Honors Freshman Science

Subject : science
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. Affects the ripening of fruit






2. Produces oxytocin






3. Original cell that forms egg






4. Occurs when each individual in a population consumes too large a share of resources






5. A single strand of RNA that folds back on itself to form a specific shape






6. The ability to produce viable offspring

8. The largest population that can be maintained for an indefinite period by a particular environment as long as there are no changes in it






9. Where cell aerobic respiration takes place






10. Growth response to light & positive






11. Aka chaparral & mixed scrub community with lower rainfall than in a deciduous forest






12. Physically changing from sex when there aren't any of one sex






13. Eggs laid and then fertilized






14. Birth canal






15. Forms the initial seed leaves (not actual leaves) & a side of the seed






16. Unfertilized egg develops into a reproducing haploid animal that is capable of reproducing using a different process to make gametes






17. The study of how living organisms and the physical environment interact in an immense and complcated web of relationships & the broadest field of biology






18. The ability of a community to withstand disturbances






19. Halfway between saturated and unsaturated






20. A process carried out to ensure that the male is actually male and a member of the same species






21. Spontaneous generation & life may arise from nonliving matter (incorrect idea)






22. Zygote after it has undergone mitosis and grown






23. The nuclear division that produces two nuclei containing chronosomes identical to those in the parental nucleus






24. Contains multiple monosacharides bonded together & consists of repeating units of simple sugars

47. One dominant and one recessive






48. The major carrier of genetic information in eukaryotes & found in the cell nucleus






49. The time between mitosis and the S phase & when the cell grows and performs its function






50. A cooperative view of the community that stresses interactions between different species
