Science Exam Review

DO NOT FORGET: Your social studies country projects are due TOMORROW. Check out this blog post for more information by clicking on this link.

Your science exam covers cells, plant structure, photosynthesis, and land ecosystems, along with some vocabulary.

Here are the vocabulary words:
Photosynthesis, chlorophyll, ecosystem, food chain, leaves, stem, roots, transpiration, carbon dioxide, oxygen, climate zone, tropical rain forest, deciduous forest, grassland, desert, taiga, tundra, cell, chlorophyll, habitat

For your cell review, look at these posts: Cells and Cell Structure and the Cell Review and answers.

You need to be able to draw a plant cell and label the cell wall, the vacuole, the chloroplasts, cell membrane, vacuole, cytoplasm, mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic recticulum, ribosomes, and nucleus and nucleolus.

To review plants, read pages 102-103. You need to be able to draw a plant and label it.
You do not have to draw a flower, only the roots, stem, and leaves. Please know what the roots, stem, and leaves do. You should also know the difference between a cactus, a deciduous tree, and an evergreen tree.

You should know how plants can adapt to different ecosystems.

You need to know about photosynthesis. Read pages 104-105 for more information. You need to draw a picture of the photosynthesis process (in your book and notes) and explain what happens in a short essay.


You should know about ecosystems. To study, answer these questions:
1. What is a tropical rain forest like?
2. What is a deciduous forest like?
3. What is a grassland like?
4. What is a desert like?
5. What is the taiga like?
6. What is a tundra like?
7. Why are there different ecosystems? (page 168)
8. What ecosystem has many different types of plants and animals?
9. What are the animals in each ecosystem like?
