Heredity and Genetics Test

Front

What are physical features organisms have that increase their chance of survival?

Back

Structural adaptations are physical features that help organisms survive in their environment.

Front

What is an example of a structural adaptation in giraffes?

Back

A giraffe has a long neck to reach food in tall trees, which is a structural adaptation.

Front

What type of transport allows molecules to move across a cell membrane without energy?

Back

Passive transport allows molecules to move across a cell membrane without energy.

Front

What is facilitated diffusion?

Back

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that uses proteins to help move molecules across the cell membrane.

Front

What type of solution causes a cell to swell?

Back

A hypotonic solution causes a cell to swell because water enters the cell.

Front

What are things organisms do to survive called?

Back

Behavioral adaptations are actions organisms take to survive.

Front

What is an example of a behavioral adaptation?

Back

Migration is an example of a behavioral adaptation where animals move to find better living conditions.

Front

What is the difference between structural and behavioral adaptations?

Back

Structural adaptations are physical features, while behavioral adaptations are actions organisms take to survive.

Front

What happens to a cell in a hypertonic solution?

Back

In a hypertonic solution, a cell loses water and shrinks.

Front

What is an isotonic solution?

Back

An isotonic solution has the same concentration of solutes as the cell, resulting in no net movement of water.
