100

Provides support to a plant like a skeleton does for a human

Stem

100

The human respiratory system/lungs have a similar function as _________

Gills

100

These invertebrates have an exoskeleton

Arthropods

100

This condition happens when there is a shortage of water

Drought

100

Movement from one place to another

Migration

200

This produces food for a plant

Leaves

200

Means having a backbone

Vertebrates

200

These vertebrates produce milk and feed their young

Mammals

200

This condition happens when there is too many of one type of organism in a community

Overpopulation

200

Give an example of migration

Birds fly south for the winter, whales swim south for the winter months (other examples may include Canadian geese, Monarch butterflies, Salmon, Hummingbirds, caribou)

300

This anchors a plant and takes in water and nutrients

Roots

300

Means NOT having a backbone

Invertebrates

300

These vertebrates lay eggs and have feathers

Birds

300

A species NOT native to an ecosystem

Invasive species

300

Animals become dormant during winter months where their bodily functions slow down drastically and go into a resting state

Hibernation

400

Some plants in Florida have LARGE leaves. How does this help the plant?


Collects sunlight for making food

400

A natural, outer skeleton that gives insects their structure, it also provides support and protection

Exoskeleton

400

These vertebrates have scales and lungs, some lay eggs and some give birth to live young

Reptiles

400

This environment change impacts competition for resources among plants. Some trees take many years to grow back, but ground plants will thrive and grow back quickly.

Forest Fire


400

Taking on the appearance of another plant or animal

Mimicry

500

These three structures protect a plant like skin protects a human.

Spines, thorns, and bark

500

Body coverings like feathers, quills, shells and fur have what main function?

Protection

500

These cold blooded vertebrates go through metamorphosis and they use either gills or lungs.  They also lay eggs.

Amphibians

500

Some plants do this in the winter time when sunlight is less abundant and temperatures are colder. 

Similar to animal dormancy and is done to conserve energy.

Loss their leaves

500

To blend in with your surroundings

Camouflage
