Biodiversity Review

 

Biodiversity Review Sheet

 

Classification of Living Things: The purpose of most classification system is to organize members into similar groups (Why do we classify things? How do we classify things? (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species)


“Kings Play Chess on Funny Green Squares” -  

Characteristics of Life:

  1. Cells- all living things have cells
  2. Metabolism- all living things eat, drink, breath, excrete
  3. Growth- all living things take material in to enlarge
  4. Reproduction- all living things are able to produce copies of themselves
  5. Irritability- all living things are able to react to change in their environment
  6. Adaption – all living things are able to compete with each other for food and space to survive
  7. Movement- all living things are able to move

 

Structural Adaptations: Is the way plants or animals look in their habitat. The plant/animal uses its structural adaption to survive. For example, speed, camouflage, teeth, eyes, fur, hair, paws claws, hoofs, legs, long necks, noses.

 

Behavioural Adaption: Is the way plants and animals act in their habitat. The plant or animal uses its behavioural adaption to survive. For example, protection of young, feeding young, building nest or den, finding a mate, hiding predators

 

Review characteristics of the animal kingdom (notes from kingdom presentation)

 

-Lis the five groups of the five kingdoms

 

-List the classification and the animal kingdom (vertebrates and invertebrates)

 

List and describe two benefits of biodiversity (will be covered this week)

 

List and describe two threats to biodiversity (will be covered this week)

 

List and describe three ways we can protect biodiversity (will be covered this week)
