Name one lab safety procedure to follow when heating a test tube. 
Wear goggles, have the tube pointed away from your face, wear gloves, tie hair back, do not cork the test tube.

What is the difference between a prokaryote and a eukaryote?
Prokaryotes (No) do not have a nucleus
Eukaryotes do have a nucleus
Prokaryotes = Bacteria
Eukaryotes= Protists, plants, animals, fungi

a. asexual
b. sexual
c. seed
d. fish
a. asexual

What shows you how prey/predators interact with one another in an ecosystem.
Food webs and chains
300
Which type of graph would you use to show change over time?
Line Graph

Where does protein synthesis occur?
Ribosome

Name one organelle plant cells have, but animal cells do not.
Cell wall & chloroplast
300
What animal lays amniotic eggs, is exothermic and has scaly skin?
Reptiles
300
The kidney collects wastes from the blood and rids it from the body. Which two systems work together to perform this function?
Circulatory and Excretory
300
A single strawberry plant can produce long stems called runners. When runners reach open ground, they can grow roots and develop into a new strawberry plant. This is an example of what type of reproduction?
asexual reproduction
300
When moving up an energy pyramid, where does the energy go that does not go up to the next level
It is lost as heat
400
A student wants to find out which type of plant food makes the grass grow the tallest. He/she tries three different types of plant food and measures the grass height every day at the same time.
What is the DEPENDENT (responding) variable in this experiment?
Plant height
400

What are the products of photosynthesis?
Raw materials: Carbon dioxide and water
Products: Oxygen and glucose
400
What type of animal has fur or hair, and feeds their young with milk produced in their mammary glands?
Mammals

What two body systems get you the raw materials you need for cellular respiration?
Digestive = Glucose
Respiratory = Oxygen
400
What is it called when an organism changes to survive better in a changing environment?
adaptation
400
What will increase the stability of an ecosystem?
Increase in biodiversity
Increase in different species
Increase in genetic diversity among organisms
500
In an experiment looking at how different amounts of water affect plant growth, name at least 3 control variables.

Sweating while you are running a marathon is an example of what?
Your body maintaining homeostasis.

Tell me how the circulatory system and the respiratory system work together to maintain homeostasis in the body.
The respiratory system takes in oxygen, the circulatory system circulates it through out your body.
