What organelle in plant cells captures sunlight for photosynthesis?

Hint: It contains chlorophyll, which makes plants green

Hint: Think: FARBM — Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, Mammals

What is the natural home or environment where an organism lives?

Hint: A fish's habitat is water; a polar bear's habitat is the Arctic tundra

Hint: Complete metamorphosis has four stages: egg, larva, pupa, adult

What are the five traditional human senses?

Hint: Eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin are the five sense organs

What are the three main macronutrients found in food?

Hint: These supply energy (calories) to the body

Which stage often begins the life cycle of a butterfly?

Hint: The butterfly lays it on a plant

What is the larva stage of a butterfly commonly called?

Hint: It eats leaves and grows quickly

During which butterfly stage does major change happen inside a chrysalis?

Hint: The chrysalis is the clue

Which sequence matches a frog life cycle?

Hint: Young frogs begin as tadpoles

Which animal has complete metamorphosis with egg, larva, pupa, and adult stages?

Hint: Think caterpillar and chrysalis

Which term names a young insect that resembles the adult but is smaller and lacks full wings?

Hint: Grasshoppers have this kind of young stage

A scientist finds an animal with a backbone, hair, and milk for its young. Which group fits best?

Hint: Hair and milk are mammal clues

An animal has scales, lays eggs on land, and depends on outside heat for body temperature. Which class fits best?

Hint: Scales and land eggs are reptile clues

A plant's leaves are healthy, but water cannot move upward from the roots. Which part is likely damaged?

Hint: The stem carries water upward

A plant is wilting because it cannot take in enough water. Which plant part is most directly involved?

Hint: This part anchors the plant and absorbs water

Which animal life cycle includes egg, larva, pupa, and adult?

Hint: Think caterpillar to chrysalis to adult
