4 Things living organisms need to survive
Chemical Compounds
Variables and Cells Definitions
100
What is Spontaneous generation?
The belief that living organisms could be created from non living things.
(for example: maggots from rotting meat)
Answer does not have to be exact, just somewhat similar.
100
Choose 1-4 of the following below, and give an example.
-Heterotroph
-Autotroph
-Asexual
-Sexual
(For example: An example of a autotroph is a sunflower)
multiple answers so no direct response
100
Why do living organisms need air to survive?
Living organisms need air to survive because it is the process of converting food into energy.
100
Give an example of lipids and where it can be found in a cell
An example of lipids may be ________ (multiple answer question so no direct answer)
It can be found in cell membranes
100
What is the definition of a controlled variable?
What stays the same
An example is: In Redi's experiment, the jars were a controlled variable
200
What is stimuli?
Any signaling that invokes a functional response
Answer does not have to be exact, just somewhat similar.
200
What is the difference from the energy sources Autotroph vs Heterotroph?
Autotroph: Animals (including humans) are heterotrophs = need to eat food to get energy.
Heterotroph: Plants are autotrophs = make their own food in their leaves, but this needs sunlight.
200
Why do living organisms need Homeostasis to survive?
Living organisms need Homeostasis to survive because it maintains a stable internal environment despite changes in external enviorment. Homeostasis is essential for the survival and proper functioning of living organisms.
200
Give an example of proteins and where it can be found in a cell
An example of proteins may be meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, nuts, broccoli, and chicken. (multiple answer question so no direct answer)
It can be found in cell membranes
200
What is the definition of a independent variable?
what I change on purpose
300
How was spontaneous generation disproved?
By experiments conducted by the two scientists Redi and Pasteur using the scientific method.
They both disbelieved of spontaneous generation and sought out to disprove it by experimenting with rotting meats and maggots/flies, and flask with broth.
Answer does not have to be exact, just somewhat similar.
300
What is the difference between Asexual vs. Sexual?
Asexual: one parent, same DNA, identical offspring
Sexual: two parents, hybrid DNA
300
Why do living organisms need water to survive?
All living things need water to survive. All cells
need water to perform their daily functions.
Water helps dissolve foods, transport nutrients,
take out waste, cause chemical reactions, and
more.
300
Give an example of carbohydrates and where it can be found in a cell.
An example of proteins may be white sugar, candy, potatoes, glucose, fruits, grains, peas. (multiple answer question so no direct answer)
It can be found in the plasma membrane.
300
What is the definition of a dependent variable?
what is the result of
400
Give an example of stimuli and a response to stimuli
Ex: Stimuli: knee is hit with hammer
Reaction: leg kicks out
(multiple answer question so no direct answer)
400
What are the two types of energy sources?
autotroph vs heterotroph
400
Why do living organisms need food to survive?
- Animals (including humans) are heterotrophs = need to eat food to get energy.
- Plants are autotrophs = make their own food in their leaves, but this needs sunlight.
400
Give an example of nucleic acids and where it can be found in a cell
An example of proteins may be meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, seafood, mushrooms. (multiple answer question so no direct answer)
It can be found in the nucleas.
400
What is the definition of a Uni cell and a example of one?
Definition: one cell carries out the functions to stay alive
Example: Bacteria
500
Give an example of homeostasis.
An example of homeostasis may be the human's body temperature rising, so sweat is produced to cool the body down.
multiple answer question, so no direct answer.

What are the chemical compounds?
The chemical compounds are
Lipids
Proteins
Carbohydrates
Nucleic acids
Water (the most abundant and commen chemical)

What is the definition of a Multi cell and a example of one?
Definition: Organisms consisting of many cells. Trillions of cells specialized to do certain tasks.
Example: Octopus
