Plant and Animal Life Cycle Quiz

Which one of these animals looks closest to the adult during the second stage of life

• A
• B
• C
• D

What is a similarity between the life cycle of a frog and the life cycle of a chicken?

• Start as an egg
• Will become an adult that looks like its young
• Goes through metamorphosis (change in body structure)
• Their life cycles are the same

Plant and animal life cycles are alike because they both:

• Require the same amount of time
• Begin as an egg
• Look like their parents from the beginning stage
• Have beginning, growing, and mature stages

In the picture below, germination has begun. What does germination mean?

• to make cones
• to grow
• to reproduce
• to pollinate

This stage of the life cycle contains tiny undeveloped plants and enough food for growth to start?

• mature plant
• seedling
• seeds
• flowers

Butterflies, mosquitoes, beetles and houseflies are insects that go through four stages of their life cycle. Which diagram correctly shows the life cycle of these insects?

• A
• B
• C
• D

The image shows stages in the life cycle of a plant. Which stage should be placed at the label X?

• Germination
• Pupa
• Seedling
• Stem

A teacher displays a chart of life cycles of four different animals. The teacher asks students to identify the life cycle of the organism that goes through metamorphosis. Which student gives the correct answer?

• Student 1: The chicken undergoes metamorphosis because it lays eggs that develop into offspring.
• Student 2:The lizard undergoes metamorphosis because its offspring is smaller in size than the adult.
• Student 3: The dog undergoes metamorphosis because its offspring appears similar to the adult.
• Student 4: The beetle undergoes metamorphosis because each stage looks different from the others in appearance.

Which sequence correctly shows the stages in a plant's life cycle?

• seed -- young plant -- adult plant
• seed -- adult plant -- young plant
• adult plant -- young plant -- seed
• young plant -- seed -- adult plant

A student made two models to show the life cycle of a butterfly and a grasshopper. Based on the model, what is the difference between the life cycles of both insects?

• A butterfly's life cycle has a pupa stage, and a grasshopper's life cycle has a larva stage.
• A butterfly's life cycle has a larva stage, and a grasshopper's life cycle has a pupa stage.
• A butterfly's life cycle has a larva stage, and a grasshopper's life cycle has a nymph stage.
• A butterfly's life cycle has a nymph stage, and a grasshopper's life cycle has a larva stage.
