About

This quiz covers fundamental concepts in biology focusing on cellular processes, homeostasis, and body systems, making it appropriate for high school freshmen and sophomores (grades 9-10). Students need a solid understanding of cellular respiration and its stages (glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain), including the specific locations where these processes occur within the cell and the energy yields from each pathway. The content requires knowledge of homeostasis mechanisms, particularly negative and positive feedback loops, and how body systems work together during physical activity like running. Students must comprehend the structure and function of biological macromolecules (proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids), membrane transport processes (diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, and active transport), and tonicity effects on cells. The quiz also assesses understanding of experimental design principles including dependent and independent variables, control groups, and hypothesis formation, which are essential scientific reasoning skills at this level. Created by Heather Kroeger, a Biology teacher in US who teaches grade 9-10. This comprehensive review quiz serves multiple instructional purposes, functioning effectively as a unit assessment, homework assignment, or extensive review session before a major test on cellular biology and homeostasis. Teachers can utilize this quiz to gauge student mastery across multiple biological concepts simultaneously, making it particularly valuable for formative assessment to identify knowledge gaps before summative evaluation. The breadth of topics covered makes it ideal for helping students make connections between cellular processes, body systems, and experimental methodology. This assessment aligns with Next Generation Science Standards HS-LS1-3 (cellular respiration and photosynthesis), HS-LS1-2 (feedback mechanisms in biological systems), and Science and Engineering Practice standards for experimental design and data analysis. The quiz format supports differentiated instruction, allowing students to work at their own pace while reinforcing critical vocabulary and conceptual understanding essential for success in advanced biology coursework.

The graph shows how pulse rate changes with exercise.Which of the following best explains how body systems worked together to create the results shown on the graph?

As the body is able to exercise using the musculoskeletal system, the circulatory system pumps more blood and oxygen throughout the body. The respiratory system takes in more oxygen from the environment and releases carbon dioxide.

As the body breaks down food using the digestive system, the nervous system communicates that the body needs to prevent weight gain by exercising using the musculoskeletal system.

As the body uses its excretory system to eliminate wastes, the digestive system takes in more nutrients used by the endocrine system for growth and development.

As the body’s nervous and endocrine systems are stimulated by exercise, the body’s circulatory system is less able to regulate body temperature.
