- Q2The human female reproductive cycle is regulated primarily by thewhite blood cells of the circulatory systemmuscle cells of the skeletal systemhormones of the endocrine systemenzymes of the digestive system60sS4-K4.4.1
- Q3Siamese cats have dark fur on areas of the body that are cooler and light fur on parts of the body that are warmer. The color differences in this Siamese cat are most likely due tomore DNA molecules being produced in areas with light furmutations in the genes for eye colorgene expression being influenced by the environmenta decrease in glucose produced in areas with light fur60sS4-K2.2.2
- Q4When deciding on new environmental policies and laws, which term is used to describe the comparison between benefi ts and costs of human activities?climate changetechnologyindustrializationtrade-off60sS4-K7.7.3
- Q5If the grass in the front yard of an abandoned house is not cut for several years, the yard may become overgrown with taller grasses, bushes, and shrubs. This is an example of the process ofecological successionhomeostasisdirect harvestingevolution60sS4-K6.6.1
- Q6The presence of these fish in American waters is of concern because it might offer too much competition to nativeherbivoresdecomposerspredatorsproducers60sS4-K1.1.1
- Q7In a food web, which type of organism receives energy from the other three types?decomposercarnivoreherbivoreproducer60sS4-K1.1.1
- Q8An amoeba is a single-celled, heterotrophic organism. In order to meet its energy needs, it relies directly on the interaction of which cell structures?chloroplasts and the cell membranevacuoles and the nucleusthe cell membrane and mitochondrianucleus and ribosomes60sS4-K1.1.3
- Q9Recently, oil from a wrecked tanker resulted in a disaster in ecosystems containing many unique species. The potential loss of these species could result inan increase in the variety of genetic material availablean increase in the stability of the affected ecosystemsa decrease in pollution affecting the land and watera decrease in organisms available for scientific research60sS4-K6.6.1
- Q10Which process occurs at each link in a food chain?Atoms cycle among living organisms, producing energy.Chemical energy is recycled.Some energy is released into the environment as heat.All the energy is stored in a newly made structure.60sS4-K6.6.1
- Q11Genetic recombination, production of more offspring than can survive, and struggling with the challenges of the environment are all concepts associated withselective breedinggenetic engineeringmitotic divisionnatural selection60sS4-K3.3.1
- Q12Mistletoe is a plant that lives on the branches of trees. The mistletoe plant sends its roots in through the bark of trees and takes away water and minerals that the tree needs. In this situation, the mistletoe plant isa predatoran autotropha parasitea decomposer60sS4-K6.6.1

- Q14Butterflies exposed to radiation leaking from a damaged nuclear power plant in Japan have been observed to have malformed legs, antennae, and wings. For future butterfly generations to have these similar structural abnormalities, gene mutations must be present in the affected butterflies'body cellswing cellsantenna cellssex cells60sS4-K3.3.1
