| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where can an organism survive? | Organisms can survive in an area where its basic needs can be met. |
| What are the basic needs of an organism? | Air, food, water, shelter or space, and light |
| What is a habitat | A range of conditions, for example, water, food, shelter or space, or sunlight, which allows some organisms to live. |
| What does living mean? | Living means that something is growing and developing. . |
| Can basic needs within an habitat keep all plants and animals alive? | No. it can only keep a certain number of them alive. |
| What affects the survival of a plant or animal? | The changes in a habitat. |
| What happens if there are changes within a habitat? | It would force the animals or plants to adapt to survive. |
| List some natural factors that will cause a habitat to change rapidly | disease, fire, hurricanes, landslides, volcanoes, earthquakes, temperature change rainfall amount(drought or flood) |
| Natural factors that can cause a habitat to change slowly | 1. changes in plant life due to changes in sunlight (grasses to shrubs to trees) 2. erosion- soil wears away and fewer plants will be able to survive. |
| Habitat changes can also be caused by human. Give some examples. | Clearing land to build homes, building or farmlands. Animal would have to move to another area for food and shelter. |
| How can other animals or plants cause a habitat to change? | They move into a habitat and take up space and food. |
| What is extinction? | It is the loss of an entire group of organisms. |
| When will a plant or animal become extinct? | If they cannot adapt to changes in the environment or habitat. |
| List some factors that will cause a habitat to change | volcanoes, earthquakes, fire, drought, soil erosion, changes in plant life, humans clearing land for buildings, other animals moving in. |
| What do living things require to survive? | They require energy to survive. |
| Name some animals that live in a tropical rain forest. | Venomous snakes Woolly monkeys red stinking bugs rainbow lorikeets Thornbush Orchids Elephant ear |
| Where are tropical rain forests located? | South America SE Asia West Africa Australia |
| List some features of a tropical rainforest | Heavy rainfall all year round Hot 4 layers Moss tropical plants and trees |
| Why are there lots of trees and plants in a tropical rain forest? | There is lots of rain and sunlight and the soil is very rich. |
| How are animals needs met in a tropical rainforest? | Food- seeds fruit and fish Air- lots of oxygen Space- lots of trees Light- top layer has light Water- heavy rains and rivers |
| Some examples of animals that need large areas to live are: | 1. Grazing animals need a large area for food. 2. Birds fly from tree to tree. 3. Large trees |
| Some examples of small habitats are: | 1. a water lily in a pond. 2. a squirrel that makes its nest in a tree 3. small insects living under a fallen log. |
| Where are orchids found? | Rain forests. In warm wet areas. small habitat |
| Do all living things go through a life cycle? | Yes |
| All living things go through a life cycle. They require energy to survive. True of False | True |
| What happens if there are too many predators in a habitat. | The number of prey will decrease. Soon there wouldn't be enough prey. Predators will have to adapt or have to move to other areas. |
