Unit 5 Adaptations

Multiple Choice

Animals hibernate or migrate to

• find food

• find a mate

• escape extremely cold weather

• find food, a mate, or escape extremely cold weather

Multiple Choice

Hibernation and migration are examples of

• structural adaptations

• behavioral adaptations

• physiological adaptations

• all of the above

Multiple Choice

Mimicry is when an one organism copies successful another organism. Examples of mimicry would be

• A Viceroy butterfly's structural adaptation to look like the poisonous Monarch butterfly

• swimming in a school

• hibernation

• migration

Multiple Choice

Adaptations help organisms survive in their environment. Adaptations may be

• structural (physical)

• behavioral

• physiological

• structural, behavioral, and/or physiological

Multiple Choice

A drip tips on plants in the rain forest biomes are common. This is an example of

• a physiological adaptation

• A structural adaptation

• a behavioral adaptation

• all of the above

Multiple Choice

Structural adaptations are features, internal or external, that help an organism live long enough to reproduce. Examples of structural adaptations would be

• gills in fish, bird beaks, snake fangs, hinged legs

• living in a group

• calling for a mate

• producing venom

Multiple Choice

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are examples of plant's

• structural adaptions

• behavioral adaptations

• physiological adaptations

• none of the above

Multiple Choice

Living in a group, calling for a mate, displaying tail feathers, and a rattlesnake shaking its rattle are examples of

• structural adaptations

• behavioral adaptations

• physiological adaptations

• all of the above

Multiple Choice

Behavioral adaptations in plants would be

• phototropism

• geotropism (gravitropism)

• long, anchoring roots to withstand storms

• geotropism and phototropism

Multiple Choice

A bulb's unique adaptation is its ability

• to look interesting

• to store food for longer periods of time than seeds

• to photosynthesize

• to be grown on top of the ground

Multiple Choice

An octopus's ability to produce ink, an oyster's ability to make its shell, and spiders ability to produce poison are examples of

• behavioral adaptations

• structural adaptations

• physiological adaptations

• none of the above

Multiple Choice

Otters hold "hands" while swimming so mates and families aren't separated by the currents they swim in. This is an example of a

• structural adaptation

• physiological adapation

• an unexplained occurrence

• behavioral adaptation

Multiple Choice

Most prey have eyes on the side of their heads while most predators have eyes facing forward. These are examples of

• behavioral adaptations

• structural adaptations

• physiological adaptations

• behavioral, structural, and physiological adaptations

Multiple Choice

A Venus Fly Trap is a carnivorous plant. The plants ability to make a sticky glue to suffocate insects is a _____adaptation, while its ability to snap its trap shut on contact is a _____ adaptation.

• physiological, behavioral

• structural, physiological

• behavioral, structural and physiological

• none of the above

Multiple Choice

Seeds have adaptations. Most seeds have only _______ adaptations, that allow them to be dispersed.

• behavioral

• structural

• physiological

• all of the above

Multiple Choice

These are called

"hitchhiker" seeds. What is most likely the reason

• They are frequently seen on the side of the road

• There is no known reason

• They travel by animals, humans, and in the thick down of some birds by attaching to their fur or a human's clothes

• Their structure allows to be easily dispersed by cars

Multiple Choice

Dormancy could be describes as an organism in a state of

• rest

• activity

• migration

• all of the above

Multiple Choice

Seed dispersal is how seeds are carried from one place to another so that they do not compete with parent plants. Examples of dispersal methods are

• animals carrying them in fur and being eaten- pooped out by animals

• water, gravity, mechanical propulsion (stepping on a mushroom, and the change in air pressure forces spores to shoot in the air)

• wind

• wind, water, animals, gravity, and mechanical propulsion

Multiple Choice

Flowers have special adaptations to attract pollinators. These might include

• Thorns

• A strong odor

• Soft petals, fragrance, nectar, and color

• Lack of coloration

Multiple Choice

Adaptation may be defined as

• coloration

• inherited traits that help both plants and animals survive in their environments-they may be structural, behavioral, or physiological

• the ability to get along with others

• only structural features that help organisms survive
