What does the word "terrestrial" mean?
On land
100
What kind of water is in marine ecosystems?
Salt water

What does it mean for an organism to be unicellular?
It has one cell that performs all of life's processes
100
Define a multicellular organism
An organism that contains many specialized cells that each have a specific function. They work together to complete all of life's processes.
100
Where do all plants get their energy from? What is the process called?
The sun; photosyntesis
200
The following animals are most commonly found in which biome?
Fox, squirrel, moose, deer, and rabbits
Deciduous Forest

What is the difference between a salt marsh and an estuary?
A salt marsh is typically found near an estuary. Salt marshes have more plants and are more "swampy" than estuaries. Both contain salt and fresh water.

Some of these unicellular organisms can carry viruses, but some can be beneficial to your health.
Bacteria
200
Are plants multicellular? Why or why not?
Yes, they have many different cells that have specialized functions.

What would be the first thing to happen if the mouse population decreased drastically?
The owl population would also decrease
300
The following plants are found in which biome?
Pine, spruce, fern
Taiga
300
Which aquatic ecosystem would contain the following animals?
turtle, frog, newt, beaver, muskrat
Ponds

This unicellular organism gets its energy from the sun and is often found in or near aquatic ecosystems.
Algae

A single celled organism can do everything that a multicelled organism can do except for:
Reproduce
Specialize
Use energy
Make protein
Specialize

What would happen to the grasshopper population if the owl population increases?
The grasshopper population would decrease.
400
Which biome has the following characteristics?
Wide open spaces, large animals, flat, and relatively warm.
Grasslands
400
Explain why more animals live near the surface of the water than in very deep water.
They need to be closer to the sun for warmth and the sun provides energy for the plants that the fish eat.
400
This unicellular organism is a decomposer.
bacteria
400
Why do humans require many different types of cells to survive?
Human cells are specialized and work independently to perform different functions.
400
Which animals are the primary consumers in the following food web? 
Mice, Grasshopper, Rabbit
500
What is a capybara and which ecosystem is it found in?
The largest rodent
Rainforest
500
What type of water is found where a river flows into the ocean?
Brackish water (a mix of salt water and fresh water)
500
This unicellular organism feeds on sugars and then produces a gas that causes bubbles.
Yeast
500
How are single celled and multi celled organisms similar?
They both need food for energy and growth

Determine whether each animal is a herbivore, omnivore, or carnivore.
Herbivores: Grasshoppers, mice, rabbits
Omnivores: Birds
Carnivores: Fox, Owls
