D. They may have less competition for resources
100
Why might a species become extinct? I need two reasons.
Hunting, the species cannot adapt to changes in its environment or cannot move to a new environment, disease, lack of food source.
100
How many stages are in complete metamorphosis?
Four
200
A hard skeleton on the outside of some animals.
Exoskeleton
200
Holes on the surface of a plant leaf through which gas passes.
Stomata

What is a change in a gene called?
Mutation
200
Inherited behaviors that help animals survive.
Instincts
200
What are the stages of incomplete metamorphosis?
Egg, nymph, adult
300
A species that has no more members of its kind alive.
Extinct
300
What is the purpose of the exoskeleton? I need 2 purposes.
Protection and structure
300
Describe three adaptations that might help a plant survive in a very windy environment.
Small leaves stems that bend easily strong roots
300
Give an example of a structural adaptation.
Miss. Hollis will decide appropriate answers.
300
Compare and contrast. How are the stages of complete and incomplete metamorphosis alike and different?
Complete metamorphosis had four stages. Incomplete metamorphosis has three stages (will also accept: incomplete metamorphosis does not have a pupa stage). Both change their forms as they grow.
400
The process of an animal changing form during its life cycle.
Metamorphosis
400
What is reproduction?
The process of living things making other living things similar to themselves.
400
How do spines on cacti help protect them?
The spines make it difficult for animals to eat them.

Give an example of a behavioral adaptation.
Miss. Hollis will decide appropriate answers
400
Name the stages of metamorphosis of a butterfly.
Egg larva or caterpillar pupa or chrysalis adult or butterfly
500
A characteristic that increases a organisms ability to survive and reproduce in its environment.
Adaptation
500
How would plants be affected if they did not have an ovary?
Plants would not be able to reproduce.
500
Why might a plant that normally grows in one environment not grow well in a different environment?
It might not get enough water and sunlight, and the new climate might be too hot or too cold.
500
What are some structural adaptations of adult frogs that help them survive in their environment? List at least 3.
Long, strong back legs help frogs jump far, and their color helps them blend into the environment to help avoid predators. Webbed feet help them swim, and long tongues allow them to catch insects.
500
Describe the stages of a frog's metamorphosis. You must describe how it breathes in each stage, where it lives, and parts that grow or go away.
Egg Tadpole - breaths with gills, has a tail, lives in water Tadpole - Develops lungs, tail gets shorter, grows legs Adult - Breaths with lungs, lives on land.
