This organelle controls all of the cells activities and contains the genetic information (DNA).

Nucleus

This term describes all of the excess water that flows across a surface, often picking up debris and trash..

Runoff

200

This organelle acts as a storage center for the cell, storing water and nutrients.

Vacuole

This body system provides protection for the inside of the body and also regulates the internal body temperature:

Integumentary system

These organelles are present in plant cells and NOT in animal cells:

Chloroplasts

Cell wall

Large vacuole instead of many small ones

300

This body system secretes hormones needed to regulate homeostasis for the body.

The endocrine system

300

This term describes the physical expression of a gene

Phenotype

Chloroplasts are organelles that are capable of performing photosynthesis. What 3 things are needed for this process to occur?

Carbon Dioxide, Water, and Radiant Energy

400

This body system is responsible for creating red blood cells:

Skeletal system

Complete the following offspring cross to determine what percentages of offspring would have blue eyes & Brown eyes:

B = Brown

b = Blue

BB x Bb

0% would have blue eyes

100% would have brown eyes

400

This word describes an organism that cannot make its own food:

Heterotroph

How can you determine if two rivers are part of the same watershed?

If they drain to the same end location, they are part of the same watershed

500

The three parts to the cell theory are:

All living things are made up of one or more cells

All cells come from preexisting cells

The cell is the basic unit of all life

500

These two body systems work together to provide oxygen to the entire body:

Respiratory and circulatory

If the tertiary consumer receives 300 Kcal of energy how much is stored at the primary consumer level?

30,000 Kcal of energy

What is a lichen's role in ecological succession?

Lichens start primary succession by breaking down rock into soil for other producers to grow.
