Plant Adaptations
Which type of structural plants have enclosed vessels responsible for moving both nutrients and water throughout the plant
What is vascular plants
When sperm and egg fuse within the body of the female
Internal Fertilization
When sperm and egg fuse outside of the body of the female.
What is external fertilization?
Contractile vacuoles control the balance of water in Paramecium cells. What might happen if a pond-dwelling Paramecium’s contractile vacuole fails?
what is swell due to osmosis?
At night, moths travel toward light. Which type of behavior does this describe?
What is innate?
What type of structural plant does not have enclosed vessels? It gets its nutrients and water through osmosis
What is non-vascular plants?
The response of some animals to a stimulus that they are exposed to shortly after birth -- Ex. baby duck believes the first moving it sees is its mother.
What is imprinting?
Behaviors that develop during an animal’s lifetime as a result of experience.
What is learned behavior?
Which description best describes the response of a unicellular organism to a harmful acid? (give me direction as well as the word)
The eastern meadowlark and the western meadowlark are two closely related bird species. The two species avoid interbreeding because they have different mating songs. This is an example of:
a. structural adaptation
b. behavioral adaptation
c. geographic isolation
d. feeding adaptation
What is B (behavioral adaptations)?
Cacti have adaptations in their leaves to reduce what?
What is water loss?
When an animal makes a mental connection between a stimulus and some kind of reward or punishment.
What is conditioning?
A behavior that an animal is born with and does not need to learn through experience.
In multicellular organisms like humans, the excretory system removes excess water. Which structure do protists such as paramecia use to remove excess water?
What is the contractile vacuole?
The comparing of bird beaks is most likely occurring in which study?
A. a study of feeding adaptations
B. a study of digestive adaptations
C. a study of camouflage strategies
D. a study of reproductive strategies
A carnivorous plant obtains nitrogen how?
What is eating/trapping insects?
An organisms movement toward or away from a stimulus.
What is Taxis?
A reduction in an organism metabolism in response to extreme heat and.or drought.
Estivation
Which protist uses a pseudopod to move?
What do phototaxis and geotaxis enable plants to do?
a. Grow toward needed resources such as light and water
b. Prevent invasion by insect colonies
c. Defend themselves against herbivores
d. Develop pesticide resistance by exchanging DNA
What is A (Grow toward needed resources such as light and water)?
in what type of structural plant are xylem and phloem found?
What is vascular?
When an animal learns to ignore a repeated stimulus that does not harm the animal. Ex. cows don’t run in fear from passing cars next to a pasture.
Habituation
Many birds in the United States respond to seasonal environmental changes by
What is migration?
Which organelle would a protist need for phototaxis?
What is the eyespot?
Which of the following reproductive processes is an adaptation for life in water?
a. internal fertilization
b. external fertilization
c. asexual reproduction
d. spore production
