Exam Review PG3

Check two adaptations found in rain forest animals.

• prehensile tail

• arboreal

• thick fur

• fur that changes from brown to white in winter

What is the function of these structures?

• support

• extract more water from the ground

• lift the plant out of the way of herbivores

• allow pollinators to find fruit and flowers.

The plant seen in this image is a:

• succulent

• ephemeral

• heliotropic flower.

• lichen

The biome found in these areas of the world is the:

• temperate grassland biome

• tropical grassland biome

• tundra biome

• desert biome

Which of the following activities are the greatest threat to grasslands?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Select two adaptations commonly found in temperature deciduous forest animals.

• Food caching

• Hibernation

• Estivation

• Burrowing

All deserts are:

• hot and get less than 10 inches of rain.

• cold and get less than 10 inches of rain.

• dry because they get less than 10 inches of rain.

• located on the equator.

This plant is an ephemeral and lives in desert biomes. It survives by:

• surviving as seeds and growing only when there is enough moisture.

• sucking up and storing water in its stems.

• following the path of the sun with its flowers so that it can gain heat.

• protecting itself with large thorns.

The climate of a temperate grassland can be described as:

• four seasons with 10-30 inches of precipitation.

• wet and dry seasons with 20 - 50 inches of precipitation.

• long winters, short summers with less than 10 inches of precipitation.

• four seasons with less than 10 inches of precipitation.

Select three adaptations of savanna grasses that help them survive drought, fire, and grazing herbivores.

• Fire resistant rhizomes

• Vertical blades

• Grows from the base of the plant

• Survives as seed until the rains come.
