How does the swim bladder affect the way the fish swim?
It helps control the way the fish swims up or down
200
How do scientists classify different organisms? and how does it help?
it's called binomial nomenclature and it helps because its easy to organize them, and their names have information about it.
200
Why do biotic factors need abiotic factors to live?
Biotic factors need abiotic factors to survive because abiotic factors include sunlight and water and the biotic factors use that to live.
200
What are the steps for the scientific method?
state the problem-->research-->hypothesis-->experiment -->conclusion
300
how does climate affect what kinds of animals live in a biome?
Animals have to be able to live in the climate that's just right for them, it can't be too cold or too hot.

how do you tell the difference from a female blue crab to a male?
The bottom of the male is pointier and the bottom of a female is triangular

We can feel it, and it carries around seeds and sometimes knocks trees down

What are living things made up of?
They are made up of cells and atoms
400
Why do the top of the energy pyramid have the least energy?
they are carnivores and eat other animals and those animals don't have as much energy as the producers do, so when the top of the pyramid eats them, they don't get as much energy
400
What is the water cycle?
When the water from the rain falls, then evaporates into the air then becomes a cloud and then rains again.
500

how does form follows function apply to a fish?
The fish have slimy scales so it is easier to glide through the water. They also have a swim bladder so it's easier to control when it's going down or up.
500
What is the theory of spontaneous generation? what about bio-genesis? How was spontaneous generation disproved?
Spontaneous generation is the theory that living things come from non living things and bio genesis is the theory that living things only come from living things. Spontaneous generation was disproved because Redi did an experiment with meat and flies that disproved spontaneous generation
500
Give 3 examples why climate affects abiotic factors.
Yes it does for example, if it is very cold, some abiotic factors shrink, such as the roads or metal. Water will also freeze if it is very cold. If it is very hot, the water become warmer and sometimes, if it is too hot, a fire might start.

What is the difference between a chordate and a vertebrates?
