Organisms made up of a single cell.

What is unicellular?

100

The variable being tested in an experiment.

What is the independent variable?

100

Another name for autotrophs that is more commonly used. 

What are producers?

100

Another name for heterotrophs that explains how their nutrients are obtained.

What is consumer?

100

A group of unicellular organisms.

What is colonial?

200

The basic unit of structure and function in all organisms.

What is a cell?

200
Having this group in an experiment is necessary in order to have a basis for comparison.

What is the control group? 

200
The process used by some autotrophs to create nutrients when there is an absence of sunlight.

What is chemosynthesis?

200

These are the 5 different types of heterotrophs.

What are herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, decomposers, and detritivores. 

200

Reproduction that requires only one parent resulting in an exact copy of the parent.

What is Asexual?

300

The regulation of an organisms internal environment at optimal and stable conditions. 

What is homeostasis?

300

Data that is obtained through numerical measurements such as height, length, or amount are considered to be this type of data.

What is Quantitative Data?

300

Autotrophs have this extra layer within their cells that help provide the cell's shape. It is visible even when the cell is no longer living.

What is a cell wall?

300

Herbivores are considered to be part of this tier in a food web or energy pyramid.

What is primary consumer?

300

The ability to adapt and change over time.

What is evolution?

400

Organs that assist with the same bodily function collectively are referred to as this.

What are organ systems?

400

It is important to collect and analyze data in an experiment in order to formulate a valid conclusion.

What is data?

400

Autotrophs make up this portion of the energy pyramid.

What is the bottom of the energy pyramid?

400

These are often confused to be plants; however, they do not perform photosynthesis, they instead obtain their nutrients through decomposition of dead matter in their surrounding area. 

What are fungi?

400
No organism can survive on its own. The survival of any species requires its reliance on other organisms.

What is interdependence?

500

The sum of all the biochemical reactions in an organism is referred to as this; though this same term is often used to express one's speed of processing nutrients and calories for energy.

What is metabolism?

500

The factors of an experiment that are purposely kept the same.

What are constants?

500
Plants are not the only autotrophs. Some forms of this single celled organism area also able to perform photosynthesis.

What is bacteria?

500

This consumer obtains nutrients through consumption of producers or other consumers.

What is an omnivore?

500

When a species is unable to adapt and seizes to exist on Earth.

What is extinction?
