Adaptation & Ecosystem

What is camouflage in animals?

• Camouflage in animals is the ability to stand out in their surroundings.

• Camouflage in animals is the ability to fly.

• Camouflage in animals is the ability to blend in with their surroundings.

• Camouflage in animals is the ability to change colors instantly.

Name one example of an animal that uses camouflage to blend into its environment.

• Butterfly

• Elephant

• Chameleon

• Lion

What is a habitat?

• A scientific term for animal behavior

• Artificial environment where an organism lives

• A type of food source for organisms

• Natural environment where an organism lives

Explain the concept of a food chain.

• A food chain is a sequence of organisms where each organism consumes only plants and not other animals.

• A food chain is a circular sequence of organisms where each organism consumes the one below it and is consumed by the one above it.

• A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms where each organism consumes the one below it and is consumed by the one above it.

• A food chain is a random sequence of organisms where each organism consumes any other organism it encounters.

How do animals benefit from migration?

• Animals benefit from migration by starting a band

• Animals benefit from migration by finding better food sources, suitable breeding grounds, escaping harsh weather conditions, reducing competition for resources, and avoiding predators.

• Animals benefit from migration by flying to the moon

• Animals benefit from migration by learning new languages

Describe the predator-prey relationship in an ecosystem.

• Predator-prey relationship results in the extinction of both species involved.

• Predator-prey relationship involves one organism hunting and consuming another organism for food.

• Predator-prey relationship involves mutualistic interactions between organisms.

• Predator-prey relationship is characterized by both organisms feeding on plants.

How does climate affect the adaptation of animals?

• Climate only affects plants, not animals

• Climate selects for traits that help animals survive and reproduce in specific environmental conditions.

• Animals can adapt instantly to any climate

• Climate has no impact on animal adaptation

Why is it important for animals to adapt to their environment?

• Animals adapt to their environment to show off

• Animals need to adapt to their environment to survive and thrive.

• Animals adapt to their environment to cause chaos

• Animals adapt to their environment for fun

Give an example of an animal that has adapted to a cold climate.

• Walrus

• Polar bear

• Arctic fox

• Snow leopard

Explain how the balance of predator and prey populations is crucial for an ecosystem.

• An imbalance of predator and prey populations has no impact on the ecosystem

• Overgrazing is beneficial for maintaining ecosystem health

• Having only predators in an ecosystem leads to increased biodiversity

• The balance of predator and prey populations is crucial for an ecosystem as it helps maintain biodiversity, prevent overgrazing, and ensure the health of the ecosystem.
