If a reaction occurs in a sealed container and a gas is produced, this happens to the total mass shown on a scale.

mass stays the same, no change in mass

100

This cell structure is "selectively permeable," meaning it chooses which molecules can enter or exit the system.

cell membrane

100

This body system is responsible for the removal of liquid waste (urea) and filtering the blood.

excretory system

100

This is the main genetic advantage that sexual reproduction has over asexual reproduction.

genetic variation (or diversity) in offspring, can adapt to a changing environment 

100

These are the three necessary "inputs" (reactants) for the process of photosynthesis.

light, water, carbon dioxide

200

When thermal energy is added substance, the particles move in this way.

faster, further apart, less intermolecular attraction

200

Levels of biological organization in order from smallest to largest

cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism

200

type of nerve that receives stimuli from the organisms surroundings

sensory receptors/sensory neurons

200

This is the main genetic advantage that asexual reproduction has over sexual reproduction.  

quicker, no need to find mate, exact copy of parent (if environment is stable)

200

This gas is a specific chemical "waste product" of cellular respiration that plants then use for photosynthesis.

carbon dioxide

300

This type of reaction absorbs energy from its surroundings, often causing the temperature to drop.

endothermic

300

This specific organelle contains digestive enzymes to break down waste and "clean up" the cell.

lysosome
300

When designing a prosthetic limb, the need for the limb to be "lightweight" is a criterion, while the "limited budget of $500" is this

constraint

300

In a Punnett Square, if one parent is homozygous dominant and the other is homozygous recessive this is the percentage of offspring that will be heterozygous.

100%

food web

400

When two clear liquids are mixed and a solid "precipitate" forms, this is the best evidence that this type of change occurred.

chemical reaction

400

The organelle that uses the code in genetic material to synthesize proteins

ribosomes

400

These two body systems must interact to provide oxygen to your muscles during a long-distance run.

respiratory and circulatory systems

400

These segments of DNA located on chromosomes code for specific proteins.

genes

400

A producer in this ecosystem

phytoplankton and ice algae

500

Using computational thinking, if the reactants side of an equation has 4 atoms of Oxygen, the products side must have this many atoms of Oxygen to be balanced.

500

the organelle that performs photosynthesis

chloroplast

500

This process describes how food molecules are rearranged through chemical reactions to provide the building blocks for an organism's growth.

metabolism

500

This is the specific three-step "pathway" or sequence that explains how a physical trait (like hair color) actually appears in an organism, starting from the instructions in the nucleus.

Gene -> Protein -> Trait

(DNA accepted)

500

This type of respiration produces the least amount of energy from a glucose molecule because it happens without oxygen.

anaerobic respiration/fermentation
