In order, these are the two parts of the classification system used in writing scientific names.
What are genus and species?
100
This term means "made of one cell".
What is unicellular?
100
This term means "made of two or more cells".
What is multicellular?
100
Uses light and one lens to enlarge an image.
What is a simple light microscope?
100
A microscope that focuses a beam of electrons onto an object that is being magnified.
What is a scanning electron microscope (SEM)?
200
A categorization system using a series of two-answer questions.
What is a dichotomous key?
200
The smallest unit of life.
What is a cell?
200
True or false: There is no limit to homeostasis. *CORRECT ANSWER WILL RECEIVE AN EXTRA 200 POINTS*
What is false?
200
Uses two lenses and light to magnify the image of an object.
What is a compound light microscope?
200
A way of classifying organisms that uses all the evidence known about organisms.
What is systematics?
300
A branched diagram that shows the relationship between different organisms.
What is a cladogram?
300
An organism's ability to maintain steady internal functions.
What is homeostasis?
300
Adding cells and/or increasing cell size.
What is growth/development?
300
The lens of a microscope that comes closest to the human eye.
What is the Ocular Lens?
300
The two-word system used to write scientific names.
What is binomial nomenclature?
400
These are the names of the domains.
What are Bacteria, Archea, and Eukarya?
400
Signals from within an organism that alert the organism to changes in homeostasis; hunger and thirst are examples of these.
What are internal stimuli?
400
Having specialized structures with specialized functions.
What is organization?
400
The type of microscope that focuses a beam of electrons through an object.
What is a transmission electron microscope (TEM)?
400
The name of the man who used domains to classify things.
Who is Linneaus?
500
These are the names of the kingdoms.
What are Bacteria, Archaea, Plantae, Animalia, Protista, and Fungi?
500
These are the characteristics of living organisms.
What are organization, growth and development, reproduction, obtaining/using energy, response to stimuli, and homeostasis?
500
Changes in the environment that effect an organism; sweating and shivering are examples of responses to these types of changes.
What are external stimuli?
500
The lens in a compound light microscope that is closest to the object/specimen being magnified.
What is the objective lens?
500
The name of the part of a microscope on which the slide sits.
What is the stage?
