What is an adaptation?
A section of DNA that codes for a specific feature of an organism.
A characteristic that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.
Also known as an organisms "job"
The second phase of photosynthesis
Which of the following describes a Structural Adaptation?
Physical features that have developed over time to help an organism survive.
A type of adaptation that can be instinctive or learned and deals with how an organism acts to survive.
A type of adaptation that allows an organism to perform special functions within its body.
Which of the following describes a Behavioral Adaptation?
Physical features that have developed over time to help an organism survive.
A type of adaptation that can be instinctive or learned and deals with how an organism acts to survive.
A type of adaptation that allows an organism to perform special functions within its body.
Which of the following describes a Physiological Adaptation?
Physical features that have developed over time to help an organism survive.
A type of adaptation that can be instinctive or learned and deals with how an organism acts to survive.
A type of adaptation that allows an organism to perform special functions within its body.
What is Natural Selection?
A differing characteristic between organisms of the same species.
A chart that scientists use to name new species, such as the ones found on the Galapagos islands.
Humans selecting the specific genes they want in certain organisms.
Organisms that are better suited for their environment will survive and reproduce.
What is a Variation?
A differing characteristic between organisms of the same species.
A chart that scientists use to name new species, such as the ones found on the Galapagos islands.
Humans selecting the specific genes they want in certain organisms.
Organisms that are better suited for their environment will survive and reproduce.
Who was the scientist that was known for his work on natural selection?
Charles Barkley
Gregor Mendel
Charles Darwin
Erwin Schrodinger
What is Selective Breeding?
A differing characteristic between organisms of the same species.
A chart that scientists use to name new species, such as the ones found on the Galapagos islands.
Humans selecting the specific genes they want in certain organisms to give them favorable attributes.
Organisms that are better suited for their environment will survive and reproduce.
How was natural selection shown with the Galapagos Finches?
They migrated when it got cold to survive
They had specific songs to find a mate
They had a unique beak shape based on the food on their island

Primary Succession starts with ...
Bare Rock
Soil
An ecosystem
A catastrophic event
Secondary Succession starts with ...
Bare Rock
Soil
An ecosystem
A catastrophic event
What is a Pioneer Species?
A species that changes location
The first species in an ecosystem
The first species to die out during a catastrophic event
The decomposer in a food web
What is a climax community?
The tallest trees and organisms that live there in an ecosystem
The stable ecosystem that no longer goes through stages of succession
The beginning of ecological succession when the most growth can happen
The top level consumers in an ecosystem
What happens in Secondary Succession that makes growth of the ecosystem happen?
A farmer adds more seeds to the ecosystem
A catastrophic even of some kind wipes out the ecosystem
The soil can no longer sustain life
All the organisms leave an ecosystem making room for new food webs to develop
What is Biodiversity?
A type of catastrophic event cause by wide spread of disease in plants
Genetic variation in organisms in an ecosystem that allows for a healthy environment
The ability of organisms to develop traits over time to make them better suited for survival
A form of selective breeding involving plants
Why is biodiversity so important?
It allows for ecosystems to adjust to disturbances like wildfire, flood, and drought without wiping out the whole thing.
It allows organisms to share the same habitat and niche without causing extinction
It removes the need for multiple levels of the food web
It increases the amount of energy transferred between levels of the food chain
What is sustainability?
The ability of an organism to hibernate through winter without waking up
The ability of a flower to attract pollinators
An ecosystems ability to survive over time and avoid collapse
The ability for a birds nest to not fall apart
Abiotic means ..
Living
Non-Living
Biotic means ..
Living
Non-Living
