What is a virus?
200
The universal genetic code for organisms, that acts as an instruction manual for cells.
What is DNA?
200
The difference between a population and a community.
What is a population is made of similar organisms in an area (1 species) and community is different organisms (more than 1 species) in an area?
200
Key characteristics of a eukaryotic cell.
ex: plant, animal, and fungal cells
What is has DNA in a nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and is usually larger and more complex
200
Numbers are an example of this, which we collect during experiments (BE SPECIFIC).
What is qualitative data?

What is Claim, Evidence, Reasoning?
300
The state of internal balance that all organisms try to reach, to keep themselves stable.
What is homeostasis?
300
The largest level of biological organization including all organisms in a community and their nonliving environment.
What is an Ecosystem?
300
Major difference between plant and animal Cell STRUCTURE.
What is plant cells are more rectangular/ rigid and animal Cells- are more round/ flexible.
300
Difference between hypothesis and theory.
What is a hypothesis is a guess that will need to be tested. A theory is well-tested, criticized, and supported and widely-accepted.

Based on the table, the negative control group of the experiment.
What is the group of plants that received no light?
400
The difference between nonliving and dead.
What is: Dead things used to show the CoL, but not anymore and Nonliving things have never and will never show the CoL.
400
Similar organs working together to perform a similar function.
What is an organ system?

Red Blood Cells deliver oxygen to tissues. They are transported by the heart through blood vessels made mostly of epithelial tissue.
Blood is pumped throughout the body to all major organs through this major organ system.
What is the cardiovascular, circulatory, cardiac system?
