Front

What is evidence for evolution?

Back

Evidence for evolution includes fossils, DNA comparisons, and comparisons of embryos. Acquired characteristics are NOT considered evidence.

True or False: Ecosystems that have more space allow for more species to coexist, increasing biodiversity.

Back

True

Front

In which type of cells does respiration occur?

Back

Respiration occurs in all cells.

Front

What is a fossil?

Back

A fossil is the preserved remains or traces of a once-living organism.

Front

What is the role of DNA comparisons in evolution?

Back

DNA comparisons help scientists understand the genetic similarities and differences between species, providing evidence for common ancestry.

Front

What is logistic growth?

Back

Logistic growth is a population growth pattern that starts exponentially but slows as the population reaches carrying capacity.

Front

What is a predator?

Back

A predator is an organism that hunts and eats other organisms (prey) for food.
