2. Instructions for using this template. Remember this is Jeopardy, so where I have written “Answer” this is the prompt the students will see, and where I have “Question” should be the student’s response. To enter your questions and answers, click once on the text on the slide, then highlight and just type over what’s there to replace it. If you hit Delete or Backspace, it sometimes makes the text box disappear. When clicking on the slide to move to the next appropriate slide, be sure you see the hand, not the arrow. (If you put your cursor over a text box, it will be an arrow and WILL NOT take you to the right location.)

3. Choose a category. You will be given the answer. You must give the correct question. Click to begin.

7. What are electrons?

8. Along with Hydrogen and Nitrogen, they are the other two common atoms found in living things.

9. What are Oxygen and Carbon?

10. It’s the number of outer shell electrons a normal carbon atom has. (It’s also the number it wants.)

11. What is four?

12. Of the three parts of an atom, it’s the one that tells you the atomic number and what kind of atom it is.

13. What is the proton?

14. It’s the type of bond that forms between a sodium and a chlorine atom.

15. What is ionic?

16. Of the two types, eukaryotic and prokaryotic, it’s the cells that make up all animals and plants.

17. What is eukaryotic?

18. It’s the organelle that provides energy for an animal cell.

19. What are mitochondria?

20. They’re two organelles found in plant cells, but not in animal cells.

21. What are the cell wall and chloroplast?

22. It’s the organelle that controls what comes into or out of a cell.

23. What is the cell membrane?

24. DAILY DOUBLE: Everybody bets

25. These cells haven’t yet “decided” what kind of a cell they will become.

26. It’s the organelle that handles the reactions for metabolism, or cellular respiration.

27. What are mitochondria?

28. It’s the organelle in plant cells that controls the photosynthesis reactions.

29. What is a chloroplast?

30. They are the things needed to carry out photosynthesis.

31. What are CO2, Sunlight and Water?

32. It’s how long one must exercise in order to burn fat.

33. What is 20 minutes?

34. Daily Double: Everyone bets.

35. It’s the short term energy storing molecule used in both photosynthesis and metabolism

36. They are the four letters that stand for the bases in DNA.

37. What are A, T, C, and G?

38. It’s the term for a section of DNA that codes for some protein.

39. What is a gene?

40. It’s the name of the long molecule that DNA is coded onto before a protein is made.

41. What is mRNA?

42. They are the two scientists given credit for discovering the structure of DNA.

43. Who are Watson and Crick?

44. They are the 3 base sections on mRNA that each code for an amino acid.

45. What is a codon?

46. It is the process of dividing a normal body cell’s nucleus to make identical body cells.

47. What is mitosis?

48. It’s the process of making gametes (sperm and egg).

49. What is meiosis?

50. It’s the stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.

51. What is metaphase?

52. It’s the event that occurs during meiosis that causes the sperm or eggs to each be unique.

53. What is crossing over, or crossover?

54. It’s the term for the type of cell, the sperm or egg, that forms during Meiosis and contains only a half set of DNA.

55. What is haploid?

56. He is the father of genetics.

57. Who is Gregor Mendel?

58. It is the name of the squares that are used to predict the outcome of crosses.

59. What is Punnett?

60. It’s the term for having two identical genes on your chromosomes.

61. What is homozygous?

62. It’s the term for having different genes on each homologous chromosome.

63. What is heterozygous?

64. It is the genotypic ratio of a cross between two heterozygous organisms.
