This was included in Miller's experiment to replicate the lightning that would have been present in Earth's early atmosphere.
What is a spark of electricity?
100
All organic compounds have these two elements
What are carbon and hydrogen?
200
Something that causes a response, or reaction, from a living thing.
What is a stimulus?
200
The original source of energy for most living things.
What is the sun?
200
This provides protection from predators and changes in the environment.
What is a place to live?
200
Life wasn't created in Miller's experiment, but these were.
What are amino acids (or building blocks of life)?
200
The organic compound that is a source of easily accessed energy.
What is a carbohydrate?
300
The theory that life can just appear.
What is spontaneous generation?
300
True or False: Single-celled organisms can grow and develop.
What is true?
300
These are two different benefits of water for living things.
What are removing wastes, aiding in transportation, and providing a place for chemical reactions?
300
Amino acids have been found on these after they have landed on our planet.
What are asteroids?
300
Two functions of lipids
What are protection and storage of energy?
400
Metabolism
What is all chemical reactions in an organism? Or, what is breaking apart compounds for energy?
400
The five traits of all living things. (You may not look at the west wall!)
What is can reproduce, is made of cells, grows and develops, uses energy, and respond to the environment.
400
This is a comparison of how our gerbils and you meet their needs for survival.
What is (multiple possibilities)?
400
These places could have been where life first began. Scientists who study this topic have evidence that pressure and heat can cause chemical reactions that result in organic compounds.
What are the ocean trenches?
400
What are two functions of nucleic acids?
What are making proteins and storing genetic information?
500
Homeostasis
What is the process of keeping internal conditions regulated despite changes in the surrounding environment?
500
The reason that homeostasis is considered an example of responding to the environment.
What is the fact that homeostasis requires an organism to do something to keep internal conditions regulated. A change in the surroundings is the stimulus, and how the organism keeps conditions regulated is the response.
500
RANDOM QUESTION! Two pieces of evidence of life on Mars that the Curiosity has gathered since it's been on Mars.
What is (multiple possible responses)?
500
This theory is the accepted theory for how life began on our planet.
What is there is not one accepted theory (trick question!)?
500
Four functions of proteins
What are growth and repair, transportation and storage, regulation of an organism's functions, facilitating chemical reactions, and aiding the immune system?
