Ecology & Adaptations

A physiological adaptation allows an organism to survive through....

• Physcial structures on their body

• Behaviours that they exhibit

• Their pyschological makeup & attitudes

• Internal processes occuring in them

The thick white fur on a polar bear is an example of what type of adaptation?

• Behavioural Adaptation

• Structural Adaptation

• Physiological Adaptation

• Psychological Adaptation

Which of the following adaptations would NOT be helpful for an animal that is preyed upon by predators?

• Camoflague

• Spikes

• Fluffy fur

• Great sense of smell

Mammals producing milk to feed their young is an example of what type of adaptation?

• Behavioural adaptation

• Physiological adaptation

• Structural adaptation

• Pyschological adaptation

Which of the following are examples of abiotic factors?

• Herbivores

• Temperature

• Light intensity

• Predators

What biotic or abiotic factor is NOT present in this image?

• Sunlight

• Producers/plants

• Weather

• Water

When two species have ecological niches that are too similar, what does Gause's principle tell us will happen to them?

• One will outcompete & eliminate the other

• Both will die out

• Nothing, they will carry on as they are

• They will decide to change their ecological niche

The image shows which type of relationship?

• Intraspecific Relationship

• Interspecific Relationship

Bees gather nectar from flowers for food, and in doing so, pick up pollen from the flower, transferring the pollen to other plants, allowing pollination to happen. This is an example of:

• Predation

• Competition

• Parasitism

• Mutualism

Brown bears are very good at fishing. They will wait & watch the water until they can grab a salmon. This is an example of:

• Mutualism

• Commensalism

• Predation

• Competition
