Module 1
What is considered the smallest unit of life?
Cell
In a food chain, these organisms consume producers and are known as herbivores.
Primary consumers
This naturalist is famous for formulating the theory of evolution by natural selection.
Charles Darwin
This level of biological organization integrates all the ecosystems on Earth.
Biosphere
This country has won more FIFA World Cups than any other.
Brazil
In an experiment, it is the variable that is measured or recorded as a result of the change.
Dependent Variable
Name the type of biotic relationship in which one organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed.
Commensalism
Process by which humans breed plants or animals to obtain desired traits, such as specific dogs breeds or resistant crops.
Artificial selection
Endemic species are species that are in danger of extinction.
True or False?
False. (Endemic species are those that are native to and found only in a specific geographic area. They are not necessarily endangered.)
The longest river in the world is one of these two: Amazon or Nile.
Amazon
When different types of tissues combine to perform specific functions, they form this.
An organ
Term that refers to an organism’s role in its environment (what it eats, who its predators are, its behavior, etc.)
Niche
Principle proposed by Darwin that states individuals with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce.
Natural selection
Organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis.
Autotrophs
How many Harry Potter movies are there?
8
A group within an experiment that does not receive treatment and serves as a reference to compare the results.
Control group
These species are very sensitive to environmental changes and help measure the health of an ecosystem (ex: trout).
Indicator species
Before Darwin, this scientist proposed that organisms could change their characteristics during their lifetime depending on how much they used them and pass these changes on to their offspring (e.g., giraffes developing longer necks because they stretched them frequently).
We now know that these ideas are NOT correct.
Lamarck
A biotic relationship between members of the same species is called an interspecific relationship.
True or False?
False. (A relationship between members of the same species is called an intraspecific relationship.)
What is the real name of the YouTuber and content creator known for his massive challenges and donations, famous for his channel “MrBeast”?
a) John Donaldson
b) Jimmy Donaldson
c) James Donaldson
d) Jack Donaldson
b) Jimmy Donaldson
Name the 7 characteristics of living things:
Metabolism, organization, homeostasis, responsiveness, growth, reproduction, evolution, *movement
Organisms that do not produce their own food and depend on others to obtain energy.
Heterotrophs
Evidence of evolution obtained by observing similar characteristics in different organisms during their early developmental stages, indicating a common ancestor.
Embryology
Evidence of evolution obtained by comparing similar organs in different organisms that suggest a common ancestor.
Comparative anatomy / Homologous structures
