What 2 things do the petals do

Protect the reproductive organs in the bud

2. Attract pollinators to the flower

Pollination

When pollen falls on the sticky stigma and the male cell fertilizes the female cell in the ovule, this forms a seed and the overly swells into a fruit

Germinate

When a seed begins to sprout

Energy is measured in…

Joules

In a food chain or web energy is passed from one link to another, each link in the food chain is called a …

Trophic level

What percentage of food energy does an organism use for itself

90%

What happens to the other 10%

Goes into new body cells and is available to the next animal when it gets eaten

What does an energy pyramid show

It shows the loss of energy at each trophic level

What is always on trophic level 1

Producers (autotroph)

What is always on trophic level 2

Primary consumer

What is always on trophic level 3

Secondary consumer

What is at the top of the pyramid

Apex preditor

What is one of the most important aspect of an animal’s biology

The diets

An animals diet helps shapes its…

Behavior Health Survival

What is dentition

The development and arrangement of animals teeth

What are 2 ways that you can learn about the behavior health and survival of an animal

By its dentition and by its skull

carnivores teeth and skull

Teeth for tearing | Skulls capable of biting with great force

Herbivores teeth and skulls

Teeth and skulls made for grinding vegetation

Omnivour teeth and skulls

sutible for a wide range of foods

Paleontologist

Is a person who studies bones and teeth of mostly of extinct animals, can determine their diet by looking at a few teeth or skull fragments

Teeth assist animals in…

Obtaining food | Breaking food own for digestion and absorption

Why are there different types of teeth

Because different teeth have different functions

3 types of teeth

Incisors Canines Pre-molars Molars

Incisors

front teeth used to cut into bite sized chunks

Canines

Sharp pointed fangs, grip and tear chunks off meat and other food s

Pre-molars and molars

Double teeth, crush and grind food

Top jaw

Maxila

Bottom jaw

Mandible

Facts on carnivores

1. Only eat meat 2. Have sharp serrated teeth 3. Molars for and incisors 4. Most important teeth for carnivores are their canine teeth and the temporalis muscles, this is how they kill their prey

What is the muscle called that is responsible for pulling the jaw up and back

Temporaries muscle

What are the two attachment points for the temporalise muscle

The jaw and the top of the skull

What is the name of the enlarged ridge that some preditor have that is an attachment point for the muscle

Sagittal crest

What animal uses its canine teeth to sever their preys spinal cords

Cats

What is special bout a snake teeth

They are hollow and have poison inside that they can inject into their prey

How do serrated teeth make them more affective at slicking through flesh

Increases the surface area for cutting and gives good grip on their prey

What kind of teeth do herbivores have

They have several pairs of broad molars to grind leafs, Shutes and twigs .Most do not have canines they have large insisors for clipping or tearing veagtaion on the lower jaw

What is diastema

It’s the gap between the front and back teeth that herbivores have and its used to pull through plant material as they continue chewing

Name a example of a herbivore with evolved teeth that arn’t used to feed

Tusk of elephant, tusks are eveloved insisors used for protection

Def for (maxilla)

Upper jaw

Skull of herbivores

Jaw moves sideways, upper boney plate in their mouth

Omnivores teeth

Have sharp insisors, pointed canines, flat pre-molars and molars

What do all food webs and food chains end up with

Decomposers

Define a decomposer

An organism that decomposes or breaks down organic material such an the remain of dead organisms Eg. Bacteria, fungi, worms, beetles

What is decomposition an important process

Because it allows organic material and nutrients to recycled in an ecosystem

What do the arrows represent in a food web

The passing along of energy from one organism to another

What are the different beaks for Birds

``` Meat eater(hook) Seed eater (short pointy to crack nuts) Fruit and nut eaters; Nectar feeder(long straw like beak) Fish eater (pointed beak to stab prey) ```

What are the different insect mouth pieces used for

Chewing Pricing Siphoning(sucking) Sponging

Predictors eyes are located at the front of their head, why?(3)

Stay focused on what’s ahead They don’t get distracted Good depth perception

Prey usually have their eyes at the side, why?

Wide range of vision | See various escape routes

What are some adaptation strategies that some animals have

Protective coloring Camouflage Mimicry

Protective coloring

Blending Warning (use it bright colors) Confusion (zebra stripes)

Camouflage

Color | Shape

mimicry def

When an animal bears a close resemblance, looks or sounds like an other animal

Model

Dangerous animal
