UNIT 1 QUIZ
HONEYBEE 1 point each – to answer, you can write, sketch and label, or both.
1-3.) Tell us how honey bees are important to their ecosystem using the three
vocabulary terms: POLLINATOR, POLLEN, and ENVIRONMENT
Pollinators, such as honeybees, collect and carry pollen to flowers
in and around their environment. Not only do they help flowers
reproduce, they too use the pollen to make honey.
SEEDS 1 point each – to answer, you can write, sketch and label, or both.
4-5.) Explain the process of seed  flower using the vocabulary terms:
GERMINATION and REPRODUCTION
As the seed coat falls off, and the food storage is used to grow,
the stem begins to sprout out of the ground. This whole process
of seed to plant is called germination. Once the flower has
matured, seeds and/or pollen are dispersed by wind, animals,
etc., which causes the reproduction of plants.
ADAPTATIONS 1 point each. In The table below, provide an example of
an animal and their adaptation.
BEHAVIORAL
STRUCTURAL
Birds migrate in the winter
Polar bears have thick fur for
for food
harsh winters

8. CIRCLE THE CORRECT BOLDED WORD: vocalization / plumage is a behavioral adaptation
9. CIRCLE THE CORRECT BOLDED WORD: Vocalization / plumage is a structural adaptation
10. Now go back and include the vocabulary term PREDATOR to any one of the
above scenarios. Explain how it fits. Underline it.

UNIT 1 QUIZ
A predator can fit in all three of the situations above.
 SITUATION ONE HONEYBEES:
o
Once bees sense danger, such as a predator, they can
use their stingers to protect themselves.
 SITUATION TWO SEEDS:
o Predators can stop plants from reproducing. For
example, a deer in a field. If they begin eating crops,
they could interrupt the germination cycle of a plant.
 SITUATION THREE BEHAVIORAL VS STRUCTURAL:
o A lot of animals have structural and behavioral
adaptations to protect themselves from predators. For
example, Porcupines have quills to protect themselves
(structural). Bees swarm and sting if they are
threatened (behavioral)
