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
Answer: C
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
Answer: E
7. Which of the following statement(s) regarding genes is/are true?
A. Genes are made up of DNA
B. All cells in a multicellular organism contain the same set of genes
C. Humans receive their DNA/genes from either their mother or their father but not both
D. Variations in genes are the result of mutations
E. All organisms such as roses, elephants and mushrooms have the same set of genes
Answer: D
8. Which of the following pairs of words is matched correctly?
A. bladder - organ
B. neuron - tissue
C. osteocyte - molecule
D. gene - atom

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
