1) The kidney of a dolphin is considered an organ because it is composed of different
A) cells.
B) tissues.
C) organs.
D) molecules.
E) organelles.
2) Which of the following correctly lists the levels of biological organization from most
complex to simplest?
A) cells, organs, tissues, organ systems, organism
B) organism, organ system, organs, tissues, cells
C) tissues, organs, organ systems, organism, cells
D) cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism
E) organ systems, tissues, cells, organism, organs
3) When populations of different types of organisms interact in a given area, they comprise a(n)
A) ecosystem.
B) population.
C) community.
D) biosphere.
E) species.
4) Organisms that transform solar energy into chemical energy are called
A) carnivores.
B) consumers.
C) decomposers.
D) producers.
E) transformers.
,5) Using their lateral line organ, fish can perceive and react to changes in water currents caused
by prey and predators. This is an example of
A) maintaining homeostasis.
B) metabolism.
C) response to the environment.
D) energy regulation.
E) organization.
6) Salmon are born in fresh water but migrate out to marine waters for most of their life.
Eventually, they return to the place they were born to spawn. Because migrating between
fresh water and saltwater affects the balance of water in their body, salmon have evolved an
internal control system called osmoregulation that restores water balance by negative
feedback. This is an example of which characteristic of life?
A) adaptation
B) reproduction and development
C) response to the environment
D) energy transformation
E) maintaining homeostasis
7) Which of the following statement(s) regarding genes is/are true?
A) Genes are made up of DNA.
B) All cells in a multicellular organism contain the same set of genes.
C) Humans receive their DNA/genes from either their mother or their father but not both.
D) Variations in genes are the result of mutations.
E) All organisms such as roses, elephants and mushrooms have the same set of genes.
8) Which of the following pairs of words is matched correctly?
A) bladder - organ
B) neuron - tissue
C) osteocyte - molecule
D) gene - atom
E) heart - organ system
9) Many insects cannot see the color red, and as a result many insect-pollinated flowers are
colors other than red (e.g., purple and yellow). Flower color would be considered a(n)
A) method for maintaining homeostasis.
B) way to maintain metabolism.
C) adaptation.
D) example of energy flow.
E) example of nutrient cycling.
,10) Latonya is an avid gardener who spends a lot of time caring for the plants in her garden. To
minimize damage from pests, Latonya uses a pesticide spray. After a few years of using the
same pesticide spray, she notices that it has become less effective. This is most likely due to

B) not using enough pesticide spray.
C) the plants in the garden evolving.
D) the plants maintaining homeostasis.
E) something else in the environment.
11) All the chemical reactions that occur in a cell are collectively called
A) mitosis.
B) photosynthesis.
C) cellular respiration.
D) meiosis.
E) metabolism.
12) Is the following statement true or false? All single-celled organisms are prokaryotes.

B) true, because all eukaryotes are multicellular
C) false, because some eukaryotes are single-celled
D) false, because some prokaryotes are multicellular
E) false, because all single-celled organisms are eukaryotes
13) All honeycreeper species have a similar size and body shape but vary in beak shapes. This is
an example of
A) ascent with new traits.
B) descent with modification.
C) taxonomic differentiation.
D) fixed traits.
E) modification of adaptations.
14) Based on the evolutionary tree of the three domains, which of the following statements is

B) true, because they are both related to horses
C) false, because the specific epithet is different
D) false, because they have no similarities to each other
E) true, because they belong to the same genus
