Plants and animals have been known to change to fit the changes in their habitats through out time. Plants and animals depend on each other for survival needs in the ecosystem. Take the test below and see just how much you know about plant interdependence and adaptation. All the best!

Questions and Answers

1.

Plants need which of the following in order to photosynthesise?
- A.
  
  Water, light and nutrients
- B.
  
  Water, warmth and oxygen
- C.
  
  Light, food and warmth
Correct Answer
A. Water, light and nutrients

Explanation
Plants need water, light, and nutrients in order to photosynthesize. Water is essential for the process as it is used to transport nutrients and maintain cell structure. Light is needed to provide energy for photosynthesis, as plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, are necessary for plant growth and development. Without any of these three components, plants would not be able to carry out photosynthesis effectively and would struggle to survive.

The green pigment in plants called chlorophyll, enables plants to trap sunlight energy
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Some plants have other pigments in their leaves that make them yellow, orange and red. These are all different types of chlorophyll pigments that trap sunlight energy

Plants use the sunlight energy in a process called respiration
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The sunlight energy is used in a process called photosynthesis in which plants make food. Respiration uses the chemical energy trapped in food to provide energy for the seven life functions.All living things respire but only plants photosynthesize.

Plants provide all the food in a habitat
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Plants are always at the start of a food chain. they are also termed producers because they supply all the food in a habitat. They are the only organisms that can make their own food.

An invertebrtae is an animal without a ----------------------.

Correct Answer
Backbone

Explanation
An invertebrate is an animal without a backbone. This means that it lacks a vertebral column, which is a defining characteristic of vertebrates. Invertebrates make up the majority of animal species on Earth and include various groups such as insects, worms, mollusks, and jellyfish. Without a backbone, invertebrates have a more flexible body structure and rely on other means of support and movement.

A ----------------- is the place where something lives.

Correct Answer
Habitat

Explanation
A habitat is the natural environment or surroundings where a particular organism or species lives. It provides the necessary resources and conditions for the organism to survive and thrive. Habitats can vary greatly depending on the specific needs of the organism, such as temperature, food availability, and shelter. The term habitat is commonly used in the context of wildlife and ecology to describe the specific location or area where an organism or species can be found.

9.

Insects are invertebrates that have ________ legs , ________ body parts and ________ wings

Correct Answer
six, 6
three, 3
two, 2

Explanation
Insects are classified as invertebrates because they do not have a backbone. They typically have six legs, which allow them to move and navigate their environment. In addition to their legs, insects also have three body parts: the head, thorax, and abdomen. These body parts serve different functions, such as housing their sensory organs, muscles, and digestive system. Lastly, most insects have two pairs of wings, which enable them to fly. These wings are attached to the thorax and play a crucial role in their movement and survival.

What term describes the role or function of an organism in its ecosystem?

Correct Answer
Niche, niche

Explanation
A "niche" refers to the role or position of an organism within its ecosystem, encompassing its behavior, dietary habits, and the ecological interactions it engages in. This concept highlights how an organism fits into and interacts with its environment, including both its physical habitat and its relationship with other species. A niche is a critical aspect of ecological studies as it details the specific adaptations and interdependencies that enable species to survive and thrive in their respective ecosystems.
