Pre-AP Biology Final Exam UPDATED
Questions And CORRECT Answers
Hypothesis - CORRECT ANSWER - An "if, then" statement predicting the outcome of an
experiment.
Independant Variable - CORRECT ANSWER - The variable that is changed in an
experiment; goes on the X-axis when graphed. (DRY MIX)
Dependant Variable - CORRECT ANSWER - The variable that relies on the independant
variable in an experiment; goes on the Y-axis when graphed. (DRY MIX)
Constant - CORRECT ANSWER - The variable that is not changed in an experiment.
Control - CORRECT ANSWER - The standard variable that is used for comparison in an
experiment.
Total Magnification - CORRECT ANSWER - Ocular lense X Objective lense
Field of View - CORRECT ANSWER - Inverse relationship; Stronger magnification
makes this smaller.
10% - CORRECT ANSWER - How much energy is transferred when an organism eats
something?
Food Web - CORRECT ANSWER - A web in which arrows point from an organism to
where that organism gets its energy. 10% of the energy is transferred.
Food Chain - CORRECT ANSWER - The following is an example of a:
grass→grasshopper→bird
, Biomass - CORRECT ANSWER - Number of organisms X Mass of the organisms. If it is
not balanced, that means it is an unstable environment.
Predator - CORRECT ANSWER - Reacts to the prey.
Tundra - CORRECT ANSWER - A cold, dry biome in which tree growth is limited by
harsh temperatures. Examples of organisms that would live in this biome are polar bears,
caribou, and snowy owls.
Desert - CORRECT ANSWER - A hot, dry biome. Examples of organisms that would live
in this biome are cacti, black widows, and some lizards.
Rainforest - CORRECT ANSWER - A moist biome with a lot of vegetation. Examples of
organisms that would live in this biome are gorillas and tropical birds.
Savanna - CORRECT ANSWER - A rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated
trees. Examples of organisms that would live in this biome are giraffes, cheetahs, and elephants.
Enzyme - CORRECT ANSWER - A biological catalyst that lowers the amount of
activation energy needed.
Covalent Bond - CORRECT ANSWER - A bond that is formed when electrons are shared.
Ionic Bond - CORRECT ANSWER - A bond that is formed when electrons are
transferred. It makes ions that are electrically attracted to each other.
Hydrogen Bond - CORRECT ANSWER - A bond that is created due to polarity.
Lipid - CORRECT ANSWER - A macromolecule; glycerol is its monomer.
