made of many cells and are heterotrophic
reproduce sexually and asexually (producing spores).
What is fungi
Define each
mutualism
parasitism
commensalism
Mutualism: Both organisms benefit from the relationship.
Parasitism: One organism (the parasite) benefits at the expense of the other (the host).
Commensalism: One organism benefits, while the other is neither harmed nor benefited.

on the left side of periodic table
What law states that matter cannot be destroyed or created, it can only change form
What is the law of conservation of mass
This rock type forms because of the erosion of igneous rock.
What is sedimentary rock
While cells are known as the "building blocks of life", this material is known as the "blueprint of life".
What is DNA
Which situation is most likely to prevent a viral epidemic from becoming a pandemic?
consistent public use of antibiotics
consistent public use of vaccines
consistent public use of vaccines
Methane is a pure substance and exists as a gas at room temperature. Each methane molecule is made up of one carbon atom chemically bonded to four hydrogen atoms. How is methane classified?
an element, a compound, a homogeneous mixture, a heterogeneous mixture

Index fossils tell scientists what most important fact? A. Time, B. Place, C. Identification of Plant/Animal, D. Is the Globe Warming

Jody learns that water moving over the falls formed the cave. Which choice best explains how the cave formed?
The moving water deposited minerals in the shale, creating a cave.
The moving water weathered the shale layer faster than the other layers, creating a cave.
The moving water weathered the shale layer faster than the other layers, creating a cave
The factor that best explains why some people will react differently than others to the same dose of an antibiotic. A high potency B low concentration C individual exposure D individual susceptibility
What is individual susceptibility
What are organisms that break down things called? A. Decomposers, B. Eubacteria, C. Genetic Engineering, D.The Lytic Cycle
What are Decomposers?
Below describes the process of inflating a hot-air balloon.
A flame heats the air near the bottom opening of the deflated balloon. Air expands and rises as a result of the heating.
The hot air expands inside the deflated balloon. Then, the hot air applies pressure on the balloon’s fabric walls, causing the balloon to change shape. How does the air expanding compare to the balloon changing shape?
A Both the air expanding and the balloon changing shape are physical changes.
B Both the air expanding and the balloon changing shape are chemical changes.
A Physical changes
he type of training local schools offer in order to prepare potential workers in the pharmaceutical industry. A biotechnology B ecology C engineering D geology
What is biotechnology?
What does the term 'valence electrons' mean? (2 things)
number of electrons on outermost shell, tells how reactive an element is
An infection causes serious illness in one of four people who contract it. Scientists do not recognize the pathogen and have no way to treat it. Smaller than a cell, the pathogen is spread through air. It forces a cell to create many copies of the original pathogen and destroys the cell in the process. What is the cause of this disease, and what could scientists do to protect public health?
The cause is a virus, and scientists could work on creating a vaccine to prevent the spread of the disease.
The cause is a virus, and scientists could work on creating an antibiotic to kill it.
The cause is a virus, and scientists could work on creating a vaccine to prevent the spread of the disease.
The diagram below represents a region’s food chain. plants → squirrel → coyote
Which change would increase the amount of carbon available to coyotes?
an increase in the coyote population
an increase in the squirrel population
increase in the squirrel population
