The images in Question 1 are a model for the life cycles of these three types of birds. What do the arrows represent in this model?

• The arrows represent a major event in the life cycle of each bird.
• The arrows represent a certain amount of time passing.
• The arrows don’t represent anything in the model.

Animals have life cycles. This means that life continues, even though death is a part of the cycle. Look closely at your model of the frog life cycle. Where would you add a dashed line to this model to show how the frog life cycle will continue, even though death is part of the life cycle?

• From Death to Birth (Hatch from an Egg)
• From Have Babies to Birth (Hatch from an Egg)
• From Growth to Death

What would happen if you removed the bumblebee from part 3 of the model?

 
There may be more than one correct answer. Choose all correct answers.

• The plant will produce less fruit (tomatoes) because the bumblebee helps pollinate the flowers.

• The plant will produce fewer seeds because there will be less fruit. With fewer seeds there will be fewer tomato plants in the future.

• The current adult tomato plant will die because it needs the bumblebee to survive.

• The current plant will not produce flowers because the plant needs the bumblebee to grow flowers.
