Diversity in Living Organisms Questions
-
grow a thinner coat
-
lose weight
-
eat extra food
-
breath faster
C

Animals that hibernate need to survive long periods without food. They eat extra food beforehand to store energy as body fat.
-
climate
-
mimicry
-
shelter
-
oxygen
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Breathing is the process by which animals take in oxygen. Oxygen is a basic need for cellular respiration in most animals.
-
oxygen
-
migration
-
mimicry
-
instinct

-
hibernation
-
instinct
-
climate
-
metamorphosis
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Hibernation is a state of deep sleep or dormancy that helps animals survive cold winters when food is scarce.
-
shelter
-
camouflage
-
mimicry
-
environment
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Camouflage is a physical adaptation that allows an animal to blend into its environment. This helps them hide from predators or prey.
-
instinct
-
migration
-
metamorphosis
-
adaptation
D
Correct answer
Explanation
An adaptation is any trait, physical or behavioral, that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.
-
camouflage
-
mimicry
-
oxygen
-
instinct
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Mimicry is an adaptation where one species evolves to resemble another species. This can protect the animal from predators who mistake it for something dangerous.
-
habitat
-
adaptation
-
hibernation
-
environment
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The environment is the sum of all natural surroundings, including living and non-living factors, that affect an animal.
-
migration
-
adaptation
-
camouflage
B
Correct answer
Explanation
An adaptation is a feature or behavior that increases an organism's chance of survival in its environment.
-
migration
-
hibernation
-
habitat
-
environment
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Migration is the regular, seasonal movement of animals between different regions, often for food or breeding.
-
learned behavior
-
behavioral adaptation
-
instinct
-
adaptation
C
Correct answer
Explanation
An instinct is an innate behavior that an animal is born with, rather than one it learns. It helps the animal meet its needs from birth.
-
basic needs
-
camouflage
-
adaptation
-
migration
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Camouflage is a physical trait, such as color or pattern, that helps an animal blend into its environment to avoid detection.
-
hibernation
-
camouflage
-
habitat
-
basic needs
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Basic needs are the fundamental requirements for any living organism to survive, including food, water, shelter, and air.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
A physical adaptation is a structural feature of an organism's body that helps it survive. A tail is a body part, making this a physical trait rather than a behavioral one.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
A behavioral adaptation is an action or activity that an organism performs to survive. Making sounds is an action, not a physical body part.
