Title, X and Y axis, lables, point of origin, scale
200
a group of organisms that can mate to produce fertile offspring.
Species

Which type of symbiotic relationship benefits one organisms and harms the other? Provide an example.Parasitism
Tick and an animal Tapeworm, human

The process of becoming adapted to the environment.
Adaptation

What is the difference between pesticides and herbicides?
pesticides- chemicals that are used to kill/ harm bugs, insects Herbicided- chemicals used to kill/harm unwanted vegetation i.e. plants.
300
What are two other names for the problem in the Scientific Method?
Purpose, research question, problem statement
300
What is the difference between a food chain and a food web?
Food web- simple way to show energy transfer between organisms Food web- complex way to show energy transfer between many organisms.
300
What are three characteristics that differentiate one biome from another?
Plants, Animals and climate
300
What are the differences between herbivores, carnivores and omnivores? Give one example each.
herbivores: organisms that eat only plants, grasses (cow, deer) Carnivore: organisms that eat only meat ( wolves, alligators) Omnivores: organisms that eat plants and animals (Humans)
300
What is the primary source for all organisms?
sun
400
. Name two types of graphs. When and why is it necessary to have a key.
line, bar, Pie, scatter plot Key: When comparing two or more variables? to show the relationship between the variables

What are decomposers? How do they return nutrients to the environment?
Organisms that feed off dead organisms. They return nutrients to the environment.
400
What are the difference between commensalism and mutualism?
Commensalism _ one organisms benefits the other is neither harmed nor helped Mutualism- both organisms benfit
400
What is the difference between a consumer and a producer? Provide two examples each?
Consumers- organisms that obtain energy from eating other organisms ( humans, deer, dogs) Producers: organisms that make their own food by the sun (plant, trees, flowers)

Father of evolution, English naturalists, traveled to the Galapagos Islands, Studied organisms, Finches, concluded that organisms evolve over time how they adapt to the environment.
Who was Charles Darwin? What did he study and what were his conclusions?
500
What is the difference between a dependent variable and an independent variable? Identify the IV. and the DV in this statement. Does the amount of oxygen affect the rate of crab reproduction?
Dependent Variable is depended on the independent variable it changes and is manipulated by the Independent variable. Independent variable stands alone. IV: Amount of Oxygen DV: Crab reproduction

What is photosynthesis? Name one of the products of this reaction.
Photosynthesis- process in which plants use light energy to convert into chemical energy Products: oxygen, sugar,
500
Explain how organisms evolve to adapt to an ecological catastrophe? Like an earthquake.
Some organisms will die, those who survive will adapt biologically and produce offspring that will survive.
500
Construct a energy pyramid. Include the terms, primary consumer, secondary consumer, producer and tertiary consumer.
Illustrate on board

What is cellular respiration? How does it differ from Photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration is when organisms obtain energy from food. It is the opposite of photosynthesis. The products of photosynthesis are the starting reactants to cellular respiration. 6CO2 + 6H2O + Solar energy _______ C6H1206 + 602
