What is a Metamorfosis
The process of a animal changing form during its life cycle.
1000
What is structural adaptations
Useful changes in the body parts of a animal.
1000
What is Mimicry
Looking or sounding like another living organism. They basically copycat another animal to fool their predators.

What is a example of Incomplete Metamorphosis
Grasshoppers have an incomplete metamorphosis, during which they develop wings.Grasshopper Incomplete Metamorphosis. The baby grasshoppers are much smaller and do not have wings. Over time, as they eat and grow larger and larger, they moult (shed their skin). Eventually, after a final moulting, they reveal their wings. Since they have a body part change, but they still look similar to their younger selves in other ways, the metamorphosis is considered incomplete.

What is molt or molting
The process by which a animal sheds its outer covering.

What is Ecological succession
Ecological succession is the process that describes how the structure of a biological community (that is, an interacting group of various species in a desert, forest, grassland, marine environment, and so on) changes over time. Species that arrive first in a newly created environment (such as an island rising out of the sea) are called pioneer species, and they, through their interactions with one another, build a rather simple initial biological community. The structure of this community becomes more complex as new species arrive on the scene.

What is Natural Selection
the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of its action was first fully expounded by Charles Darwin and is now believed to be the main process that brings about evolution.
2000
What is a example of behavioral adaptations
Birds fly south in the winter. A characteristic in a plant or in an animal's body that helps it to survive in its environment.
3000
What is the life cycle
a pattern of birth,growth and death that all animals share.
3000
What is Camouflage
Camouflage is a visual disguise. Camouflage is when the color of an animal helps it blend in with its surrounding.
3000
What is a example of physical adaptations
The color of a mammal's fur, the thickness or thinness of the fur, the shape of the nose or ears, the eye color.
4000
What is a extinct species
When a species has no members left that are alive.
4000
What is Primary Succession
When everything in an area is destroyed, including the soil! Erosion needs to take place to break down the rock before there will be soil. This type of succession takes much longer because the soil needs to developed first. Volcanic eruptions can cause primary succession to take place.
4000
What is a example of Chemical Defenses
A skunk sprays to defend itself from predators. Their spray produces a chemical that contains sulfur and the smell really stinks!
5000
What is a instinct
Behavioral adaptations or inherited behaviors that help animals survive.
5000
What is Secondary Succession
When everything in an area except for the soil is destroyed. Once seeds are dropped in this area, the life will start to return. Forest fires cause secondary succession to take place.
5000
What is a example of Instinctive Behavior
Finding ways to gather food
Finding Shelter
Raising the young
Defending oneself
Hibernating (when an animal sleeps during the cold days of winter)
Migrating (when animals travel long trips to find warmer weather, food supply, and a safe place to give birth to their young)
