200

What does the digestive system do?

It breaks down food and turns it into nutrients and releases/creates waste

200

What does the skeletal system do?

Provides structure/support, protects organs, helps with movement, makes blood.

200

Getting a scar is an example of what type of trait? Inherited or acquired.

Acquired

200

What do the arrows in a food web or food chain show?

They show the transfer of energy between organisms

200

What are tertiary consumers?

They are the Apex predators that are the top of the food chain (nothing eats them)

300

What works together as a group to form tissues? (What makes up tissues)

Cells

300

Which systems work together to carry oxygen to the cells?

Circulatory and respiratory

300

Dogs are able to perform tricks like sit, stay, and shake. Is this an example of instincts or learned behaviors?

Learned behaviors

300

What do decomposers do in the ecosystem?

They break down dead plants and animals and return the nutrients back to the ecosystem.

What will most likely happen to the squirrel population in an area if the trees are removed?

The squirrel population will decrease or move to another area.

400

What is the job of the muscular system?

Movement (it also works with the skeletal system to move)

400

2. Organs

400

What is the difference between inherited and acquired traits?

Inherited traits are traits passed down through DNA from the parents (hair color, eye color, etc) and acquired traits are traits we get after we are born (a scar, tattoos, etc).

Respiratory system

500

Name all six body systems we have learned about.

Circulatory, nervous, skeletal, respiratory, digestive, muscular

500

What is the difference between instinct and learned behaviors?

Organisms are born knowing how to do instinct behaviors (spiders making a spider web, bears hibernating, etc) and learned behaviors are behaviors that are learned after birth (walking, running, etc)

500

Can an ecosystem survive if all of the plants die? Explain why or why not.

It can not survive because plants are the bottom of the energy pyramid. If the plants die, the herbivores have no food, which means the secondary and tertiary consumers (carnivores and omnivores) are also going to have no food.

What are the 6 terrestrial biomes we learned about?

Deciduous forest, tropical rainforest, desert, tundra, taiga, grasslands
