Biodiversity Review

Science Review- Test is scheduled for Monday, October 28th. A hard copy of review will be handed out on Monday. Have a great weekend!

Classification of Living Things: The purpose of most classification system is to organize members into similar groups - The seven levels of hierarchical system (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species)

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. This will be represented in multiple choice format, You do not need to memorize these )

Review five groups of the five kingdoms

Review the classification and the animal kingdom (vertebrates and invertebrates)

List and describe 2 benefits of biodiversity

List and describe 2 threats to biodiversity (will be covered next week)

List and describe 3 ways we can protect biodiversity
