Loggerhead sea turtles are large turtles that live in the ocean and nest on the Florida coast. The female loggerhead sea turtle lays more than 100 eggs in the beach sand before returning to the ocean. When the baby turtles hatch, many are eaten by predators before they reach the water, and others are eaten by predators in the water. Only about 1 out of every 100 turtles survives to adulthood.


Which answer BEST explains how laying a large number of eggs is an important adaptation that helps these turtles to survive?

Large numbers of eggs in one nest makes it easier to find.

If a large number of turtles hatch, that ensures the turtles have lots of brothers and sisters to help them find food

The more eggs that are laid, the higher the chance that more turtles will live to become adults

A large number of eggs in one place makes it possible for the mother to lie on the eggs until they hatch

Hurricane Andrew caused many animals in the Miami Zoo to become displaced. Two of the animals that lost their homes were the collared lemming, which has thick white fur and sharp claws, and the marsh rabbit, which has thin brown fur and is a strong swimmer. Both animals from the zoo were now free in a Florida forest.


Which animal would MOST LIKELY have a better chance of survival, and why?

The marsh rabbit because its ability to swim helps it to scare away predators

The collared lemming because its sharp claws help it grip the ice when walking

The collared lemming because its thick, white fur helps it stay warm during the winter months

The marsh rabbit because its thin, brown fur helps it blend into its environment and stay cool

A scientist that was studying a strand of pine trees in a south Florida forest noticed that after a drought, which is a period of time when the amount of rainfall is much less than normal, the tall pine trees died in larger numbers than the shorter pine trees. The scientist observed that 4% of the short pine trees in the area died during the drought, but 53% of the tall pine trees died during the same time period.


What can the scientist infer about the pine trees?

The shorter trees that did better must have an adaptation that helps them survive during a drought.

The short trees were most likely able to absorb more carbon dioxide out of the air

Someone probably came into the forest and cut down all of the tall trees

An invasive insect most likely killed the tall trees
