Quiz on Biological Concepts and Biomes

What is the definition of atoms in the biological hierarchy?

• Tiny machines inside cells with special jobs.

• The tiniest building blocks of everything, made of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

• Huge molecules built from many smaller ones.

• Groups of atoms that bond together.

How do macromolecules lead to organelles?

• Macromolecules bond to form atoms.

• Macromolecules respond to environmental changes.

• Macromolecules provide quick energy.

• Macromolecules work together to build structures like tiny machines inside cells.

What is the role of cells in the hierarchy, and how do they emerge from organelles?

• Cells are huge chains of molecules; organelles team up to allow cells to live independently.

• Organelles bond to form molecules.

• Cells are the basic units of life; organelles working together create life-like properties.

• Organelles provide energy.

How do tissues lead to the next level (organs)?

• Organs are groups of one type of tissue.

• Tissues are groups of similar cells; different tissues combine to form organs.

• Tissues include all cells in the body and make up organ systems.

• Tissues transmit signals throughout the body.

What is the definition of organ systems, and how do they emerge from organs?

• Organ systems are groups of organs working together to perform body functions.

• Organs which have the same functions come together to form organ systems.

• Organs are the smallest living things in the body.

• Organs in the same area of the body come together to form organ systems.

What are populations?

• Groups of animals that all live together.

• All living things in a specific area interacting.

• They include all living and non-living things in a particular area.

• Groups of the same species in an area that interbreed.

How do ecosystems lead to biomes?

• Ecosystems include communities and the physical environments.

• Ecosystems are all the organisms that live together.

• Ecosystems are what make up the biosphere.

• A single population and the environment they live in make up the ecosystem.

What is "Patterns"?

• Figuring out why something happens by studying reasons.

• Noticing repeating shapes, events, or behaviors that help group things and ask questions.

• Thinking about how parts work together.

• Understanding how size or amount affects how something works.

Based on this example: "Studying why a bird's curved beak allows it to sip nectar from flowers," which CCC is being described?

• Cause and Effect.

• Systems and System Models.

• Structure and Function.

• Energy and Matter.

Guess the CCC from this example: "Observing how energy from the sun flows into plants and then to animals that eat them, limiting what the system can do."

• Patterns.

• Scale, Proportion, and Quantity.

• Stability and Change.

• Energy and Matter.
