The reference box and Section A are on page 1. The reference box defines the key terms. Section A has eight clues to match to the correct term. Section B on page 2 has four short-response questions.
Page 3 is a complete answer key with answers for every item. The worksheet pairs well with the Decomposers and Plant and Animal Cells worksheets.
