100
What are the two types of plant groups?
They are flowering, and non-flowering plants.
100
What is a vertebrate? give some examples.
A vertebrate is an animal with a backbone. Examples: frogs, tigers, birds, humans...
100
What are invertebrates?
They don't have backbones.
100
What is it called when animals move to a new place?
They are migrating.
100
What are producers? give an example
Producers make their own food. All plants are producers.
200
What are flowering plants, and non-flowering plants? give examples.
Flowering plants are the largest plant group. The produce seeds.examples: magnolia, sunflower, orchids, grass... Non-flowering plants with cones do not make flowers, but they do make seeds like pine, sequoias, and fir trees. Non-flowering plants with spores do not make seeds either.
200
what are the five vertebrate categories?
They are mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians.
200
What are arthropods?
They are a group of invertebrates that have jointed legs, exoskeletons, and segmented bodies.
200
How do living things change in spring?
Many seeds germinate, buds open, and many animals have their young.
200
What are consumers? give an example
Consumers can't make their own food and have to eat other living things. All animals are consumers.
300
What is the meaning of germination?
It is the sprouting of a seed.
300
Define a mammal's traits:
They have fur or hair, lungs, nurse their young with milk, and most give birth to live young.
300
What are the three groups in the Arthropod category?
Crustacean, insect, and arachnid.
300
How do living things change in summer?
Summer is a time when plants and young animals grow and become strong.
300
What is photosynthesis? What do plants need to do it?
Photosynthesis is the process of making food/sugar and Oxygen from the sun. Plants need sunlight, water, and CO2 to do it.
400
What do seeds have inside of them?
baby flowers, and some food for them to start growing.
400
Compare and contrast amphibians and reptiles.
Amphibians start life in water with gills, and move to land with lungs, they lay their eggs in water, and have smooth soft skin. (frogs, toads, salamanders...) Reptiles hatch from dry eggs on land with lungs. They have dry, scaly skin. (lizards, crocodiles, turtles, geckos...)
400
What are insects?
They are arthropods, but they have three body parts, two antennae, and six legs.
400
What happens to living things in the fall?
In fall, leaves fall from trees, crops are harvested, and animals prepare for winter by migrating or eating enough to hibernate.
400
What is a food chain?
It is the transfer of energy from producers to consumers.
500
How do mosses and ferns reproduce?
They reproduce using spores.
500
Describe the traits of birds and fish
Fish hatch from eggs, breathe with gills, live in water, and have scales. Birds have feathers, beaks, lungs, wings, and hatch from eggs.
500
Give one example of each Arthropod group:
insect: ant arachnid: scorpion Crustacean: crab
500
What happens to living things in winter?
Some animals hibernate during winter, and some plants like trees, are dormant, or asleep.
