Basic Functions of Structures
Warm-blooded animals
Cold-blooded
animals
Physical responses to environmental stimuli
Learned or inherited behavior
100
This allows an animal to defend itself from predators by changing the color of its skin.
What is camouflage?
100
The scientific name for "warm-blooded."
What is endothermic?
100
The scientific name for cold-blooded animals.
What is ectothermic?
100
To maintain internal temperatures, animals get a thick fur in cold weather. In hot weather this happens to the thick fur.
What is shedding?
100
Imprinting is a behavior where newborn animals recognize and follow the first moving object they see. Usually this object is this.
What is their mother?
200
These 5 things help an animal make a direct attack painful.
What arehorns, claws, quills, stingers, and venom?
200
If the temperature outside is too hot, a warm-blooded animal does this to maintain a constant internal temperature.
What is sweating?
200
True or false. Fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals are ectothermic (cold-blooded).
What is FALSE? (All are except mammals, which are warm-blooded.)
200
Animals do this to protect their eyes from being injured if a foreign object comes near the eye.
What is blinking?
200
Learned or inherited...imprinting is this kind of behavior.
What is inherited?
300
These 5 things help an animal move to fufill their needs such as finding food or escaping from a predator.
What are legs, feet and arms, tails, fins, wings, body design, skeleton. (Name any 5 of the above to get credit.)
300
More or Less? The amount of food an endothermic animal must eat to maintain a constant body temperature.
What is MORE?
300
If the environment becomes too cold, ectothermic animals become slow and sluggish. They do this to warm up.
What is get out in the sun or move to a warmer location. (Answering either one gets you the $$$.)
300
Animals do this to increase heat production. It is an invlountary response to a drop in the temperature outside or inside the body.
What is shivering?
300
Not touching a stove when it is hot is called conditioning. Conditioning is this kind of behavior.
What is learned?
400
This allows an animal to hide from a predator by blending in with the pattern of the surrounding environment.
What is mimicry?
400
True or false. A fish is an endothermic animal.
What is FALSE?
400
If the temperature gets too hot, ectothermic animals do this to get cooler.
What is move to a cooler location or burrow in the ground to get its body cool. (Either answer will get you the $$$.)
400
One physical response to the environment is to gather food and store it when it is cold outside. This animal does this.
What is a squirrel; what is a beaver; what are mice? (Any of these animals will give you $$$.)
400
Instinct is an inherited behavior. Snails digging a hole to lay its egg is this type of behavior. (Learned or inherited)
What is inherited?
500
These 3 are structures that helps an animal obtain resources (tearing and eating the food).
What are beaks, teeth, flexible jaws, tongues? (Name any 3 out of the list to get this one correct.)
500
To maintain a constant body temperature and maintain cool when the temperature outside is hot, dogs do this instead of sweating.
What is pant?
500
Ectothermic (cold-blooded animals) take on the temperature of their surroundings. True or False...a lizard is a cold-blooded animal.
What is TRUE?
500
Bears, penguins, walruses, chipmunks, and even ants overeat in cold weather to conserve energy. The nutrition is stored as this.
What is fat?
500
Chimpanzees use small sticks to dig in the soil for insects. (Learned or inherited)
