What factor might contribute to the extinction of this
species of woodpecker?

15. The drawings below show four animals.
What do all four animals have in common?
(1) They reproduce asexually.
(2) They are composed of cells.
(3) They have similar means of locomotion.
(4) They have the same internal structures.
The birds’ beaks show how the birds
(1) compete for the same food in their community
(2) require different amounts of food for survival
(3) store food for the winter months
(4) are adapted to get food from different sources
16. The diagram below shows four living organisms.
Which statement about the organisms shown is true?
(1) All single celled and have similar organs.
(2) All single celled and have identical organs.
(3) All multicellular and have similar organs.
(4) All multicellular and have identical organs.
*Base your answers to questions 17-18 on the
diagram below which shows the life cycle of the
common housefly.
17. Which process is shown by this diagram?
(1) competition
(3) metamorphosis
(2) metabolism
(4) migration
18. A life cycle is best described as the
(1) series of changes in the development of
an organism
(2) movement of an organism from place to
place
(3) ability of an organism to adapt to its
environment
(4) flow of energy through an organism’s
21. The diagram shows the life cycle of a liver fluke.
This diagram shows that the liver fluke
(1) depends on other organisms for survival
(3) completes its life cycle in the snail
(2) dies when it enters the fish
(4) survives at very high temperatures
22. The diagram shows an ecosystem in a fish tank.
One consumer in this tank is the
(1) water
(3) green plant
(2) fish
(4) rock
19. The table below shows the deer population in
Arizona for a 30-year period.
23. Animals may fight, make threatening sounds,
and act aggressively toward members of the same
species. These behaviors occur as the result of
(1) competition
(3) decomposition
(2) conservation
(4) pollution
24. During which process does a caterpillar become a
butterfly?
(1) fertilization
(2) metamorphosis
(3) asexual reproduction
(4) biological adaptation
What is the most likely reason that the deer
population decreased from 1920 to 1935?
(1) There was less air pollution.
(2) More water was available.
(3) Fewer hunting licenses were issued.
(4) There was increased competition for food.
20. Different species of carnivorous animals
that share the same habitat may
(1) become decomposers
(2) compete for food
(3) produce their own food
(4) eat other organisms
25. A cat jumps when startled by a loud noise. This is
an example of an organism
(1) sensing & responding to its external environment
(2) sensing & responding to its internal environment
(3) changing & controlling its external environment
(4) changing & controlling its internal environment
*Base your answers to questions 26-28 on the information and illustration below.
Manatees are mammals that live in the warm, clear water environment of Florida’s shallow rivers.
They are large, peaceful, gentle, curious creatures and slow-moving swimmers. They spend many hours
each day feeding on water plants. Manatees must surface to breathe every 15 minutes.
The manatee’s environment is changing because of hotels and homes being built along Florida’s rivers,
and the change is affecting them in a negative way. Noise and activity from people and boats scare them.
Manatees can be seriously injured by powerboat propellers because the manatees cannot tell the direction
from which the boats are coming. The water plants the manatees use for food are being destroyed. As a result
of these and other changes in their surroundings, manatees are on the endangered species list and may one
day be gone from Florida’s rivers.
26. List 2 environmental conditions that might lead to the disappearance of manatees from Florida’s rivers.
HOMES & HOTELS BEING BUILT.
NOISE, BOATS, PLANTS DESTROYED
