Evolution
T1. Q1. Which animals did Darwin study in the Galapagos Islands? (Ch.1)
C. Tortoises and finches
BONUS. How can Fungi be helpful?
They can be used to make foods like bread or beer.
T2. Q4. What is an antibiotic?
A. An antibiotic is something that kills bacteria.
BONUS. What is a key ingredient in vaccines?
Weakened or dead viruses.
T3. Q1. Why do tomatoes taste less yummy today? (Ch.3)
B. Because humans selectively bred them for their color, but made them taste worse.
T1. Q5. What is a "hybrid"? (Ch.4.)
D. A hybrid is a plant or animal created from two different species.
T2. Q3. How are protists different from bacteria? (Ch. 5)
B. Protists have a nucleus, but bacteria does not.
T3. Q4. Why is antibiotic resistance a problem? (Ch. 6)
B. Because it means we can't use antibiotics to kill dangerous bacterial infections.
T2. Q6. Circle all the facts that are true about vaccines. (Ch. 8)
B. Some vaccines contain dead diseases.
D. Not all diseases can be stopped by vaccines.
T3. Q2. Which is true? (Ch. 4)
B. Global warming is helping jellyfish, by making oceans warmer and killing off animals that hunt them.
T1. Q2. What is "natural selection"? (Ch. 1)
B. It's how traits are passed down by animals with better adaptations.
T2. Q5. Circle True or False. (Ch. 6) If false, please give the correct answer too.
Bacteriostatics immobilize bacteria.
Bactericides sometimes work by stopping bacteria from making cell walls.
True
True
T3. Q5. Which of these is not a reason for antibiotic resistance happening? (Ch. 6)
D. People have been making viruses stronger in labs, which means they can survive antibiotics.
BONUS. What is variolation? Explain how it works.
T3. Q3. Why might Korea have more deadly diseases in the future? (Ch. 4)
C. Because mosquitoes from warmer countries will move up to Korea, bringing deadly diseases with them.
T1. Q3. What is a "common ancestor"? (Ch. 2)
C. It's an organism from long ago that all life is descended from.
T2. Q2. Why are viruses technically not living things? (Ch. 5)
D. Because they're too simple to do all of the life processes.
T3. Q6. Why is it hard to make new antibiotics? (Ch. 7)
C. It's hard because a lot of chemicals don't just kill microorganisms, they also harm our bodies.
BONUS. Why can we not end all diseases with vaccines?
Some viruses evolve too quickly and would require us to make new vaccines for them each time, which is expensive and slow.
THIS IS A GIFT CARD! Who is the best character? (According to Ms. Rachel!)
Stacy Beaker!!!!!!!
T1. Q4. Circle True or False. (Ch. 3) If false, please give the correct answer too.
Divergent evolution is what happens when two species become more similar.
Selective breeding is where humans choose and breed certain traits.
False. Divergent evolution is what happens when one species becomes different due to separation.
True.
T2. Q1. Circle True or False. (Ch. 5) If false, please give the correct answer too.
All bacteria is dangerous to humans.
Mushrooms and molds are examples of fungi.
False. Some bacteria actually help keep us healthy.
True.
BONUS. How do antibiotics work?
Antibiotics work by killing bacteria. They can be used to cure infections.
BONUS. How do vaccines work?
Vaccines work by preparing the body for a certain type of disease. They train the body to respond to a virus or infection, so it can protect itself faster.
BONUS. Explain how some animals have adapted to climate change. Use specific examples!
Some animals like polar bears are adapting by breeding with grizzly bears to make pizzly bears. They’re better adapted to living in places with less ice.
Some animals are getting bigger. Australian parrots have bigger beaks not, to help them cool down. Bats have also grown larger wings. Masked shrews are growing longer tails to cool down faster.
Some animals, like jellyfish and mosquitos, are adapting by moving into new places as the weather warms up.
