Plant structures
Provides support to a plant like a skeleton does for a human
Stem
The human respiratory system/lungs have a similar function as _________
Gills
These invertebrates have an exoskeleton
Arthropods
This condition happens when there is a shortage of water
Drought
Movement from one place to another
Migration
This produces food for a plant
Leaves
Means having a backbone
Vertebrates
These vertebrates produce milk and feed their young
Mammals
This condition happens when there is too many of one type of organism in a community
Overpopulation
What are some adaptations that protect animals and/or plants?
Animals-fur, shells, feathers, scutes, quills
Plants- thorns, spines, hard shells around seeds (like a walnut)
This anchors a plant and takes in water and nutrients
Roots
Means NOT having a backbone
Invertebrates
These vertebrates lay eggs and have feathers
Birds
A species NOT native to an ecosystem
Invasive species
Animals become dormant during winter months where their bodily functions slow down drastically and go into a resting state
Hibernation
Some plants in Florida have LARGE leaves. How does this help the plant?
Collects sunlight for making food
A natural, outer skeleton that gives insects their structure, it also provides support and protection
Exoskeleton
These vertebrates have scales and lungs, some lay eggs and some give birth to live young
Reptiles
This environment change impacts competition for resources among plants. Some trees take many years to grow back, but ground plants will thrive and grow back quickly.
Forest Fire
Taking on the appearance of another plant or animal
Mimicry
These three structures protect a plant like skin protects a human.
Spines, thorns, and bark
Body coverings like feathers, quills, shells and fur have what main function?
Protection
These cold blooded vertebrates go through metamorphosis and they use either gills or lungs. They also lay eggs.
Amphibians
Some trees/plants do this in the winter time when sunlight is less abundant and temperatures are colder.
Similar to animal dormancy and is done to conserve energy.
Lose their leaves
To blend in with your surroundings
Camouflage
