A change that allows an organism to survive better in its environment.
What is an adaptation?
100

What is protection?
100
The process of an animal changing form during its life cycle.
What is metamorphosis?
100
This part of the flower, found in the ovary, becomes a seed.
What is the egg?
200
During pollination the pollen from this goes to this part of the flower.
What is from the stamen to the pistil?
200
A random change in a gene.
What is a mutation?
200
If an animal with a mutation survives in its environment, this will happen to its offspring.
What is the mutation gets passed on to its offspring?
200
This stage for the amphibian is after the egg has hatched.
What is tadpole?
200
Exoskeletons give animals these two things.
What is structure and protection?
300
Your body has this to circulate blood, nutrients and water.
What are blood vessels?
300
This helps species develop adaptations to survive in different environments.
What is natural selection?
300
When a specie has no members left that are alive.
What is extinction?
300
The stage for a butterfly when it is a caterpillar.
What is larva?
300
A predictable order of changes in a community after a change occurs.
What is succession?
400
Name three reasons why structures are needed for animals or plants.
What is for support, reproduction, respiration, circulation?
400
Plants that germinate in the spring rather than in winter is this type of adaptation.
What is a life-cycle adaptation?
400
Give three ways an animal or plant might do if they do not adapt to their environment.
What is die, move and find another environment, find a different resource?
400
Name the three stages of incomplete metamorphosis.
What is egg, nymph, and adult?
400
Name three ways animals have adapted to seasonal changes.
What is migrate, hibernate, change the color of their fur for camouflage and warmth?
500
Name three animals and their ways to get oxygen in and out of their body.
What is humans with lungs, fish with gills, and caterpillars with spiracles?
500
Name three structural plant adaptations and the function of each.
What is venus fly-trap adapted to trap flies to eat, spines on a prickly pear cactus for protection, water lily floats for sunlight, coconut seed's floating husk for dispersal?
500
Compare and contrast instincts and learned behaviors.
What is both instincts and learned behaviors are behavioral adaptations for survival. Instincts are inherited and not learned. Learned behaviors are learned by watching others like the parents how to survive.
*Be prepared to give examples!
500
Name two insects that go through complete metamorphosis and two that go through incomplete metamorphosis.
What is complete - butterflies, ants, bees, flies and beetles. Incomplete - dragonflies, grasshoppers, and cockroaches.
500
Compare life cycle variations of animals and plants.
What is plants will germinate during spring and animals, like birds, will be born during spring. This allows for them to live in good weather and have food available.
