what is hibernation?
a)
hibernation is a state of greatly reduced body activity, used to conserve food stored in the body.
b)
hibernation  is the movement of animals from one place to another in response to seasonal changes. They travel to other places where food is available.
c)
hibernation mechanisms vary with different types of animals.

2.
what is migration?/And some facts about it
a)
migration in animals is usually a behavioral process when adults of a species try to attract a potential mate.migration behaviors ensure that males and females of the same species recognize each other.Environmental stimuli, such as seasonal changes, will stimulate migration, such as spring.Often sensory cues such as chemical odor cues, sounds, or color will serve as migration attractants in animals.
b)
migration is a weaker animal copies stronger animals' characteristics to warn off predators. Some animals may look like another more poisonous or dangerous animal that give it protection, such as a “false” coral snake or hawk moth caterpillar that looks like a snake. Certain moths have markings that look like eyes and some flower flies resemble black and yellow wasps that have a powerful sting & use disguise to flee predators.
c)
Migration is the movement of animals from one place to another in response to seasonal changes. They travel to other places where food is available.//Migrating animals usually use the same routes year after year.The cycle is controlled by changes in the amount of daylight and the weather.
3.
what is defense?
a)
in animals is usually a behavioral process when adults of a species try to attract a potential mate.
b)
defense mechanisms vary with different types of animals.
c)
Some animals have protective coloration to survive changes in its environment. Some animals develop their camouflage in response to the weather. For example, the arctic fox and snowshoe hare develop a white coat for the winter to blend in with the snow and a gray coat in the summer to blend in with the forest. Chameleons and other lizards change colors to blend into the environment to avoid predators.

a)
The black ink cloud of an octopus is a defense mechanism because it gives the animal a chance to escape from a predator. When the horned lizard gets really scared, it shoots blood out of its eyes allowing it time to escape.
b)
This social behavior occurs when certain animals travel together in groups to protect individuals within the group or to fool a predator into thinking the group is one large organism. Examples may include herds (buffalo, zebra, cattle), packs (wolves), or schools of fish.

b)
learned behaviors-(which includes trial-and-error learning) is a behavior in which an animal learns that a particular stimulus and its response to that stimulus will lead to a good or bad result. For example, chimpanzees learn to use small sticks to dig in the soil for insects, or a child learns that touching a hot object will cause pain.

25.
what is endothermic?
a)
warm-blooded
b)
negative-blooded
c)
cold-blooded
d)
positive-blooded
26.
Animals maintain a nearly constant internal temperature and do not change with the temperature of the environment.When the outside temperature is too hot, an endothermic animal can cool off by sweating, panting, changing position, or changing location. Sweating and panting generate heat loss through evaporating water. Changing position and location allow the animal to find a cooler environment in the shade or shelter.When the outside temperature is too cold, an endothermic animal can generate heat by shivering.Endothermic animals must eat much more often than ectothermic animals since it takes energy to maintain a constant body temperature. For example, a lion must eat its weight in food every seven to ten days.WHAT IS THIS
.
a)
ectothermic
b)
endothermic
27.
Animals have an internal body temperature that changes with the temperature of the environment.They must gain heat to perform internal activities such as digestion).If the environment is cold, ________ animals become slow moving and sluggish. Some animals must bask in the Sun (for example snakes or lizards) or move to a warmer area (for example some fish) before they can move about to hunt for food.If the temperature gets too hot, ________animals will need to find a cooler temperature or burrow in the ground to keep its body cool._______animals take on the temperature of their surroundings and don't use food energy to keep warm. Therefore, they don't have to eat as often as an endothermic animal. WHAT IS THIS
a)
endothermic
b)
ectothermic
28.
Crying human babies is an ______ behavior that is often a response to hunger,thirst,or sleepiness
a)
learned
b)
inherited
29.
