This organelle is known as the “control center” of the cell because it contains DNA.

The Nucleus

Only about this percent of energy passes from one trophic level to the next.

A warm air mass slowly pushing over a cold air mass creates this type of front.

A Warm Front

100

This subatomic particle has a positive charge and is found in the nucleus.

A proton

This universal force states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.

Inertia (or Newton's First Law)

200

This organelle uses sunlight to make food through photosynthesis.

The Chloroplast

200

This type of succession would most likely occur after a forest fire because the soil is still present.

Secondary Succession

200

This atmospheric process traps heat near Earth’s surface and is necessary for life in normal amounts.

The Greenhouse Effect

200

The atomic number of an element tells you the number of these particles in an atom.

Protons

This law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Newton's 3rd law of motion

A student observes an organism with one dominant brown fur allele and one recessive white fur allele. What fur color will the organism most likely have?

Brown Fur

300

Competition, predation, and disease are all examples of these types of limiting factors.

Density-dependent factors

300

Warm air masses usually create this type of pressure system because warm air rises.

Low pressure system

A substance with a pH of 2 would be described as this.

Acidic

In an experiment, the variable that is purposely changed by the scientist is called this.

The Independent variable 
400

This organelle acts like the cell's "security gate" by controlling what enters and leaves the cell.

The Cell Membrane

400

This type of dispersion occurs when organisms are grouped together because resources are concentrated in certain areas.

Clumped dispersion

400

This property describes how much sunlight a surface reflects.

Albedo

400

This type of bond forms when atoms share electrons.

A covalent bond

400

This formula is used to calculate force.

F=ma

A rabbit has the genotype Bb, where B is a dominant allele for black fur and b is a recessive allele for white fur. This visible fur color would be called this.

A Phenotype

500

These organisms are known for being pioneer species during primary succession (list two!)

Mosses and Lichen

500

Name two things that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Possible answers: Plants (photosynthesis), Oceans, Soil

This periodic group is known for commonly bonding with the alkali metals.

The Halogens

A student wants to test how the acidity of water affects plant growth. This would be the control group for this experiment.

Normal/Pure water (balanced pH of 7)
