FINAL
4
Cells 100

• Often referred to as the brain of the cell,
  this organelle contains the cells DNA and mRNA,
  the messenger code responsible for protein
  production.

What is the nucleus?
5
Cells 200

• A cells outer layer that helps to protect it and
  regulates what goes in and out of the cell.

What is the cell membrane?
6
Cells 300

• Specialized subunits within a cell that carry out
  specific functions. Often referred to as the
  organs of a cell.

What are organelles?
7
Cells 400

• Pictured here, these organelles found in plant
  cells and eukaryotic algae, conduct
  photosynthesis and help plants produce energy.

What are chloroplasts?
8
Cells 500

• A group of cells that have similar structure and
  that function together as a unit.

What is tissue?
9
Plants 100

• Plants that lose their leaves during certain
  times of the year.

Who are deciduous plants?
10
Plants 200

• Pigment found in plants that give leaves their
  green color and is responsible for absorbing
  light energy from the sun.

What is chlorophyll?
11
Plants 300

• The reproductive structures found on angiosperms.
  Types include Larkspur, Delphinium and Asters.
  

What are flowers?
12
Plants 400

• Pictured here under a microscope, these are the
  male gametes or sex cells of a plant.

What is pollen?
13
Plants 500
6 CO2(gas) 12 H2O(liquid) photons ?
C6H12O6(aqueous) 6 O2(gas) 6
H2O(liquid) carbon dioxide water light energy
? glucose oxygen water
Pictured here, along with its basic formula, this
is the process by which plants produce energy and
turn carbon dioxide into oxygen. Without it,
most life on Earth would not exist.
What is photosynthesis?
14
Animals 100
Pictured here, this is the biological interaction
between two organisms, where one organism feeds
on another living organism.
What are predator/prey relationships?
15
Animals 200
Pictured here, this species of frog is part of a
much larger classification of animals known for
their dual lives. They depend on water for
reproduction, but spend much of their adult lives
on land, but always near a source of water.
What are amphibians?
16
Animals 300
This class of warm-blooded, vertebrate animals
are characterized by the presence of sweat
glands, including milk producing sweat glands,
and by the presence of hair, three middle ear
bones used in hearing, and a neocortex region in
the brain.
What are mammals?
17
Animals 400
Insects, the most diverse group of animals on the
planets, are known for possessing segmented
bodies supported by this type of hard outer
covering made mostly of chitin.
What is an exoskeleton?
18
Animals 500
A grizzly bear, pictured here, is a species of
animal that eats both plants and animals as its
primary food source.
What are omnivores?
19
Genetics 100

• A nucleic acid that contains the genetic
  instructions used in the development and
  functioning of all known living organisms.

What is DNA?
20
Genetics 200

• They are considered to be the basic physical and
  functional unit of heredity. They contain
  instructions of how to make different proteins
  and you received some from both your parents.

What are genes?
21
DAILY DOUBLE Genetics

• The transfer of characteristics from parent to
  offspring through their genes .

What is heredity?
22
Genetics 400

• The offspring resulting from cross-breeding of
  different plants or animals.

What are hybrids?
23
Genetics 500

• The process by which favorable traits that are
  heritable become more common in successive
  generations of a population of reproducing
  organisms, and unfavorable traits that are
  heritable become less common.

What is natural selection?
24
Ecology 100
A term describing the relational position of a
species or population in its ecosystem.
What is a niche?
25
Ecology 200

• A collection of people or individuals of a
  particular species.

What is population?
26
Ecology 300

• The feeding relationships between species to
  another within an ecosystem. Organisms are
  connected to the organisms they consume by arrows
  representing the direction of biomass transfer.

What is a food web?
27
Ecology 400

• A natural unit consisting of all plants, animals
  and micro-organisms (biotic factors) in an area
  functioning together with all of the non-living
  physical (abiotic) factors of the environment.

What is an ecosystem?
28
Ecology 500

• Organisms in an ecosystem that produce biomass
  from inorganic compounds (autotrophs). In almost
  all cases these are photosynthetically active
  organisms.

What are primary producers?
29
FINAL JEOPARDY!
A form of reproduction that involves a process
called mitosis and requires only one parent.
What is asexual reproduction?
