Plant Reproduction
What does every plant start out as?
A seed
What is the process of a sperm and an egg cell joining together?
fertiziliation
What are the three stages of an animals life cycle?
Newborn -- Youth -- Adult
What are the two types of metamorphosis'?
Complete Metamorphosis & Incomplete Metamorphosis
an specific feature of an individual
trait
A series of stages that a living thing goes through as it develops is called it's ______ ________
life cycle
A seed sprouts during a process known as ___________
germination
What are the two ways animals can be born?
Hatching from an egg & live birth
What stage does an animal "molt" it's skin?
Nymph stage.
- Molting is when skin is shedding
What are three traits you can inherit?
Answers will vary: eye color - hair color - shape of face - cleft chin - earlobes - height - etc.
Pollen falls from the stigma, to the style, into the ovaries where the pollen joins the plants _____ in order to reproduce.
eggs
Male cells are called ______. Female cells are called ____. They have to join together in a process called _______________.
sperm
egg
fertilization
What are young kangaroos called?
Joeys
Which metamorphosis is when the adult and the young look very similar, just some slight differences and different in size. Also, give an example of an animal that goes through this.
Incomplete Metamorphosis
examples: grasshopper, cockroach, crickets, lice, termites
Which of the following is NOT a correct example of an inherited behavior?
- bats hibernating
- seal tossing a ball
- birds building a nest
- spiders spinning its web
Seal tossing a ball. That is a learned behavior.
A plant has to reach ________ in order to reproduce.
maturity
Describe what pollination. Then, give me three examples/ways on how pollen/seeds can spread?
Pollination is the process of pollen moving from a male plant part to a female plant part.
How pollen/seeds are spread: Animals, Water, Wind
What are the stages of a humans life cycle?
Baby(infant) - Toddler - Child - Teenager - Adult
What do complete and incomplete metamorphosis have in common and different involving their stages?
Common: egg and adult
Difference: incomplete has nymph & complete has larva and pupa
Which of the following is NOT a trait you would receive from your parents?
- size of feet
- shape of ears
- color of eyes
-length of hair
length of hair -- everyone's hair grows, it depends how you cut it and how often you cut it.
Explain the step by step life cycle of a plant.
Seed - Germinates, grows a root, embyro grows - Plant continues to grow larger, gets more roots - Reaches maturity (full size, able to reproduce seeds)
Explain a difference and similarity between seed dispersal and pollination.
Seed dispersal can happen by wind, water, or animals. It is the spreading of SEEDS.
Pollination can be happen because of wind, water, or animals too but it's the transfer of POLLEN from one plant to another.
Caterpillars spin webs that are very sticky and hard to remove. At what stage of its life cycle would the moth be in when it spin a web?
Larva
Explain both metamorphosis in great detail, including all stages and what happens in those stages.
Complete - egg, larva, pupa, adult : larva is when its in a worm like stage and looks nothing like the adult stage, pupa is when is wraps up in its cocoon like structure and goes through a major change into it's adult phase. The larva and adult look completely different.
Incomplete - egg, nymph, adult. The nymph and adult look similar but different in size and some minor features. The nymph molts and becomes an adult.
Tell me the definitions of learned behavior and instinct. Then, give me two examples for BOTH vocabulary words.
Learned Behavior - something you have to learn in order to know; not born knowing it.
Instinct - something you're born knowing
Examples will vary.
