5.

You're conducting an investigation where you placed a sealed plastic bag filled with water at 60 degrees into a beaker filled with water that is 80 degrees. Based on the flow of thermal energy what will happen?

a)

Thermal energy will flow from the cooler water in the bag to the warmer water in the beaker and the temp of the water will be 60 degrees and the plastic bag will be 80 degrees.

b)

Thermal energy will flow from the warmer water in the beaker to the cooler water in the bag and the temp of the bag will be 80 degrees and the water will be 60 degrees.

c)

Thermal energy will flow from the warmer water in the beaker to the cooler water in the bag so the temp of both the bag and water will become 70 degrees.

d)

Thermal energy will flow from the cooler water in the bag to the warmer water in the beaker so the temp of both the bag and water will become 70 degrees.

6.

What domain is this specimen from?

a)

Bacteria

b)

Eukarya

c)

Archaea

d)

None of the above

7.

The picture is of a pond ecosystem.

Which of the following describes an organism interacting with a biotic part of the ecosystem?

a)

The eagle is flying through the air.

b)

The cattail plants are absorbing sunlight to make food.

c)

The water lilies are growing in the water.

d)

The turtle is finding shelter in the hollow log.

8.

A student studies a cell under a microscope then draws and labels it. Based on the classification of living things, organisms with this type of cell would belong to which kingdom?

a)

Animalia

b)

Plantae

c)

EuBacteria

d)

Protista

9.

Kingdom 3: Animalia

d)

Kingdom 1: Animalia

Kingdom 2: Protista

Kingdom 3: Plantae

10.

What belongs in boxes labeled J, K, L, and M?

a)

J = organism, K = population, L = community, M = ecosystem

b)

J = individual, K = group, L = neighborhood, M = population

c)

J = organism, K = community, L = population, M = ecosystem

d)

J = species, K = family, L = population, M = community

11.

Archaea and bacteria are two of the three domains used to classify life. What do these two domains have in common?

a)

They both include only eukaryotes.

b)

The both include only prokaryotes.

c)

They both include eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

d)

They both include organisms that are neither eukaryotes nor prokaryotes.

12.

The movement of the crust of Earth is caused by currents inside the Earth.

What type of heat transfer forms these currents in the mantle?

a)

Ocean currents caused by the radiant heating from the sun create the currents in the mantle.

b)

Heat from the sun is conducted into Earth's crust, which causes the crust to expand and contract, creating currents in the mantle.

c)

Air on Earth's surface is heated by radiation from the sun, forming winds that create the currents in the mantle.

d)

Molten rock rises as it is heated by Earth's core and falls as it is cooled by the crust, creating the currents in the mantle.

13.

The six kingdoms in which living organisms are classified are Plantae, Animalia, Protista, Fungi, Archaebacteria, and Eubacteria. The basic characteristics of an organism are used to classify the organism into its respective kingdom. Which of the following characteristics would not be helpful in determining an organism's kingdom classification?

a)

the organism's color

b)

how the organism reproduces

c)

whether the organism is unicellular or multicellular

d)

how the organism gets its energy

14.

Many habitats of living things can be found at the base of a mountain in a forest ecosystem. Birds build nests in trees, bears live in caves, insects inhabit rotting logs, and armadillos build dens beneath the ground surface. Living things interact with the biotic and abiotic parts of their ecosystem. In what way do biotic parts differ from abiotic parts in an ecosystem?

a)

The biotic parts of an ecosystem are the parts on or below the ground. The abiotic parts of an ecosystem are the parts above the ground.

b)

The biotic parts of an ecosystem are the parts above the ground. The abiotic parts of an ecosystem are the parts on or below the ground.

c)

The biotic parts of an ecosystem are the parts that are living things or things that were once alive. The abiotic parts of an ecosystem are the parts that are not living things or things that were once alive.

d)

The biotic parts of an ecosystem are the parts that living things need to stay alive. The abiotic parts of an ecosystem are the parts that living things do not need to stay alive.

15.

b)

Animalia

c)

Protista

d)
