TCI Lesson 1 Cells & Genetics Study Guide
All organisms acquire their needs for energy, materials and living space from... (Lesson Game # 1) - ANS -Their
environment
\Criteria and constraints are chosen based on... (Lesson Game # 12) - ANS -Human need, societal values, available
resources
\How do offspring get their physical traits and behavioral traits? (Summary) - ANS -Offspring get their physical traits and
behavioral traits from their parents
\The survival of organisms can be threatened by... (Lesson Game # 5) - ANS -Extreme temperatures, the risk of diseases,
the danger of being eaten by others
\What are the requirements for an engineering solution to be successful? (Vocabulary) - ANS -Criteria (Singular form:
criterion)
\What happens when an organism suffers or dies form lack of food? (Vocabulary) - ANS -Starvation
\What happens when an organism suffers or dies form lack of oxygen? (Vocabulary) - ANS -Suffocation
\What happens when an organism suffers or dies from abnormal or excessive loss of water? (Vocabulary) - ANS
-Dehydration
\What is a distinct feature or body part of an organism that might help it survive? (Vocabulary) - ANS -Physical trait
\What is a distinct way in which an organism interacts with its environment? (Vocabulary) - ANS -Behavioral trait
\What is a group of living things that share traits and can successfully reproduce with each other but not with other
groups? (Vocabulary) - ANS -Species
\What is a limitation on an engineering solution? (Vocabulary) - ANS -Constraint
