Multiple Choice

How does the adaptation of camouflage help protect animals from predators?

Animals are able to sleep during the cold winter months and do not have to look for food.

Animals are able to blend into their surroundings and not be seen by predators.

Animals are able to scare away their predators.

Animals are able to travel to a warmer habitat.

Multiple Choice

Why do the spines on a cactus MOST LIKELY discourage animals from eating it?

The spines are sharp and pointy, so they may hurt the animals.

The spines contain toxins that will make the animals itch.

The animals are afraid of the color of the spines.

The spines contain water and the animals do not like to drink water.

Multiple Choice

Many animals hibernate during the winter, when they spend most of their time sleeping. This behavior is an adaptation that helps animals in which of the following ways?

Allowing them to avoid the harsh sun and rains

Building strong muscles for fighting enemies

Conserving energy when food is hard to find

Making them easy for predators to see

Multiple Choice

A species that plays a critical role in the health, maintenance, growth, or definition of an ecosystem.

keystone

invasive

engineer

predator

Multiple Choice

An endangered species is

One whose numbers are so small that it is at risk of extinction

One whose not been spotted after many years.

One whose numbers are abundant.

Multiple Choice

Why are keystone species important for biodiversity?

They are the most numerous species in their ecosystems.

They provide food for all other species.

They help to maintain the structure and integrity of the ecosystem.

They have no predators, ensuring their survival.

Multiple Choice

A species that is very sensitive to environmental changes and can help humans identify if the habitat is suffering.

indicator

umbrella

predator

mutualist

Multiple Choice

How can the removal of a keystone species affect an ecosystem?

It can increase biodiversity.

It can lead to a more stable ecosystem.

It can cause a trophic cascade and disrupt the ecosystem balance.

It has no significant effect.

Multiple Choice

What does it mean when an animal is endangered?

Something once lived but no longer exists.

Animals that is at risk of extinction.

Place that protects animals at risk.

Multiple Choice

What does it mean when an animal is extinct?

Something once lived but no longer exists.

Animals that is at risk of extinction.

Place that protects animals at risk.

Multiple Choice

What is an indicator species?

A species that is the most abundant in an ecosystem

A species that provides information about the health of an ecosystem

A species that is the largest predator in an ecosystem

A species that is used for commercial purposes

Multiple Choice

What role do indicator species play in conservation biology?

They help identify areas that need protection

They are used to increase biodiversity

They are bred in captivity for release

They are used to control pest populations
