Avery and Anika are studying plant and animal cells in their biology class. They learn that both types of cells are eukaryotic, containing organelles and a nucleus with DNA. However, they also discover that plant and animal cells have differences due to their specialized functions.
What differentiates plant cells from animal cells?
CHOOSE THREE
Plant cells have ribosomes.
Plant cells lack centrioles.
Plants cells have a cell wall.
Plant cells have chloroplasts.
Plant cells have a cell membrane.
Kai and Zoe are comparing and contrasting two of the biological domains using a Venn diagram. These two domains have several characteristics in common. What characteristic could you NOT add to "C"?
prokaryote
cell wall
unicellular
peptidoglycan
Ava and James are breeding mussels. In mussels, the allele for brown coloring (B) is dominant, and the allele for blue coloring (b) is recessive. For which parental genotypes are 100% of the offspring expected to be blue?
bb x bb
Bb x Bb

BB x bb
Elijah and Abigail are studying a local ecosystem. Based on the food web, correctly predict how changes in the number of a certain species affect the balance of the ecosystem. Choose each correct statement by clicking on the sentence.
If the number of rabbits increased, the number of grasshoppers increases.
If the number of snakes increased, the number of rabbits decreases.
If the number of rabbits increased, the number of insect-eating birds decreases.
If the number of hawks increased, the number of grasshoppers increases.
If the number of hawks increased, the amount of grass increases.
Aiden and Abigail are studying a typical coastal Maine food web. Predict which species would see the greatest decline in energy availability if fishermen removed the majority of the large piscivorous fish population.
