    These SUCCULENTS (water holders) are found in which biome? - ProProfs

    These SUCCULENTS (water holders) are found in which biome?

    • Savanna

    • Desert

    • Taiga

    Correct Answer
    A. Desert
    Explanation
    Succulents are plants that have adapted to arid environments by storing water in their leaves, stems, or roots. They are commonly found in desert biomes, where water is scarce and the climate is dry. In deserts, succulents thrive due to their ability to retain water and survive in extreme conditions.

    Which biome has huge leaves, waxy tops to help water runoff to the ground? - ProProfs

    Which biome has huge leaves, waxy tops to help water runoff to the ground?

    • Deciduous Forest

    • Savanna

    • Coniferous Forest

    • Rainforest

    Correct Answer
    A. Rainforest
    Explanation
    Rainforests have huge leaves and waxy tops to facilitate water runoff to the ground. The large leaves allow for maximum surface area for capturing sunlight, while the waxy tops help to repel water and prevent it from saturating the leaves. This adaptation is necessary in rainforests, which receive high amounts of rainfall throughout the year. The ability to efficiently shed water helps prevent the leaves from becoming waterlogged and allows for better absorption of sunlight for photosynthesis.

    In which biome would an animal who absorbs nutrients directly from water THRIVE?

    • Coniferous Forest

    • Freshwater aquatic

    • Desert

    Correct Answer
    A. Freshwater aquatic
    Explanation
    An animal that absorbs nutrients directly from water would thrive in the freshwater aquatic biome. This is because the freshwater aquatic biome consists of bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, and ponds, which provide the necessary environment for the animal to absorb nutrients directly from the water. In contrast, the coniferous forest biome is a terrestrial biome dominated by trees, and the desert biome is characterized by arid conditions with limited water availability, making them unsuitable for an animal that relies on absorbing nutrients from water.

    Which TWO organisms would HIBERNATE in the winter?

    • Bushes

    • Trees

    • Bears

    • Snakes

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Bears
    A. Snakes
    Explanation
    Only animals hibernate. Plants DO NOT hibernate. Plants do dormancy during the winter.

    Which picture shows NEGATIVE PHOTOTROPISM? - ProProfs

    Which picture shows NEGATIVE pHOTOTROPISM?

    • A

    • B

    Correct Answer
    A. A
    Explanation
    Negative phototropism is when plants grow away from direct sunlight toward the shade. They don't want to dry out.

    Which biome would have animals that would BURROW (dig) into the ground during the day so they can hunt at night?

    • Desert

    • Deciduous Forest

    • Tundra

    Correct Answer
    A. Desert
    Explanation
    These animals are staying out of the hot sunlight during the day. They hunt at night to avoid the heat and sunlight of a desert.

    What TWO facts would be true if EUTROpHICATION happened in a pond?

    • Too little nutrients available

    • Too much algae & plants grow

    • Oxygen is DEPLETED for the fish

    • Too many animals around

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Too much algae & plants grow
    A. Oxygen is DEPLETED for the fish
    Explanation
    If eutrophication occurs in a pond, it means that there is an excessive amount of nutrients available in the water. This abundance of nutrients leads to an overgrowth of algae and plants, resulting in too much algae and plants growing in the pond. Additionally, this excessive growth leads to a depletion of oxygen in the water, which negatively affects the fish population. Therefore, the two true facts if eutrophication happened in a pond would be too much algae and plants growing and oxygen depletion for the fish.

    What would be the direction of SUCCESSION (change) of an ecosystem?

    • MATURE (older) species stay MATURE.

    • PIONEER (new) species develop into a MATURE species.

    • MATURE (older) species would die off slowly to make an empty lot.

    Correct Answer
    A. PIONEER (new) species develop into a MATURE species.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that pioneer species develop into a mature species. This means that in the succession of an ecosystem, the initial pioneer species, which are typically hardy and adaptable, gradually give way to more complex and mature species over time. These pioneer species create the conditions necessary for the establishment of a more diverse and stable ecosystem. As the ecosystem develops, the pioneer species are replaced by more specialized and mature species, leading to a succession of different species in the ecosystem.
