Which of the following list includes cellular structures found both in plant and animals?
Vacuoles, cell membrane, nucleus, mitochondria
Chloroplasts, cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm
Cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, cell wall
Chloroplasts, vacuoles, cell wall, cytoplasm
According to cell theory, all living things are made of cells that---
grow using energy from sunlight
have cell organelles with specialized functions
move using structures on the cell membranes
come from other living cells
1The nucleus is a round, double walled structure often found in the center of both plant and animal cells. Its function is to –
Contain genetic material (DNA)
Store fat
Generate cytoplasm
Purify water
Justin is a tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed soccer player who likes to cook. Based on the information in the chart, which is an inherited trait from his mother?
blonde hair
blue eyes
his ability to play soccer
his hitch-hiker thumb
Plant cells have a strong, rigid outer layer known as the cell wall. The function of the cell wall is to –
Convert energy from the Sun into chemical energy
Regulate the transfer of material into the cell
Separate the genetic material from the rest of the cell
Help the cell maintain its shape and provide support
Which of the following diagrams represents sexual reproduction?
I and II
I and III
II and III
III and IV
During the Industrial Revolution in England, great forests of Aspen trees were polluted. The typically white trunks of the trees started to darken and turn black due to the soot produced by burning coal. Over time it was observed that the numbers of white moth offspring decreased while the number of darker moth offspring greatly increased. Which statement gives the best explanation for the changes in the moth population?
The white moths also turned black because they were covered in smog, so they were able to camouflage themselves.
The white moths increased in number because their predators were blinded by the stark contrast to the white trunks.
The white moths were unaffected by the change in the tree trunk color because they have no predators.
The dark moth population began to increase because only the darkest of the species could camouflage themselves against the tree trunks.
If an offspring is produced through sexual reproduction, the offspring’s genetic material is always -
A copy of the genetic material of one parent.
identical to the genetic material of its siblings.
A blend of the genetic material of its parents.
completely unrelated to that of its parents.
Charles Darwin studied natural selection in the Galapagos Islands. He found that the finches on each island had different types of beaks. How did all the finches on each different island come to have different types of beaks?
they are different types of birds that have no relation
the finches cannot fly to other islands
the different beaks have adapted to the different types of food on each island
the different beaks have changed over time due to mutation experiments by scientists
A farmer wants to increase the amount of food produced by corn crops. If the farmer selectively breeds the plants, for which trait should the farmer select?
taller stems
deeper roots
more cobs on each plant
resistance to pesticides
The passing of traits from parent to offspring
levels of organization
asexual reproduction
binary fission
heredity
Xylem is a plant tissue made up of elongated cells stacked end to end the length of the plant’s stem making them look like straws. Which function is xylem specifically adapted to perform in plants?
help prevent water loss
exchange gases with the atmosphere
transport water from the roots to leaves
capture sunlight for photosynthesis
Which body system forms a protective barrier between the external environment and the internal body systems?

human ---> lung tissue ---> respiratory system ---> lung---> Lung Cell
Lung Cell ---> lung---> respiratory system ---> lung tissue--->human
respiratory system --->lung --->Lung Cell ---> lung tissue ---> human
The digestive system’s main function is to –
