100

This is any change in the genetic traits of a population over multiple generations

What is evolution?

100

This is the process that plants do to convert sunlight into chemical energy

What is photosynthesis?

100

This is the flexible layer that surrounds and protects all cells

What is the cell membrane? (Or plasma membrane)

100

This is something that can infect your cells and make you sick, but is not technically considered living because it is not made of cells and cannot reproduce on its own

What is a virus?

200

Individuals with more beneficial traits for their environment are more likely to do these 2 things

What are survive and reproduce?

200

These are the elements found in all macromolecules

What are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen? (Or C, H, and O)

200

This is where proteins are made in all types of cells

What is the ribosome?

200

This is the closest living relative of humans

What are chimpanzees?

300
This is a beneficial trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce in a particular environment

What is an adaptation?

300

This is the name for the large molecules that make up living things

What is a macromolecule?

300

This is the type of cell that has no nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles

What is a prokaryotic cell? (Or prokaryote)

300

This is the process in which the traits of a population change over time due to selective breeding by humans

What is artificial selection?

400

This is the process in which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring, leading to an increase in those traits over generations

What is natural selection?

400

This is the sugar that plants make during photosynthesis, which can then be used to build other macromolecules like proteins and lipids

What is glucose?

400

This is the type of cell that has a nucleus and specialized organelles

What is a eukaryotic cell? (Or eukaryote)

400

This is the percentage of cells in your body that are actually human cells (the rest are bacteria and fungi!)

What is 43%?

500

This can result after a major change in the environment or when parts of a population become separated

What is speciation? (Or the evolution of new species)

500
This is the part of eukaryotic cells where chemical energy is converted to usable energy

What is the mitochondria?

500

This is a structure that protects the DNA in eukaryotic cells

What is the nucleus?

500

This is the percent increase in the price of a cup of coffee that went from $1.20 to $1.44.

What is 20%
