herself. What form of reproduction is she undertaking? ( Be very specific for full credit)
Megan is undergoing a form of asexual reproduction when she uses her powers (250 points)
Specifically she is undergoing binary fission. ( 250 points)
500
Name this organism! This organism is belongs in the kingdom animalia, is heterotrophic, lives in marine environments, and is capable of asexual reproduction.
Get a hint but lose have the points.
A Star fish.
