5) Using their lateral line organ, fish can perceive and react to changes in water currents caused
by prey and predators. This is an example of
A) maintaining homeostasis.
B) metabolism.
C) response to the environment.
D) energy regulation.
E) organization.
6) Salmon are born in fresh water but migrate out to marine waters for most of their life.
Eventually, they return to the place they were born to spawn. Because migrating between
fresh water and saltwater affects the balance of water in their body, salmon have evolved an
internal control system called osmoregulation that restores water balance by negative
feedback. This is an example of which characteristic of life?
A) adaptation
B) reproduction and development
C) response to the environment
D) energy transformation
E) maintaining homeostasis

10) Latonya is an avid gardener who spends a lot of time caring for the plants in her garden. To
minimize damage from pests, Latonya uses a pesticide spray. After a few years of using the
same pesticide spray, she notices that it has become less effective. This is most likely due to
A) evolution by natural selection.
B) not using enough pesticide spray.

B) true, because all eukaryotes are multicellular
C) false, because some eukaryotes are single-celled
