Darwin's famous adaptation quote is often misinterpreted to mean the strongest survive but in reality it means the best fit to the environment will survive. Tell Darwin's famous quote
Survival of the fittest.

What would happen if we had no greenhouse gases in our atmosphere?
We would drop 33c every time the sun went away.

The game of shrimp, herring, walleye, bear taught us about the concept of toxins that build within food chains. It can cause death in smaller animals and reproduction issues in larger animals.
Bioaccumulation

Which biome is this climatograph likely from?
Desert

This cycle never involves the atmosphere it is a land based cycle that involves the erosion and sedimentation of rocks
Phosphorous Cycle

The long neck giraffe was a specific adaptation to the build of the giraffe's body that allowed it to eat from taller trees than the rest of the animals, this is called a _____________
Structural adaptation

Another name for a quaternary consumer or top consumer is.
Apex predator

The North Pole where there are large polar ice caps and few animals that can survive the extreme colds
Permanent Ice

Acid Rain and Volcano Eruptions make this probably the most exciting cycle
The Sulfur Cycle

Some frogs are exhibit hermaphroditism which is the ability to switch genders in their lifetime. This adaptation allows the frog to reproduce even if there is a population dynamic in favor of one gender. This is called a
physiological adaptation

Squid - ink
Chameleon - camouflages
Lightning bug - light up but
Eel - electrical
