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

a)

Plant cells have ribosomes.

b)

Plant cells lack centrioles.

c)

Plants cells have a cell wall.

d)

Plant cells have chloroplasts.

e)

Plant cells have a cell membrane.

2.

a)

prokaryote

b)

cell wall

c)

unicellular

d)

peptidoglycan

3.

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?

a)

bb x bb

b)

Bb x Bb

c)

BB x BB

d)

BB x bb

4.

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.

a)
