    Endotherms that produce milk and have hair

    • Fish

    • Amphibians

    • Reptiles

    • Birds

    • Mammals

    Correct Answer
    A. Mammals
    Explanation
    Mammals are the only group of animals that are endothermic, meaning they can regulate their body temperature internally. They also produce milk to nourish their young and have hair or fur covering their bodies. Fish, amphibians, reptiles, and birds are all ectothermic, meaning their body temperature is determined by their environment, and they do not produce milk or have hair. Therefore, the correct answer is mammals.

    The ability to regrow lost body parts

    • Herbivore

    • Regeneration

    • Sessile

    • Hermaphrodite

    • Metamorphosis

    Correct Answer
    A. Regeneration
    Explanation
    Regeneration refers to the ability of an organism to regrow or replace lost or damaged body parts. This process is seen in certain animals, such as starfish and salamanders, who can regenerate limbs or organs. It is not related to being an herbivore, which refers to an organism that primarily consumes plants, or being sessile, which means being fixed in one place. Similarly, being a hermaphrodite refers to having both male and female reproductive organs, and metamorphosis refers to the process of transformation from one form to another. Therefore, regeneration is the most relevant term in relation to the ability to regrow lost body parts.

    Endotherms with feathers and bones that are hollow

    • Fish

    • Amphibians

    • Reptiles

    • Birds

    • Mammals

    Correct Answer
    A. Birds
    Explanation
    Birds are the correct answer because they are endotherms, meaning they can regulate their body temperature internally. They have feathers which help with insulation and flight, and their bones are hollow which makes them lightweight for flying. Fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals do not possess these specific characteristics, making birds the only suitable option.

    An animal that kills and then only eats other animals is a

    • Herbivore

    • Carnivore

    • Omnivore

    • Parasite

    Correct Answer
    A. Carnivore
    Explanation
    A carnivore is an animal that kills and eats other animals. Unlike herbivores that primarily consume plants or omnivores that eat both plants and animals, carnivores rely solely on animal flesh for their diet. They have adaptations such as sharp teeth and claws to capture and kill their prey. Therefore, the correct answer is carnivore.

    Ectotherms that use gills to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide

    • Fish

    • Amphibians

    • Reptiles

    • Birds

    • Mammals

    Correct Answer
    A. Fish
    Explanation
    Fish are ectotherms that use gills to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Unlike mammals and birds, which are endotherms and regulate their body temperature internally, fish rely on their environment to maintain their body temperature. They have specialized gills that allow them to extract oxygen from water and release carbon dioxide. This adaptation enables fish to live and breathe underwater efficiently. Amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals have different respiratory systems and do not exclusively rely on gills for gas exchange.

    Animals with no backbone

    • Vertebrate

    • Invertebrate

    • Exoskeleton

    • Endoskeleton

    Correct Answer
    A. Invertebrate
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Invertebrate" because animals with no backbone are classified as invertebrates. Invertebrates make up the majority of animal species and include organisms such as insects, worms, and jellyfish. They lack a vertebral column, which is the defining characteristic of vertebrates. Invertebrates have a wide range of body structures and adaptations, but they all share the common feature of not having a backbone.

    Organism that remains attached to one place

    • Herbivore

    • Regeneration

    • Sessile

    • Hermaphrodite

    • Metamorphosis

    Correct Answer
    A. Sessile
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "sessile". Sessile organisms are those that remain attached to one place throughout their lives. They do not move or have the ability to move from one location to another. This is in contrast to other organisms that are capable of locomotion. Sessile organisms can be found in various habitats such as the ocean floor, rocks, or plants. They rely on external sources for food and reproduction, and their lack of mobility is compensated by adaptations that allow them to thrive in their stationary lifestyle.

    Animals with a backbone

    • Vertebrate

    • Invertebrate

    • Exoskeleton

    • Endoskeleton

    Correct Answer
    A. Vertebrate
    Explanation
    Vertebrate is the correct answer because animals with a backbone are classified as vertebrates. This means that they have an internal skeleton made up of bones or cartilage, which provides support and protection for their bodies. Examples of vertebrates include mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. In contrast, invertebrates do not have a backbone and instead have an exoskeleton (external skeleton) or no skeleton at all.

    Bristle-like structures that help an earthworm move

    • Crop

    • Gizzard

    • Setae

    • Intestine

    Correct Answer
    A. Setae
    Explanation
    Setae are bristle-like structures that help an earthworm move. They are located on the ventral surface of the earthworm and are used for locomotion. The setae anchor the earthworm to the ground and provide traction as it moves. When the earthworm contracts its longitudinal muscles, the setae grip the soil, and when it relaxes the muscles, the setae are pulled back, allowing the earthworm to move forward. Therefore, setae are essential for the earthworm's movement and play a crucial role in its locomotion.

    A series of changes in body form that some animals undergo to become adults

    • Herbivore

    • Regeneration

    • Sessile

    • Hermaphrodite

    • Metamorphosis

    Correct Answer
    A. Metamorphosis
    Explanation
    Metamorphosis refers to a series of changes in body form that some animals undergo to become adults. This process involves a complete transformation in physical appearance and structure, often including changes in organs, body parts, and even habitat. It is a common phenomenon observed in many insects, such as butterflies and beetles, as well as some amphibians like frogs and salamanders. During metamorphosis, animals typically go through distinct stages, such as larvae or nymphs, before reaching their adult form. This process allows for the development and specialization of different body structures and functions necessary for survival and reproduction.

    Animal that produces both sperm and egg

    • Herbivore

    • Regeneration

    • Sessile

    • Hermaphrodite

    • Metamorphosis

    Correct Answer
    A. Hermaphrodite
    Explanation
    A hermaphrodite is an animal that has both male and female reproductive organs, allowing it to produce both sperm and eggs. This means that hermaphrodites have the ability to self-fertilize and reproduce without the need for a separate mate. This adaptation is commonly found in many invertebrates, such as snails and earthworms, as well as some fish and amphibians. Being a hermaphrodite allows these animals to increase their chances of successful reproduction and ensures that they can reproduce even if a mate is not readily available.

    • Fish

    • Amphibians

    • Reptiles

    • Birds

    • Mammals

    Correct Answer
    A. Reptiles
    Explanation
    Reptiles are ectotherms, meaning they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature. They have dry scaly skin, which helps to prevent water loss. Reptiles also lay shelled eggs, which are typically laid on land. This combination of characteristics is unique to reptiles and distinguishes them from fish, amphibians, birds, and mammals.

    Thick, hard outer covering that protects and supports arthropods

    • Vertebrate

    • Invertebrate

    • Exoskeleton

    • Endoskeleton

    Correct Answer
    A. Exoskeleton
    Explanation
    An exoskeleton is a thick, hard outer covering that protects and supports arthropods. Unlike vertebrates, which have an internal skeleton called an endoskeleton, arthropods have their skeleton on the outside. This exoskeleton provides a strong and rigid structure that allows arthropods to move and function effectively. It also serves as a protective barrier against predators and the environment.

    Correct Answer
    A. Amphibian
    Explanation
    Amphibians are the class that means "double life" because they are adapted to living on land and in water. They have the ability to breathe through their skin and have both lungs and gills, allowing them to live in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. Examples of amphibians include frogs, toads, and salamanders.

    Earthworms grind soil in the...

    • Crop

    • Setae

    • Gizzard

    • Intestine

    Correct Answer
    A. Gizzard
    Explanation
    Earthworms have a specialized organ called a gizzard, which is responsible for grinding the soil and breaking it down into smaller particles. The gizzard contains small stones or grit that help in the mechanical breakdown of the soil. This grinding process is important for the earthworms as it helps them extract nutrients from the soil and aids in the decomposition of organic matter. The gizzard acts as a powerful digestive organ in earthworms, allowing them to process the soil efficiently.

    What type of reproduction is the hydra using? - ProProfs

    What type of reproduction is the hydra using?

    • Budding

    • Regeneration

    • Hermaphrodite

    • Sexual

    Correct Answer
    A. Budding
    Explanation
    The hydra is using budding as a type of reproduction. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction where a new individual grows out of the parent organism. In this process, a small bud forms on the parent organism and eventually develops into a genetically identical offspring. This method allows the hydra to produce multiple offspring without the need for a mate.

    Eats plants and animals

    • Herbivore

    • Carnivore

    • Omnivore

    • Detritivore

    Correct Answer
    A. Omnivore
    Explanation
    An omnivore is an organism that consumes both plants and animals as part of its diet. This means that it has the ability to obtain nutrients from a wide range of sources, including fruits, vegetables, meat, and insects. Unlike herbivores, which only eat plants, and carnivores, which only eat meat, omnivores have a more varied diet. They have adaptations that allow them to digest and utilize both plant and animal matter efficiently. Some examples of omnivores include humans, bears, and raccoons.
