Subject
:
engineering
Instructions:
Answer 49 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. What are the characteristics of living things?
Viral reproduction destroys the host cells and causes disease
No
Made up of cells - level of organization - able to reproduce - able to grow and develop - responds to stimuli - uses energy
