What is carbon dioxide and water?

100

Adenine pairs with THIS base in DNA.

What is Thymine (T)?

100

THIS organelle contains the enzymes needed to synthesize ATP in the presence of oxygen.

What is the mitochondrion?

100

THIS system helps break down food for nutrition in consumers.

What is the digestive system?

200
If something is organic, that is another way of saying it is THIS.

What is living or once living?

200

Heterotrophs must always have a population size that is THIS compared to the autotrophs?

What is smaller?
200

THESE two organelles work together during the process of protein synthesis.

What are the nucleus and ribosome?

200

Chromosomes contain THESE, which each code for one protein.

What are genes?

200

The body cells of most multicellular animals are not in direct contact with the external environment, which is why we require THIS system to transport nutrients. 

What is the CIRCULATORY system?

300

THIS organic compound is found in most cells and is one of the key products of photosynthesis.

What is glucose?

300

Hydras, earthworms, grasshoppers, and humans are classified in the same THIS

What is KINGDOM or DOMAIN?

300
RNA has THIS special property, which is why DNA must first be converted to RNA during protein synthesis.

What is the ability to leave the nucleus?

300

The cell membrane regulates THIS process.

What is transport?

300

THIS is the order of organization from organelles to organism in multicellular organisms.

What is Organelles -> Cells -> Tissues -> Organs -> Organ Systems -> Organism?

400

Viruses are exceptions to the cell theory, but they have some characteristics of living things, including that they contain THIS, sometimes taking the form of RNA or DNA.

What is genetic material?

400

The absence of chloroplasts in a unicellular organism suggests that it carries out THIS type of nutrition.

What is heterotrophic nutrition?

400

THIS base found in DNA is not found in RNA.

What is Thymine (T)?
400

THESE two structures are only present in plant cells.

What are cell walls and chloroplasts?

400

THESE messenger chemicals are produced by the endocrine system.

What are HORMONES?

500

THESE are the four key macromolecules found in each cell. 

Bonus +100 for each building block you can pair with its macromolecule.

What are Proteins (amino acids), Carbohydrates (sugars), Lipids (glycerol & fatty acids), and Nucleic Acids (nucleotides)?

500

THESE two kingdoms make up most decomposers in the world.

What are bacteria and fungi?

500

If there is 20% Cytosine in my DNA, THIS percent of my DNA is Thymine.

What is 30%?

500

During diffusion, molecules move in THIS direction along the concentration gradient?

What is High to Low (or down)?
500

THIS is the reason why we use cellular respiration over fermentation in our bodies.

What is fermentation makes less energy than cellular respiration?
