Metamorphosis
Inherited Traits, Learned Behaviors and Adaptations
Interdependence
Carbon Dioxide-Oxygen Cycle
Energy
100
The final stage in both complete and incomplete metamorphosis.
What is an adult?
100
List two inherited traits.
What is freckles, dimples, hair color, eye color, rolling your tongue, height?
100
The way organisms and environments work together to survive.
What is interdependence?
100
The process of plants turning sunlight into energy and releasing oxygen as waste, then animals taking in oxygen when they breathe and releasing carbon dioxide when they exhale that plants take in during photosynthesis.
What is the Carbon Dioxide- Oxygen Cycle?
100
This shows the movement of energy from one organism to another. The energy goes one direction.
What is a food chain?
200
The four stages, in order, of complete metamorphosis.
What is egg, larva, pupa, adult?
200
List two learned behaviors.
What is riding your bike, manners, learning a language, talking?
200
This organism reduces waste and adds carbon back into the Earth and atmosphere after it breaks down organisms that are no longer living.
What is a decomposer?
200
This shows an overlapping series of energy flowing between several organisms.
What is a food web?
300
The three stages of incomplete metamorphosis.
What is egg, nymph, adult?
300
The adaptation that gives an aquatic animal an advantage in the water.
What is webbed feet?
300
True or False: It is impossible to return an ecosystem to its natural state after humans litter, cut down lots of trees and allow their livestock to overgraze the area.
What is false?
300
This action would reduce the amount of oxygen in the air, leading to possible Global Warming effects.
What is deforestation, or cutting down lots of trees?
300
The process of energy being increased in one organism and decreased in another organism.
What is the transfer of energy?
400
The stage of development that an incomplete life cycle does NOT have.
What is pupa, or resting stage?
400
This adaptation gives a deer or a bison the advantage on grasslands because it makes them faster.
What are hooves?
400
The things that living things need from non-living things in order to survive.
What is shelter, hiding places, air, water and nutrients?
400
Give at least 4 ways humans can help reverse the effects of deforestation.
Answers will vary. Examples: Plant trees, recycle, use less that gives off waste (less plastic, paper, styrofoam, etc.),use less fuel, raise awareness of harmful effects of deforestation and where it's being done.
400
Trace the transfer of energy from a carnivore to the sun.
Answers may vary, but the generic answer is: Carnivore (coyote) east a smaller herbivore (rabbit), which feeds on plants (grass) which makes its energy from photosynthesis, which requires the Sun.
500
These insects; grasshopper, cockroach, dragonfly, go through this life cycle.
What is incomplete metamorphosis?
500
Give three examples of plant adaptations.
What is a cactus: stores water in stems and leaves, long root systems that go deep down for water, spines to protect them from insects and animals. Tundra plants are low to the ground, are dark in color to absorb more heat/light, and have tiny hairs to protect them from weather. Rainforest plants climb trees to reach sunlight, broad leaves to absorb sunlight, and are waxy to allow run-off.
500
Give two examples of what could happen if a rabbit is taken out of a forest ecosystem.
Answers may vary. Example: The grasses that rabbits eat will overgrow; the rabbit predators (owls, snakes, etc) will have to eat more of other things making the population of other prey too low; this causes the insects that were eaten by other prey to increase (example: frogs get eaten so flies increase).
500
This is when plants release CO2 into the atmosphere.
What is during the night?
500
Explain what would happen if one organism was removed or added to a food web.
Answers will vary. The removal of an organism to a food web would cause a disruption in the web, causing some species to struggle and eventually become extinct.
