a(n)
ecosystem.
population.

Using their lateral line organ, fish can perceive and react to changes in water
currents causedby prey and predators. This is an example of
maintaining homeostasis.
metabolism.
response to the environment.
energy regulation.
organization.
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 aninternal control system called osmoregulation that
restores water balance by negative feedback. This is an example of which
characteristic of life?
adaptation
reproduction and development
response to the environment
energy transformation
maintaining homeostasis
Which of the following statement(s) regarding genes is/are true?
Genes are made up of DNA.
All cells in a multicellular organism contain the same set of genes.
Humans receive their DNA/genes from either their mother or their father but not
both.
Variations in genes are the result of mutations.
All organisms such as roses, elephants and mushrooms have the same set of
genes.
Which of the following pairs of words is matched correctly?
bladder - organ
neuron - tissue
osteocyte - molecule
gene - atom
heart - organ system

Many insects cannot see the color red, and as a result many insect-pollinated
flowers arecolors other than red (e.g., purple and yellow). Flower color would be
considered a(n)
method for maintaining homeostasis.
way to maintain metabolism.
adaptation.
example of energy flow.
example of nutrient cycling.
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
evolution by natural selection.
not using enough pesticide spray.
the plants in the garden evolving.
the plants maintaining homeostasis.
something else in the environment.
All the chemical reactions that occur in a cell are collectively called
mitosis.
photosynthesis.
cellular respiration.
meiosis.
metabolism.
Is the following statement true or false? All single-celled organisms are prokaryotes.
true, because prokaryotes are the simplest cell form
true, because all eukaryotes are multicellular
false, because some eukaryotes are single-celled
false, because some prokaryotes are multicellular
false, because all single-celled organisms are eukaryotes

All honeycreeper species have a similar size and body shape but vary in beak
shapes. This isan example of
ascent with new traits.
descent with modification.
taxonomic differentiation.
fixed traits.
modification of adaptations.
Based on the evolutionary tree of the three domains, which of the following
statements istrue?
All three domains have a common ancestor.
Domain Bacteria and domain Eukarya are more closely related to each
other than todomain Archaea.
The Eukarya have remained the same throughout evolutionary time.
All three domains are equally related to one another.
The Eukarya are the common ancestor to the three domains.
Which of the following can be categorized as prokaryotic?
domain Eukarya
kingdom Plantae
kingdom Protista
domain Bacteria
kingdom Animalia
Is the following statement true or false? The scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris) and the black
pine (
Pinus nigra) belong to the same species.
true, because they both start with Equus
true, because they are both related to horses
false, because the specific epithet is different
false, because they have no similarities to each other
true, because they belong to the same genus

Miguel keeps a red worm bin in his basement because the worms need cooler
temperatures tosurvive. He feeds them about one pound of kitchen scraps each
week. One summer the temperatures rose above the optimal temperature for the red
worms (~ 85°F) and many in his colony died. However, the worms that survived
continued to reproduce and within six months his colony was thriving again. The
following summer, unusually warm temperatures once again resulted in the
basement temperatures rising above 85°F. Surprisingly, Miguel noticed that only a
small portion of the worm colony died. What is the best explanation for the higher
survivorship rate?
After the first summer, a new species of worm evolved.
The worms sensed that the temperature was going to be hot in the future
and alteredtheir physiology.
The worms learned how to tolerate higher temperatures.
The worms that survived the first summer had a higher heat tolerance and
passed thistrait on to their offspring.
Temperature and worm survival are not related.
