Answers
1
A human belongs to the phylum
Echinodermata
Cnidaria
Platyhelminthes
Chordata
2
Which description fits an ectotherm?
changes its behavior depending on the temperature each day
has to eat often to maintain internal metabolism
can live anywhere, in cold or warm climates
maintains its temperature internally
3
This plant has spores, vascular tissue, and lives in a shady spot by a creek. What is it?
a lichen
a fern
a sunflower
moss
4
What is the MAIN purpose of stomata?
absorb nitrogen gas from the air to build proteins
let water in and out of leaves when it rains
protect the leaves from diseases
let gasses like CO2 and O2 in and out of leaves
5
This group of animals has no digestive system and many members are parasites
segmented worms
arthropods
flatworms
sponges
6
Mosses can't grow big and tall because they do not have
vascular tissue
stomata on their leaves
long roots
access to sunlight
7
Molting is a process where an animal
forms a brain
sheds its exoskeleton
grows a shell
transforms from a tadpole to a frog
8
Mammals do a lot of parental care because
mammal babies can't see when they are born
mammal brains are large and need time to develop properly
all mammal babies can't stand or function on their own
mammals always have lots of offspring at one time
9
Transport tissue that carries water in plants is called
xylem
roots
phloem
cuticle
10
An example of an angiosperm would be a
Christmas Fern
Blue Spruce tree
Long leaf Pine tree
Granny Smith Apple tree
11
Where do plants get nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur?
they are created in cells during photosynthesis
they are obtained by breaking down glucose
they are transported in by the roots
they are let in by stomata in leaves
12
This group of animals has no tissues, no organs, no symmetry
slime mold
sponges
jellyfish
leeches
13
Pollen is a transport structure that carries
ovaries
embryos
seeds
sperm
14
Scientists think that the swim bladder in fish evolved into _________ in later vertebrates
lungs
the heart
the small intestine
the spinal cord
15
The conditions are bad for germination right now. Luckily the seed can wait because of...
phototropism
dormancy
vegetative reproduction
thigmotropism
16
The fleshy parts of a cactus are modified
leaves
bark
stems
roots
17
In order to attract animals for pollination, which helps reproduction, angiosperms developed
flowers
fruits
cones
seeds
18
All of these are unique characteristics of the mammal group except...
mammary glands
4 limbs
big brains
hair or fur
19
In order to aid in seed dispersal and success of reproduction, angiosperms developed
fruits
long stems
flowers
big leaves
20
Slow moving animals are often hermaphrodites, which means that
they switch from male to female when necessary
they reproduce asexually
they can produce both sperm and eggs
they produce sperm one year and eggs the next year
21
When a seed germinates, the root grows down and the shoot grows up because of
phototropism
thigmotropism
gravitropism
transpiration
22
Animals that use filter feeding as a way to get food
live in dry and mountainous habitats
always live in the water
live in wet and dark caves
live close by to streams
23
Which animals start out life with a notochord, but replace it with a full spinal chord?
tunicates
vertebrates
mollusks
arthropods
24
The advantages of an exoskeleton are
better adapted for reproduction and growth
protection of body tissues and prevention of water loss
prevention of water loss and prevention of oxygen loss
better absorption of oxygen and protection of body
25
An example of a gymnosperm would be a
Weeping Cherry tree
Loblolly pine tree
Southern Red oak tree
Red Maple tree
26
Amphibians have lungs, but they also obtain oxygen
by filtering it from the water they drink
by converting CO2 to O2 in their cells
by the gills they have as an adult
by absorbing it through their moist skin
27
All of the following describe transpiration EXCEPT
requires no ATP to work
is fueled by the sun
moves sugars to the leaves of the plant
is responsible for the movement of water up the tree
28
An example of a cartilaginous fish would be a
Giant Grouper
Bottlenose Dolphin
Largemouth Bass
Great White shark
29
All the leaves of my plant in the window have turned towards the sun. This is called
thigmotropism
vegetative reproduction
gravitropism
phototropism
30
Reptiles can live away from water because they have amniotic eggs and
scales to prevent water loss
a digestive system to process food
a brain to make decisions
legs to run quickly
31
This phylum is the most diverse and has the most members
Platyhelminthes
Chordata
Mollusk
Arthropod
32
The needles of a Loblolly Pine are actually modified
stems
xylem tissue
roots
leaves
33
An example of a mollusk would be a
jellyfish
earthworm
clam
sea star
34
It's been a very hot and dry summer. Which structure could help the tree conserve water?
cellulose in the cell walls
guard cells that surround stomata
xylem tissue in the trunk
chloroplasts in the leaves
35
Birds have lost teeth, made hollow bones, and reduced foot size because
it makes them weigh less for flight
it's easier for digestion of their food
it makes it easier to escape predators
it makes easier to attract mates
36
A disadvantage of an exoskeleton is that
it interferes with reproduction
it's heavy, so you can't get BIG
it tastes good to those who prey on you
it's brittle, so you can crack it easily
