Birds that live in a biome with low temperature December-February (-10 degrees) would most like have this behavioral adaptation.
What is migration?
100
The food chain represents feeding relationships in a lake ecosystem: Algae -> Ameoba -> Water flea -> Minnow -> Bass This organism in the food chain is FEEDING on secondary consumer
What is minnow?
100
This part of the plant contains cells that produce gametes.
What is a flower?

Francesco Redi completed an experiment using meat in sealed and unsealed jars to see if flies appeared trying to disprove this theory.
What is spontaneous generation?
100
If an environment is changing rapidly it would be best if apopulation had a high rate of this.
What is mutation?
200
This type of biome would have large, flat leaves.
What is tropical rainforest?
200
This is common decomposer to rid of dead animals and waste in the environment.
What is a mushroom (fungi, bacteria also ok)?
200
A botanist discovers an organims with the following characteristics: eukaryotic, unicellular, cotnains chlorophyll, reproduces sexually and asexually, mobile with flagella. This organims would classified in this kingdom: Eubacteria, Plantae, Fungi, or Protista
What is protista?
200
This scientist believed that species change over time by a mechanism of natural selection.
Who Charles Darwin
200
This is the order in which organism classified from most to least diverse.
What is kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
300
This type of biome would most likely have small, waxy leaves.
What is a desert?
300
A honey bee gathering nectar from flowers and cross pollinating plants is an example of this type of ecological relationship.
What is mutualism?
300
This method of reproduction is done by bacteria allowing them to grow quickly and in large numbers. vegetative propagation, budding, binary fission, sexual reproduction
What is binary fission?
300
This scientist finally disproved spontaneous generation using a specialized flask.
Who is Louis Pasteur?
300
A species of mice can have brown or white fur, by chance more mice with brown fur are born than with white and over time the population becomes all brown; demonstrating the effect of this on a gene pool
What is genetic drift?
400
An animal in this biome would have thick, insulating fur.
What is a tundra?
400
Nitrogen in the atmosphere is not usable by many organisms so it must go through this process.
What is nitrogen fixation?
400
A scientist find an animal that flies but does not have feathers. Has hair, a four chambered heart, and lays eggs. This would classified as this type of animal: (amphibian, reptile, bird, mammal)
What is a mammal?
400
This scientist thoguht he improved Redi's experiment and proved spontaneous generation, but failed to consider that microorganisms are found in the air.
Who is John Needham?
400
A human arm, a bird's wing, and a whale's flipper are structures look different but perform the same function and considered this.
What is homologous?
500
Singapore is an island country in Asia. Receives 230 cm of rain per year, fairly consistant year round temp of 31 degrees C so is classified as this type of biome.
What is a tropical rainforest?
500
When plants called epiphytes live perched on sturdier plants they do not harm the host plant but simply benefit from having better exposed to sunlihgt and express this type of ecological relationship.
What is commensalism?
500
This organism is MOST likely to reproduce asexually: (sponge, earthworm, lizard, butterfly)
What is a sponge?
500
Thomas Malthus' ideas that showed a struggle for existence suggesting the rate or reproduction of humans would be greater than the resources causing competition led to Darwin coming up with this common phrase in reference to natural selection.
What is "survival of the fittest"?
500
When a food becomes scarce for a type of bird and larger beaks are better to survive than small or average sized beaaks. This is an example of this type of natural selection.
What is directional selection?
