Multiple Choice

The blue tongued lizard consumes fruits and insects. How can scientist classify this lizard?

• producer

• herbivore

• omnivore

• carnivore

Multiple Choice

What do herbivores eat to get energy?

• They eat plants.

• They eat only meat.

• They eat both plants and meat.

• They produce their own food.

Consumer: An organism that CANNOT produce its food so it must consume a producer or another consumer for energy.

• Herbivore: consumes only PLANTS

• Omnivore: consumes BOTH plants and meat

• Carnivore: consumes only MEAT

Multiple Choice

Goats consume hay for energy. Jaguars consume deer and monkey for energy. Armadillos eat bugs and fruit for energy. Based on the information above, which animal is a carnivore?

• Goat

• Jaguar

• Armadillo

• Panther

Multiple Choice

Tigers stalk their prey to help them hunt. Where does the tiger learn this behavior?

• The tiger learns this from its instinct.

• The tiger is born knowing how to do this.

• The tiger learns this from its mother

• The tiger learns this from its inherited behavior.

Learned Behavior

A behavior that is learned or experienced.

Example: A bear cub watches its mother to learn how to catch fish.

Multiple Choice

The arctic fox is white in the winter and grey in the summer. What is the cause of this change?

• learned behavior

• environmental change

• instinct

• hibernation

Multiple Choice

The opossum and rabbit are two animals found in the U.S.. The opossum has opposable thumbs on its hind feet to help it grasp when climbing. When it feels threatened, the opossum will "play dead" by lying on their back and becoming unresponsive to any stimuli. The rabbit has strong legs and lies on its back, unresponsive, when threatened. Based on this information, what adaptation is similar between these two animals?

• Both the rabbit and the opossum use their legs to escape from predators.

• Both animals are able to use their climbing skills to evade from predators.

• Both animals live in the same habitat.

• Both animals become unresponsive to avoid predators.

Multiple Choice

Some animals do not care for their eggs and young. An example of this is a white tree frog. This organism can lay up to 1,000 eggs. Why is laying this many eggs so important?

• These frogs lay more eggs so the mother can take care of them.

• These frogs lay so many eggs to that their young have a greater chance of survival.

• These frogs lay more eggs so the eggs can protect one another.

Adaptations

Characteristics of an organism that increases its chances of survival in an environment.

Types of adaptations

• Life cycle variations: laying more eggs to increase chance of survival.

• Physical (Structural): adjustments to the internal or external structures to increase chance of survival

• Behavioral Adaptations: ways that animals behave to increase chance of survival

Multiple Choice

Charles is trying to find a leaf grasshopper in his backyard. He is having trouble finding it due to its leaf-like camouflage. How does this camouflage help a leaf grasshopper in the wild?

• The grasshopper will be able to lay more eggs.

• The grasshopper will be able to fly better.

• The grasshopper will have a low chance of survival.

• The grasshopper will have a better chance of survival.

Multiple Choice

In the rainforest, some monkeys eat fruit and some jaguars eat monkeys. What is the relationship between monkeys and jaguars?

• Monkeys are predators and jaguar are prey.

• Monkeys are producers and jaguars are consumers.

• Monkeys are prey and jaguar are predator

• Both animals are carnivores.

Predator vs. Prey

• Predators are organisms that hunt and eat other organisms (prey) for energy

• Prey are organisms that are hunted and/or eaten by another organism (predator) for energy.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is the correct order for a food chain?

• Producer -> Sun -> Consumer

• Sun -> Consumer -> Producer

• Sun -> Producer -> Producer

• Sun -> Producer -> Consumer

Multiple Choice

What is the role of the zebra in this food chain?

• source of energy

• consumer

• producer

• omnivore

Fill in the Blank

Where do producers get their energy from in the food chain?

Food Chain

• ALL food chains get their energy from the Sun

• Energy is transferred from the Sun through the food chain.

• Producers (plants) receive energy from the Sun and use it with water and carbon dioxide to produce their own food

• Consumers (animals) are unable to make their own food and must consume a producer or another consumer for energy

Multiple Choice

Which of these will be able to produce its own food?

• Bear

• Flower

• Frog

• Alligator

Multiple Choice

In a forest, bear and deer both use trees for food. What impact will removing these organisms from the forest most likely have on the trees?

• The tree population would increase.

• The tree population would decrease.

• The bear population would decrease.

• The deer population would increase.

Multiple Choice

Sasha notices animals in her yard gathering and storing more food than usual. What inference can she make from this observation?

• Winter is coming.

• Spring is coming.

• Summer is coming.

• The air temperature is getting warmer.

Seasonal Response

Hibernation: A period of animal inactivity during harsh weather (winter) when food is hard to find. Animals will slow down their processes to use less energy.

Multiple Select

Select all that are examples of inherited behaviors.

• Bird migration

• Chimpanzees learning how to use tools.

• Spiders spinning webs

• Baby sea turtles hatching and getting to the ocean.

Inherited Behavior (instinct)

These behaviors are not learned or experienced. It is a certain way of acting when an animal is born.
