This kingdom includes multicellular organisms that use chloroplast to undergo photosynthesis?
What is the plant kingdom?
100
The process by which organisms with traits best suited to their environment survive and reproduce, passing on their traits to the next generation?
What is natural selection?
100
The preserved remains or traces of an organism that lived in the past?
What is a fossil?
100
The broadest level of taxonomy
What is Domain?
100
A trait or behavior that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment?
What is an adaptation?
100
This is why a dichotomous key called “dichotomous”
What is each step presents two opposing choices to guide identification?
(A series of paired statements)
200
These extremophiles love hot springs, deep-sea hydrothermal vents, salt lakes, and areas with high salinity. 
What is Archaebacteria?
200
This is a technique used to hide or blend in with surroundings.
What is camouflage?
200
The type of rock fossils are most commonly found in?
What is sedimentary rock?
200
List the seven levels of classification from broadest to most specific?
What are Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species?
200
This is why birds on the Galapagos islands evolved to have different types of beaks.
What is each species of Darwin’s finches evolved a beak shape suited to the type of food available in their environment (e.g., sharp beaks for insects, thick beaks for seeds).?
200
This is bird W
What is the Geospiza?
300
Fungi and Plant cells both contain this extracellular feature that helps to maintain structural rigidity.
What is a cell wall?
300
A rabbit population lives in an area with cold winters. Some rabbits have thick fur, while others have thin fur. Over time, the thick-furred rabbits become more common. Why?
What is the thick-furred rabbits had a survival advantage in the cold, so they passed their genes on to offspring?
300
This forms when minerals fill the mold and create a replica of the original organism?
What is a cast fossil?
300
This is an organism's scientific name (binomial nomenclature).
What is the two word naming system composed of their Genus and species?
300
Why might a population of insects develop resistance to a pesticide over time?
What is some insects have a genetic mutation that makes them resistant, allowing them to survive and pass on the resistance trait to future generations?
300
This is the identity of leaf A
What is a Magnolia leaf?
400
This describes the cell type(s) for Fungi?
What is multicellular or unicellular?
400
This is why genetic variation is important for the survival of a species?
What is genetic variation increases the chances that some individuals in a population will have traits that help them survive environmental changes?
400
This explains how fossils are arranged in soil layers based on their complexity and evolutionary history?
What is older less complex (less evolved) species are towards the bottom, while younger, more complex (more evolved) species are towards the top?
400
This is what archaebacteria and eubacteria have in common
What is that they are both prokaryotic, unicellular, and have no nucleus?
400
A species of fish is split into two separate populations by a newly formed river. Over thousands of years, they develop different traits and can no longer interbreed.
What is geographic isolation?
400
Identify fish J
What is a trumpet fish?
500
Scientists discover a microscopic organism that contains a nucleus, has a cell wall, and uses photosynthesis. To which kingdom does it most likely belong?
What is the Protist kingdom?
500
Explain how antibiotic resistance in bacteria is an example of evolution by natural selection.
What is bacteria with resistance genes survive antibiotic treatment and reproduce, passing on resistance traits, leading to a population that is harder to kill?
500
Explain the type of fossil in the image.
Trace fossils provide evidence of animal activity such as such as footprints, burrows, or nests.
500
This is the relationship of organisms A & B. 
What is organisms A and B share a common ancestor?
500
What makes this Physarum polycephalum particularly interesting to scientists studying intelligence and behavior?
What is it can navigate its environment, optimize for efficiency, and exhibit problem-solving abilities without a brain or nervous system?
500
This is the identity of fish B
What is a spotted goat fish?
