The function of the mitochondria 

What is "produce energy in the form of ATP through cell respiration"?

100

The basic unit of heredity 

What is a gene

100

Natural Selection is... 

Natural selection is the process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.

100

What is an ecosystem

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms and their physical environment interacting as a system.

100

What is Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

200

The structure that controls what comes in and out of cell

What is the cell membrane

200

The genotype of an organism 

genetic makeup of an organism (letters)

200

the father of evolution

What is Charles Darwin

200

the difference between a producer and a consumer

Producers create their own food (like plants), while consumers rely on other organisms for food.

200

the products of cellular respiration

The products are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy).

300

Name one cell between plant and animal cells

What is Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not. 

300

Difference between codominance and incomplete dominance

Codominance- alleles show up together (spots)

Incomplete Dominance- alleles create a new phenotype (blue parent + yellow parent = green parent)

300

the significance of genetic variation in a population

Genetic variation increases the likelihood of a population's survival in changing environments.

300

Define biodiversity

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life in a particular habitat or ecosystem

300

the process of osmosis

 Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

400

The function of ribosomes 

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

400

The purpose of a punnett square

A Punnett square is used to predict the probability of offspring inheriting particular traits from their parents.

400

Speciation...

Speciation is the formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution.

400

the role of decomposers in an ecosystem

Decomposers break down dead organic material, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.

400

the main function of chlorophyll in plants

Chlorophyll captures light energy for photosynthesis.

500

The role of the endoplasmic reticulum

What is the endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids; it can be rough (with ribosomes) or smooth (without ribosomes).


500

the difference between dominant and recessive alleles

 Dominant alleles express their traits even if only one copy is present, while recessive alleles only express their traits if two copies are present.

500

Describe the concept of 'survival of the fittest.'

It refers to the idea that individuals best adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce.


500

What is the primary source of energy in most ecosystems?

producers

500

Explain the importance of enzymes in biological processes.

Enzymes are catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in the body without being consumed in the process.
