|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Taxonomy | A system biologists use to classify all living things
🗑
|
||||
| Homology | The idea that characteristics are passed down generations
🗑
|
||||
| Taxonomy names: | Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
🗑
|
||||
| Scientific names are made from... | The Genus and Species
🗑
|
||||
| Three aspects of adaptations | Structural
Behavioural
Physiological
🗑
|
||||
| Plant structural adaptations | Physical features that allow a plant to compete:
Formation of spines(spikes) to prevent animals eating it
Large leaves to enhance photosynthesis
Wide and shallow roots to absorb more water and nutrients
🗑
|
||||
| Plant behavioural adaptations | Shoots grow towards light to maximise photosynthesis
Flytrap can digest insects for extra nutrients
Grow towards light so can respond to changes
🗑
|
||||
| Plant physiological adaptations | Processes that allow them to compete
Formation of poison as a defence
🗑
|
||||
| Animal structural adaptations | Sharp claws to climb, dig and catch prey
Predators have eyes on front so can judge distance to prey
Prey have eyes on side to quickly spot predators
🗑
|
||||
| Animal behavioural adaptations | Rituals such as male peacocks showing feathers for mating
Using tools like monkeys using rocks to crack a nut
🗑
|
||||
| Animal physiological adaptations | Production of venom or antivenom
🗑
|
||||
| Extremophites | An organism that can survive in an extreme environment
🗑
|
||||
| Extreme environment | Somewhere where most organisms cannot survive
🗑
|
||||
| Quadrat data collecting | Used to count non moving or slow moving things
Quadrat is randomly placed and a sample is taken of the area
🗑
|
||||
| Capture, recapture | Used to count moving organisms
Capture and count animals then mark discreetly
Return with same conditions at least 24 hours later and do again but don't mark them
Total= 1st sample x 2nd samples / marked in 2nd sample
🗑
|
||||
| Transect | A line that goes across a habitat
Used to investigate the gradual change of a habitat
🗑
|
||||
| Biodiversity is important.... | To ensure that a ecosystem is not too reliant on one organism
🗑
|
||||
| Alien species | A species that is not native to the eco system. It can cause the biodiversity to become imbalanced by introducing new diseases or simply eating too much.
🗑
|
||||
| Ecosystem is... | The interaction between a community of living organisms
🗑
|
||||
| Community... | Two or more organisms
🗑
|
||||
| Population.... | Total number of species in an area
🗑
|
||||
| Food chain levels... | Producer (Photosynthesises)
Primary Consumer (Herbivore)
Secondary Consumer
Tertiary Consumer
🗑
|
||||
| Interdependence | All organisms within an ecosystem rely on one another. Fluctuations in one population can impact all organisms
🗑
|
||||
| Competition | All organisms must compete for the fundamental things for living. Competition can be interspecies or intraspecies
🗑
|
||||
| Abiotic factors (8) | Non-living factors
-Light intensity
-Temperature
-pH soil
-Moisture levels
-Wind intensity
-Carbon dioxide levels
-Oxygen levels
🗑
|
||||
| Biotic factors (4) | Living factors
-Food
- Predators
-Pathogens
-Alien species
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
