Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Produce seeds without flowers. They include conifers (cone-bearers) and cycads.






2. High temperatures

4. A hydrogen bond involves the ________________ and can be easily broken.






5. Is weaker than ionic - covalent - disulfide - or double bonds.






6. Engages in both passive and active transport.






7. Is a protein - which is a polymer of amino acids. They generally have the suffix -ase- like lactase.






8. Biotic (living) factors such as population and food source - and abiotic (non-living) factors such as weather - temperature - soil features - sunlight).






9. A length of DNA (with corresponding histones) is responsible for the production of a certain protein that causes a particular trait to be expressed in an organism.






10. The total amount of genetic information available for a given species.






11. The solid mass of cells resulting from the cleavage of the ovum before the formation of a blastula.






12. Energy transformations that occur as chemicals are broken down or synthesized within the cell.






13. Is the organelle where cellular reproductive processes occur.






14. The large brain and upright posture of Homo Sapiens...






15. All store energy within their chemical bonds.






16. Most chemical pollutants accidentally ingested by humans are __________ - mixed with broken down pigments in the bile - then bile is secreted into the small intestine - proceeds to the large intestine - and is expelled in the feces.






17. Anabolism






18. Occurs when an individual from an adjacent population of the same species immigrates and breeds with a member of a previously locally isolated group - resulting in a change in the gene pool.






19. Digestive enzymes - hydrochloric acid - and gastric juices which aid in digestion. The mucous secreted by the stomach protects the stomach lining from the acids and juices.






20. Covers and protects the leaf.






21. Contains many genes and is a structure comprised of linear DNA and associated proteins.






22. Nonvascular plants such as mosses which lack tissue for conducting food or water.






23. Process of breaking down complex materials (foods) to form simpler substances and release energy.






24. Is secreted by the adrenal cortex to promote sodium reabsorption in the kidney.

27. Produce antibodies into the bloodstream that find and attach themselves to foreign antigens (toxins - bacteria).






28. A cell will only remain stable if the surface area of the plasma membrane maintains a __________ with the volume of the cytoplasm.






29. Is a kind of plain characterized by a warm climate - grassland - and seasonally dry climate conditions.






30. Is the earliest period of the Paleozoic era. Began with the Cambrian explosion - this explosion of life resulted in the representatives of most of the modern phyla being present.






31. Is found on the stem between nodes.






32. An orienting response to light.

34. A suffix meaning 'to break apart.' O || ||






35. Protein synthesis






36. Occurs when two populations are geographically isolated from each other. Over time this results in the production of two separate species.






37. Has extreme hot or cold temperatures - with very low precipitation - sandy or rocky terrain - sparse vegetation (mainly succulents) - small animals - rodents - and reptiles.






38. Breaking down






39. Is the major component of sand and is the most abundant element found in the lithosphere. It is not recycled.






40. Produce adrenaline. This hormone is a well-known constrictor of blood vessels.






41. Can be accounted for by the theory of punctuated equilibrium. The fossil record shows periods of stability with regard to appearance and disappearance of species as well as periods of sudden change.






42. Is a special protein that acts as a catalyst for organic reactions.






43. The pharynx is between the nasal passage and the trachea. Air passes into the body via the nasal passage - then passes through the pharynx and on to the trachea.






44. Transparency - polarity - high specific heat - and density (lower density when solid than when liquid.).






45. Most fossils of Hominids are from continents other than...






46. Is a coenzyme required in the synthesis of collagen.






47. The phylum of insects (bees).






48. Consists of undifferentiated cells capable of quick growth and specialization. It is responsible for elongation of the stem.






49. Process in which elements - chemical compounds - and other forms of matter are passed from one organism to another and from one part of the biosphere to another.






50. Super-class of vertebrae including organisms with jaws.
