4. Hermit crab and shell: ______
5. Barnacle and whale: ______

What are the methods in which predators
can catch their prey?
Why does BC have more species than any
other province?

weather?

receive from a mutualistic relationship:
Name the 3 different types of symbiotic
relationships:
Name the 5 different ways an organism can
reproduce:
How do the Galapagos Islands clearly
demonstrate natural selection?
What is the difference between how
predator and prey use their eyes to adapt?
Besides predation, name 2 other factors
that can cause a species to decline:
Define an ecosystem.
What are the methods in which prey can
avoid being caught?
Define a biome.
Define hibernation.
What is the difference between
commensalism and mutualism?
Name the 4 basics that living things need to
survive:
Living things discharge 2 gasses,
_______________________ and
_________________________.
Is this an example of physical or
behavioural adaptation?
Define parasitism and give one example.
Name the 5 abiotic parts of the
environment.
Define estuaries:
If the population of the prey increases, the
population of the predators will increase.
Places where rivers flow into the sea
Temperature
Air
Water
Soil
Climate
Why are they important?
Fresh water in rivers brings nutrients into
the ocean
Name the 4 biomes of Canada:
Define evolution:
Tundra, boreal forest, temperate rainforest,
grasslands
The change of inheritable traits of biological
populations over generations.
Why does BC have more species than any
other province?
Geography and climate are so varied: high
mountains, dry grasslands, wet coastal
forests, vast plains.
What are the five aquatic biomes?
Rivers / streams
Lakes and ponds
Estuaries
Sea shores
Coral reefs
If the population of the predators
decreases, then the population of the prey
will Increase.
Define physical adaptations:
Physical characteristics that make an
organism suited to the biome they live in.
7. Rainbow fish and turtle: C
Define behavioural adaptations:
Habits and activities that are important for
survival.
Climate is the average weather pattern of an
area
Weather is local conditions that change daily
or hourly
Why are the abiotic parts of an
environment important for the organisms?
There were too many deer, all eating the
same amount of grass, decreasing the
producers (eventually deer will decrease)
They affect how organisms interact (amount
of sunlight, temperature)
Name the 6 things that define a living
organism:
- Are made of cells
- Use energy
- Grow
- Reproduce
- Respond to stimuli
Name the 6 benefits an organism can
receive from a mutualistic relationship:
- Shelter
- Defense
- Pollination
- Nutrition
- Food
- transport
Name the 3 different types of symbiotic
relationships:
Mutualism
Commensalism
Parasitism
Define an ecosystem.
All interacting organisms that live in an
environment (abiotic parts)
What is the difference between how
predator and prey use their eyes to adapt?
Besides predation, name 2 other factors
that can cause a species to decline:
Budding
Live young
Regeneration
Eggs
Seeds / spores
Different species living on different islands
show how they adapt, are able to reproduce
(but develop different features)
Prey have eyes on side of head (almost 360 °
vision)
Being hunted
Disease / parasites
Competition (Intra or Inter)
Define hibernation.
Period of time where animals are much less
active and use less energy.
What is the difference between
commensalism and mutualism?
Predators can focus on a single point.
Name the 4 basics that living things need to
survive:
Carbon dioxide or oxygen gas from air
Water
Food
A suitable place to live
What are the methods in which predators
can catch their prey?
Walking, swimming, flying, pursuit/ambush,
camouflage
What are the methods in which prey can
avoid being caught?
Camouflage, chemical warfare, warning
coloration, mimicry, deceptive
looks/behaviours
How do the Galapagos Islands clearly
demonstrate natural selection?
Is this an example of physical or
behavioural adaptation?
Behavioural
9. Hermit crab and shell: C
Why was the island unbalanced after the
wolves left the island? (Wolf Island story)
Name the 5 different ways an organism can
reproduce:
In mutualism, both species benefit but in
commensalism, only one species benefits,
the other is neither harmed nor helped.
8. Human and tapeworm: P
10. Barnacle and whale: C
Define natural selection:
The process where organisms who are better
adapted to their environment toend to
survive, and produce more offspring
What is the difference between climate and
weather?
Name the following as Parasitism,
Mutualism, Commensalism:
6. Oxpecker and rhino: M
Living things discharge 2 gasses,
Oxygen and Carbon dioxide.
Define a biome.
Regions that have about the same
temperature and precipitation.
- Has distinct climate, soil, plants,
animals
Define parasitism and give one example.
-
One member of the relationship benefits
while the other is harmed.
Example: deer / tick
