The picture shows two views of a certain fish. How does the appearance of this fish most likely help it survive?
Prey have little chance of seeing this fish as it approaches head-on.
The head-on view of this fish attracts predators.
The narrow body allows this fish to live in deeper water.
Predators have a hard time seeing the side view of this fish.

The yucca moth of the Arizona desert lays its eggs inside the flower of the yucca plant. When the eggs hatch, the moth larvae eat some of the plant seeds. When the moth flies away from the plant, it takes pollen from the yucca flower with it. How does the yucca moth help the yucca plant?
Lays eggs
Eats seeds
Hatches larvae
Spreads pollen
Many animals depend on plants for—
carbon dioxide
pollination
seed dispersal
nourishment
Which organism produces oxygen for other organisms?
