Animals and Plants

What are the main categories of animal classification?

• Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple

• A, B, C, D, E

• Big, Medium, Small, Tiny, Microscopic

• Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species

Explain the process of photosynthesis in plants.

• Plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen.

• Plants use water, nitrogen, and oxygen to produce sunlight and glucose.

• Plants use moonlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and nitrogen.

• Plants use sunlight, oxygen, and water to produce carbon dioxide and glucose.

How do desert animals adapt to survive in their environment?

• By migrating to colder climates

• By wearing heavy fur coats

• By hibernating during the day

• By developing physical and behavioral characteristics suited to the harsh environment

Name three different classes of vertebrates.

• Trees, flowers, and bushes

• Fish, amphibians, and insects

• Mammals, birds, and reptiles

• Dogs, cats, and horses

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

• Absorbs light energy for photosynthesis

• Converts carbon dioxide to oxygen

• Provides structural support to the plant

• Regulates the temperature of the plant

What are some common adaptations of desert plants?

• Large leaf surface area

• Inability to store water

• Hibernation during the day

• Deep root systems, reduced leaf surface area, ability to store water

What are the characteristics of mammals?

• Mammals lay eggs and are cold-blooded

• Mammals have scales and gills

• Mammals have feathers and can fly

• Mammals have hair or fur, are warm-blooded, give birth to live young, and produce milk to feed their offspring.

Describe the different types of plant adaptations to conserve water in the desert.

• Plants in the desert conserve water by having thin, delicate cuticles to allow for more water loss

• Plants in the desert conserve water by having shallow root systems to access water near the surface

• Plants in the desert conserve water through various adaptations such as having deep root systems, small leaves to reduce water loss, thick waxy cuticles to prevent water loss, and succulent stems or leaves to store water.

• Plants in the desert conserve water by having large leaves to absorb more water

What is the difference between monocots and dicots?

• Size of their flowers

• Color of their leaves

• Type of soil they grow in

• Number of cotyledons in their seeds

How do desert animals regulate their body temperature to survive in extreme heat?

• By migrating to cooler regions during the hottest months

• By staying underground during the hottest part of the day and having specialized body structures to minimize water loss.

• By drinking large amounts of water to stay hydrated

• By wearing thick fur coats to insulate their bodies
