What is the importance of grouping organisms together?

So the species won’t be in a big mess, making it hard to find a species when we need to…

What are the features of: Arthropods (crustaceans, insects, arachnids, centipedes and millipedes)

jointed legs
bodies in sections
thick, hard exoskeleton

Crustaceans: 5-7 pairs of legs, chalky shell,they might have pincers
Insects: 3 PAIRS of legs, body in 3 sections,2 pairs of wings attached to thorax, compound eyes(i dun think that bit will be on the test though-aw)
Arachnids: 4 PAIRS of legs, body in 2 sections

okay in the target sheet the next questions are:

Know how to spot differences/similarities between organisms.

IDK i’m too lazy to write a whole essay on how you do that.

SKIN COLOR, TEXTURES, HABITATS

What features are useful for grouping organisms and which are not?

USEFUL:Body covering, eggs or not

NOT USEFUL: idk, do they poop rainbows

How do you use and produce dichotomous keys?

Study These Flashcards

Those are the:
Does the bird have a long leg?
Yes—————————–No
Yes: it is a this No: Does it poop rainbows?
Yes——————————————No
Yes: It is not a unicorn
no: it is not a unicorn

What is variation?

Study These Flashcards

a change or slight difference in condition, amount, or level, typically within certain limits.
(Varying features in a certain species)

Where does variation occur?

Study These Flashcards

IN EVERY SPECIES I THINK

What are the names of areas where organisms are found?

Habitat/ecosystem

Know that organisms are adapted to where they live

THIS IS AN ANSWER

How are some organisms adapted to living in different habitats?

Figure this out yourself. Examples: Long fur in cold environments.

What are some adaptations for living in hot and dry, cold and underwater areas?

Hot and dry: long ears to lose heat, short fur | Cold: Long fur, layer of fat (it's not blubber), small ears to conserve heat.

What changes happen in an environment?

Daily changes: Temperature change, amount of light | Seasonal: Temperature, amount of light, wind, amount of water.

How do organisms respond to daily changes?

Sleep at night, open flowers in different times, sleep in the morning, stuff like that.

How do plants respond to seasonal changes?

Protect buds, shed leaves

What are the meanings of the words predator, prey, herbivore and carnivore?

Predator: An animal that preys on others. Prey: An animal that is hunted and killed Herbivore: Only eats plants Carnivore: Only eats meat Omnivore: Eats both plants and meat

What are some adaptations of predators?

Long legs to run faster, sharp claws, teeth, beak, better senses (eyesight, scent, hearing) camouflage?

What are some adaptations of prey?

Camouflage, better senses, long legs to run faster.

How are animals adapted to their source of food?

bees and butterflies have long tongues to suck nectar | big cats have sharp teeth, sharp claws, good senses

What do food chains and webs show?

What organism eats what, and what it is eaten by Flow of energy (Thx aw, that's really important)

What are the words used to describe the different levels in a food chain?

``` Producer Consumer Predator Top predator (or you can say all the primary, secondary and tertiary stuff if you want) ```

What equipment is used for sampling?

Quadrat, sweep net, pooter

What are some sampling methods?

Use a Quadrat to 'cut out' a piece of ground in a habitat and note how many organisms live in that habitat

How do you estimate population sizes?

Take some measurements about how many organisms live in a particular area using a quadrat. Get an average number then yup k.

How do people study habitats?

IDK | if it comes up in the test just write the sampling stuff.

How do you follow instructions? IDK WHY IT WAS ON THE TASKSHEET

i don't think i can tell you that btw this was on the task sheet YOU JUST FOLLOW IT PPLL snoopy out

How do you use a quadrat?

A quadrat is a square that can be placed randomly over an area so plants can be counted Also it's Lara's Necklace

How do you sample randomly?

Turn to page 92 of ur workbook im not gonna write it here takes too much effort

What are the features of amphibians?

Amphibians: Moist skin, lay eggs in water, eggs coated in jelly

What are the features of birds?

Birds: Feathers, eggs have a hard shell, warm blooded, have wings

What are the features of mammals?

Mammals: Hair, give birth to live young, produce milk, warm blooded (4 limbs, have ears- i dont think that will b in the test but yea- aw) waaaaaaaaaaaaaait 4 limbs? dolphins: 2 flippers, 2 sides of tail? -hoi

What are the features of reptiles?

Reptiles: Dry scales, eggs have a leathery waterproof shell,cold blooded

How do animals respond to seasonal changes?

Hibernate in winter, wake up in summer, shed fur in summer and winter, migrate...Hibernate in winter, wake up in summer, shed fur in summer and winter, migrate...

How do you spell our teachers name?

Lucilla Lau YES YOU NEEDED TO KNOW THIS YOU MIGHT NEEDA WRITE IT

What does 'relationship' mean?

How one thing effects another

What does it mean for two animals to be in the same 'species'?

They can breed

What does the word Species mean?

An organism that can reproduce and give rise to fertile offspring.
