The sphere which is characterized by all the living things on Earth

What is the biosphere?

100

This process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and uses sunlight to make energy in plants

What is photosynthesis?

100

True or False: a dichotomous key can be used to identify any animal or organism

What is false?

100

These are the three different types of adaptations animals can have.

What are behavioral, physiological, and structural adaptations?

100

This is the maximum potential for growth of a population under ideal conditions and unlimited resources.

What is intrinsic growth rate?
200

This type of data is characterized by the qualities and description of something which is gathered using the senses

What is qualitative data?
200

This process of the water cycle describes water seeping into the ground after it rains.

What is percolation?

200

This classification is the most inclusive.

What is domain?
200

This evidence of evolution shows small changes in organisms over time. The evidences are found as imprints in rocks.

What is the fossil record?

200
This type of selection describes animals which have a large number of offspring, low parenting support, and early maturity.

What is r-selected species?

300

This biome is characterized by very cold winters with average rain fall of 7-25 inches per year. It is located in the subarctic.

What is the boreal forest/taiga?

300
This type of heat energy transfer occurs through indirect contact.

What is convection?

300
This type of name is the typical name used for a animal. Ex. dog, dolphin, lion

What is the common name ?

300

This evidence of evolution shows how animals in different continents have similar decent.  

What is biogeography?

300

This type of survivorship curve describes k-selected species.

What is type 1 survivorship curve?
400
This biome is characterized by the presence of permafrost in the soil.
What is the tundra?
400

This process of the nitrogen cycle occurs when nitrates are taken in by the plant's roots.

What is assimilation?

400
The order of the classification system follows this order.

What is domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species?

Dumb King Philip Came Over For Green Spaghetti 

400

Migration is this type of adaptation.

What is behavioral adaptation?

400
This is the pioneer species of primary succession.

What are lichens?

500

This type of biome is characterized by changing leaf color with cool winters and mild summers. The average temperature ranges from -22F - 86F with yearly rainfall between 30-60 inches

What is the deciduous forest?

500

This process of the carbon cycle occurs when plants and animals release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.

What is respiration?
500
These two classifications are used to make the binomial naming system.
What are genus and species?
500

This type of evidence of evolution uses the same structure in different animals to show relatedness.

What are homologous structures?

500

These are the two ways a population can change in number.

What are births/death and immigration/emigration
