🧬 The Biology of Life
100
The largest organ in the human body.
What is the skin?
100
This is the largest animal ever to have lived on Earth.
What is the Blue Whale?
100
This type of microorganism can cause diseases such as food poisoning.
What is bacteria?
100
This process allows plants to make glucose using light energy.
What is photosynthesis?
100
This molecule carries the instructions for making proteins.
What is DNA?
200
During exercise, muscles may respire anaerobically and produce this substance.
What is lactic acid?
200
This fish is the largest fish species in the world, despite being a filter feeder that eats tiny organisms.
What is the whale shark?
200
This structure allows many bacteria to move.
What is a flagellum? 
200
This gas enters leaves through stomata after photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?
200
This animal can survive extreme conditions, including radiation, freezing temperatures and even the vacuum of space.
What is a tardigrade (water bear)?
300
This molecule found in red blood cells, that transports oxygen around the body.
What is haemoglobin?
300
This process causes coral to lose its colour when stressed by increased ocean temperatures.
What is coral bleaching?
300
This type of pathogen is not considered living because it cannot reproduce independently.
What is a virus?
300
This tissue transports water from the roots to the leaves.
What is xylem?
300
This type of cell can differentiate into many specialised cell types.
What is a stem cell?
400
A patient has damaged pancreatic cells and cannot produce enough insulin. This disease is caused by a failure to control blood glucose concentration.
What is diabetes (mellitus)?
400
The kingodom of organisms that coral fall under.
What is an animal?
400
This type of white blood cell produces antibodies to destroy pathogens.
What is a lymphocyte?
400
This factor describes how many organisms of one species live in a particular area.
What is population?
400
This animal is the only known mammal capable of true powered flight.
What is a bat?
500
This organelle is the site of anaerobic respiration in human cells.
What is the cytoplasm?
500
This adaptation allows many deep-sea animals to survive where sunlight cannot reach and food is limited.
What is bioluminescence?
500
This is the structure that bacteria can exchange, which can contribute to antibiotic resistance.
What are plasmids?
500
This tree is the tallest living organism on Earth, with some individuals growing over 100 metres tall.
What is the coast redwood?
500
This organelle originated from ancient bacteria that were engulfed by early eukaryotic cells according to the endosymbiotic theory.
What is the mitochondria?
