Cells & Organelles
•This organelle is known as the 'powerhouse of the cell' because it produces energy.
•What is the mitochondria?
I am the molecule that carries genetic instructions in all living things.
What is DNA?
This scientist proposed the theory of natural selection.
Who is Charles Darwin?
An organism that makes its own food using sunlight is called this.
What is a producer?
The broadest category in the classification system is called this.
What is a kingdom?
This structure controls all cell activities and contains genetic material
What is the nucleus?
A trait that appears when you have even one copy of the allele is this type of trait.
What is dominant?
The gradual change in a species over time is called this.
What is evolution?
The movement of energy from the sun through producers, consumers, and decomposers is called this.
What is a food chain?
The six kingdoms of life are Archaea, Bacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and this.
What is Animalia?
I am found only in plant cells and help the plant stand up straight.
What is the cell wall?
I am a section of DNA codes for a specific trait.
What is a gene?
An organism's traits that help it survive and reproduce in its environment are called this
What is adaptation?
This biome has four seasons and is dominated by deciduous trees.
What is a temperate forest?
This kingdom contains organisms that are single-celled, lack a nucleus, and are often found in extreme environments like hot springs.
What is Archaea?
I break down waste and dead cell material.
What is the lysosome?
If both parents have brown eyes but their child has blue eyes, the blue eye allele must be this.
What is recessive?
The process by which organisms with beneficial traits are more likely to survive and pass those traits to offspring is called this.
What is natural selection?
This biome has the most biodiversity and receives heavy rainfall year-round
What is a tropical rainforest?
I am the most specific classification category that groups organisms together.
What is a species?
I am the organelle that helps maintain homeostasis?
What is the cell membrane
I am a diagram used to predict the offspring of two parents.
What is a Punnett square?
The sequence of fossils in rock layers that show how organisms have changed over time is called this?
What are fossil record?
The percentage of energy transferred from one level to the next in a food chain is about this much.
What is 10%?
Organisms in this kingdom are multicellular, have cell walls made of chitin, and get energy by breaking down dead organisms.
What is Fungi?
