Biology Scavenger Hunt Red Team! Brett, Taylor, James, Justin Primary Producer = 1pt A plant that gets energy directly from the sun. Anthophyta = 1pt Flower-bearing plant Coniferophyta = 1pt Needle-like leaves Plant Adaptation = 2pt Thorns along edges of Leaves for protection Photosynthesis = 1pt Plants that are green, showing evidence of the chlorophyll pigment used in the process of photosynthesis Dicot Flower = 1pt A flower found on the same stem as Dicot Leaves Monocot Leaf = 1pt Linear Venation (they go straight, not out) Dicot Leaf = 1pt (Foreground) Net Venation (out not straight) Autotroph = 1pt An organism that showed no sign of consuming other organisms, and it’s a plant, duh. Arthropod = 1pt Segmented Appendages, and segmented body Animal Adaptation = 2pt Frogs have developed large hind legs for far jumping. To reach higher/farther places for food and escape from predators Mating Behavior in Animals = 2pt Two mosquitoes joined together for reproduction Insect = 1pt Six legs, segmented body Pollution= 1pt Can harm animal Destruction of Habitat = 2 pt Destroying animal habitats! Oh no! Teritorial Behavior in Animals = 2pt The lizards were chasing each other and fighting Defense Mechanism of Plant= 2pts The aloe plant has developed thorns that can hurt a predator Defense Mechanism of Animal= 2pts The caterpillar’s red color and pointy needle-like things all around it’s body help to protect it from predators. A parasite and a host= 2pts The green plant is attached to the large tree, but isn’t a part of the tree. It’s taking nutrients away from the tree. Predator-prey relationship= 2 pts The man is holding the alligators food, the alligator (predator) eats the food (prey) A Multiple Fruit= 1 pt Strawberries are considered a multiple fruit because it consists of many tiny individual fruits all embedded in the fleshy receptacle. A Legume= 1 pt Peanuts are a common legume. A Pome= 1 pt Apples are among the most common of pome fruit. A natural plant mutation= 2 pts The grapefruit is actually a natural mutation of the shaddock or pummelo; it originated somewhere in the West Indies. A fruit= 1 pt Bananas are a type of fruit! A basidiomycote= 2 pts Mushrooms are part of basidimycota, they have spores . A Grain= 1 pt Rice is a grain, which is a small, hard, edible fruit that is harvested from grasses. A Carnivore= 1 pt The alligator strictly eats meat, and is strictly on a meat diet. A Vegetable= 1 pt A cucumber is a vegetable. A renewable resource= 1 pt Water is a renewable resource because it can’t get all used up before more is made. Animal home= 1 pt The alligator lives in the water behind it. An animal larva or pupa= 1 pt This is the larva stage of a butterfly. A Decomposer= 1 pt Flies are decomposers (other picture is zoomed out but has personal item). Animal tracks= 1 pt Looking closely, you can see the tracks made by the alligator. Commensalism= 2 pts The alligator is the only benefactor in this human-alligator relationship Biotic factor= 1 pt The grass in the sand near the lake is holding the sand together, because of it’s roots, maintaining the enviroment Primary Consumer= 1 pt The primates in the trees consume plants, the second level of energy consumption An invasive species= 1 pt The banyan tree was brought to Florida by human means, it does not naturally exist here. An organisms home= 1 pt The primates live in the house behind it. Abiotic Factor= 1 pt The poles in the background were placed there by human means and affect the territory of the Alligator. A mammal= 1 pt Fur, lungs, 4-chambered heart, milk, live birth…DOGS ARE MAMMALS! Herbivore= 1 pt Gerbils are herbivores, they do not eat meat. They eat a variety of fruits and veggies! An organism with bilateral symmetry= 1 pt The primate is symmetrical from head to toe, and brain is in front of body Natural protein= 2 pts The duck is an animal with muscle fibers, which require protein, meaning the duck is a natural source of protein. Food Chain= 2 pts Zebra>grass>sunlight Genetic variation within a population= 2 pts The difference in genes has caused one primate to have lighter fur than the other. An example of secondary succession= 2 pts The bare rocks and dirt are being covered with lichens and small grasses Angiosperm= 1 pt Flowering plant that isn’t conifers; have fruit, flowers Population= 2 pts A bunch of Madagascar “Palms” in the same geographical area Secondary xylem growth= 2 pts Advanced stem on the middle tree. Mutualism= 2 pts Both trees draw nutrients and share the nutrients amongst each other, otherwise one tree would have died. An organism with a type 1 survivorship curve= 2pts Most primates live through their younger years, and start to die later on in life. Fern= 1 pt Flowerless and seedless vascular plant that has true roots. An organism with a type 3 survivorship curve= 2 pts The faded fish. Fish lay thousands of eggs because they know that odds are, a lot of the children won’t survive. Any order of insects= 2 pts The grasshopper is in the order Orthoptera. A plant-like protist= 2 pts Algae is a type of plant-like protist.
