What is the difference between plant cells and animal cells?
Plant cells have a large vacuole, cell wall, and chloroplast.
What type of response would you have if this room's temperature cooled by 50 degrees?

List the three statements of Cell Theory:
1) Cells are the basic unit of life
2) All living things are made up of one or more cells
3) All new cells come from pre-existing cells
What type of traits do animals in a desert have to help them survive the hot temperatures?
No fur, scales, water reserves, etc.
What is this?
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight = C6H12O6 + 6O2

What is the difference between dominant and recessive traits?
Dominant traits are more likely to be shown during reproduction, while recessive traits are less likely to be shown.
What do herbivores eat? What do carnivores eat? What do decomposers eat?
Herbivores eat plants, carnivores eat other consumers, decomposers eat dead organisms.
List the levels of cell organization from largest to smallest:
Organism, organ system, organs, tissues, and cells
What type of response would occur in a food web if the apex predator would eliminated from the ecosystem?
The prey that the apex predator would hunt population would increase, then their prey's population would decrease.
Explain how photosynthesis gives us and other organisms the required materials to stay alive.
1) turns light energy into consumable food energy
2) turns carbon dioxide we breathe out, into oxygen that we need to breathe in.

0%
Create your own functional food chain.
Ex: Grass, rabbit, snake, hawk, bacteria.
