These are the building blocks of complex carbohydrates.

What are monosaccharides?

100

These organisms are the ones responsible for bringing carbon into their ecosystem.

What are producers?

100

Do you even lift? This oft-misused term in biology means an organism's ability to produce offspring.

What is fitness?

100

This is the smallest category of classification.

What is a species?

100

Out of breath? You might use this metabolic pathway to regenerate NAD+ in the absence of oxygen.

What is fermentation?

200

We have a water-soluble compound that contains information. It is likely this type of macromolecule.

What are nucleic acids?

200

Om nom nom! This is the term for organisms that must consume other organisms for their energy.

What are consumers?

200

This is the process by which differences in reproductive success change a population to more closely resemble those organisms with higher fitness.

What is natural selection?

200

Far out! This kingdom includes organisms that can be found in extreme environments like hot springs and acid mine tailings.

What is Domain Archaeabacteria?

200

Sweet! This 3-carbon sugar is one of the products of glycolysis.

What is pyruvate?

300

These are the building blocks of compounds like amylase and keratin.

What are amino acids?

300

Ah yes, I love salad! These types of organisms consume only producers.

What are herbivores?

300

We would predict this type of selection when those individuals with moderate values for a trait have the highest fitness.

What is stabilizing selection?

300

A mystery organism that is heterotrophic, multicellular, and has a cell wall is likely in this kingdom?

What is kingdom fungi?

300

In cellular respiration, the energy found in glucose is harvested and transferred to the ETC using these two molecules.

What are NADH and FADH2?

400

This is the term for a long chain of amino acids.

What are polypeptides?

400

I'll have my steak rare! These organisms eat only other consumers.

What are carnivores?

400

Well one of us has to go change. This is the term for structures that are derived from different sources, but share an appearance due to similar evolutionary pressure.

What are analagous structures?

400

This kingdom is made up of multicellular, nucleated organisms that undergo photosynthesis.

What is Kingdom Plantae?

400

In photosynthesis, this is the enzyme responsible for fixing carbon.

What is RuBisCO?

500

Yeah, we get around. These are the only 3 elements found in all 4 groups of macromolecules.

What are C, H, O?

500

I love a good buffet! These organisms eat a mix of producers and other consumers.

What is an omnivore?

500

The forelimbs of birds and bats share the same basic parts, but have been modified into slightly different forms. This is an example of this type of structure.

What are homologous structures?

500

This domain contains organisms that lack nuclei and can be found in places like our gut and our food if we're not careful.

What is Bacteria?

500

Tricky! What enzyme plays a key role in both respiration and photosynthesis?

What is ATP synthase?
