Living Environment Unit 1B Review

Which life function uses oxygen and glucose to make ATP?

• Regulation

• Synthesis

• Nutrition

• Respiration

When an organism makes starch from many glucose molecules, this is called:

• homeostasis
• synthesis
• hydrolysis
• mitosis

Which life process prevents the accumulation of wastes?

• excretion
• nutrition
• digestion
• ingestion

Which life function provides substances that organisms need for growth and repair of tissue?

• excretion
• regulation
• nutrition
• reproduction

The processes by which an organism takes materials from the environment and moves them around its cytoplasm is called

• absorption and circulation
• energy release and synthesis
• coordination and regulation
• food processing and energy release

As a result of which process does a plant make chemical substances such as poisions, drugs, and flavorings?

• digestion
• excretion
• synthesis
• respiration

Which life process is indicated by the arrows in the diagram of an amoeba shown below?

• digestion

• excretion

• transport

• fermentation

Energy drinks have become increasingly popular. Some of these drinks contain large amounts of caffeine, which is known to increase heart rates in most individuals. This effect on the heart rate can be dangerous because it can lead to

• a disruption in the absorption of starch

• an imbalance in homeostasis

• an increase in blood volume

• a decrease in oxygen levels

The breathing rate, heart rate, and blood hormone levels of a human would most likely provide information about human

• cellular organization

• inheritance

• nutrition

• metabolism

Which life function provides substances that organisms need for growth and repair of tissue?

• excretion
• regulation
• nutrition
• reproduction
