17 Questions
Draw and label a diagram of the water cycle. Be sure to include its source of
energy. Be sure to have all labels.Diagram WITH labels..
What happens during condensation? Does Earth only experience
condensation in the clouds? Why or why not?
Condensation happens when: the outer temperature of something is hotter than the
inner temperature.
Condensation doesn’t only happen in the clouds. I know this because: condensation
can happen at any time if the outer temperature of something is hotter than the
inner temperature.
Draw and label a diagram of the carbon dioxide/oxygen cycle. Include
producers & animals and add what would happen we got more producers on
animal in an ecosystem. If we had too many
plants, then we would have too much oxygen in
the air.
If we had too many animals or pollution,
then we would have too much carbon in the air.
Describe the differences in inherited traits vs. learned behaviors. Give 5+ examples of each.
Inherited traits: are traits living thing this are BORN with
Examples: Hair color, eye color, height, diseases
Learned Behaviors: are actions living things learn DURING their lives
Examples: learning how to … walk, cook, hunt, swim
Define the following & give at least 2 examples of each:
-producer -consumer -decomposer -herbivores -carnivores -omnivores -
scavenger -nicheProducers: make their own food Ex: flowers, trees
Consumer: something that needs to eat to survive/cannot make its
own food Ex: cats, dogs
Decomposer: breaks down dead plants and animals
Ex: bacteria, fungi
Herbivores: eats ONLY plants Ex: giraffe, rabbit
Omnivores: eat BOTH plants and animals
Ex: humans, bears
Scavengers: eats DEAD plants and animals
Ex: vultures, hyenas
Niche: the role an animal has in its environment Ex: humans release C2O for plants, plants release Ox for humans
How are the teeth different of a herbivore vs. a carnivore? Can they
decide one day to change their diet? Why?
Herbivore teeth: flat for grinding plants
Carnivore teeth: sharp for grabbing, catching, and killing prey
Could they change their diet? Why?: Herbivores
couldn’t because they wouldn’t be able to kill their prey, but carnivores could because their teeth could
break apart the plants
Put the following food chains in the correct order & identify the following
organisms as producer, consumer, predator, prey, or scavenger.
#1: Seal, seaweed, polar bear, sun
#2: Hawk, sun, rabbit, grass,
vulture#1: sun(producer), seaweed(producer, prey),
seal(consumer, prey), polar bear(consumer, predator)
#2: sun(producer), grass(producer, prey), rabbit(consumer, prey), hawk(consumer,
prey, predator), vulture(consumer, predator)
List 4 different possibilities that would happen if one of the
organisms in your food chains from question #10 died.
If the seed was taken away the plants wouldn’t grow
If the plants didn’t grow they couldn’t release oxygen
if the plants didn’t release oxygen Animals would run out of air
if the animals didn’t have enough air they would all die
Define and list the similarities and differences in complete &
incomplete metamorphosis. **Be sure to draw an example of an
animal’s metamorphosis for each – and label each stage!
Both metamorphosis’s include stages animals
go through to reach adult hood accept a different amount of
phases.
Describe the function/purpose of each plant part: seed, flower,
leaf, stem, rootSeed: protect plant till it’s ready to grow
Flower: attract pollinators
Leaf: photosynthesis
Stem: bring water to leaves, and nutrients to the
roots
Root: to collect water
Do all plants need the same amount of sunlight, water, and nutrients in the soil?
Explain with examples.No, plants have adapted to their environment over
the hundreds of years of their existences so certain species have different needs than others, such as
cacti only needs a small drink every month because it can store water in side of itself, where as a daisy
needs watering every day to stay healthy.
List the 3 ways seeds mainly travel.
Seeds travel by:1.wind
2.animals3.water
List 4+ possibilities how a plant population would decrease.
Plants in an ecosystem could decrease if…1.flood
2.forest fire
3.drought
4.volcano
Choose an animal that lives in a desert and list 3 adaptations (1 adaptation must help it survive in its
climate).
Kangaroo rat
burrow in sand
long tail
brown fur blends in with sand
Describe how a cactus adapts and its niches in its environment.
Cactus’ adaptations:Shallow roots that absorb water, quills to protect is self, can
store water.
Cactus’ niches (jobs): a hallow cactus can be protective home to a animal
Describe a deciduous forest biome in detail with pictures.
Deciduous forest biome… deciduous forests are a type of forest were the dominant
species of trees live
Describe a tundra biome & the organisms in it. Include plant
and animal adaptations for survival
Biome: The tundra is cold, and flat with no plant life
Animals: polar bears and seals both have thick blubber layers to keep them warm
Plants: no plant life
