NCEA Level 3: Animal Plant Responses

Subject : NCEA
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Movement of the whole organism towards or away from a stimulus coming from one direction






2. A polygamous mating system involving one female and many males






3. The period of daylight - specific for any given species - that triggers a long-day or a short-day response in organisms






4. A single receptor is used to calculate the direction of a stimulus






5. Having more than one spouse at a time






6. A plant hormone that brings about dormancy in buds - mantains dormancy in seeds - and brings about stomatal closing - among other effects.






7. Stimulates cell division and growth of lateral buds. Causes dormant seeds to sprout.






8. The periodic passage of groups of animals (especially birds or fishes) from one region to another for feeding or breeding






9. Yearly activity period - approximately 360 days






10. Substance produced in the tip of a seedling that stimulates cell elongation






11. Aggressive or defensive social behavior (fighting - fleeing - submitting) between individuals of the same species






12. A polygamous mating system involving one male and many females






13. A change in an organism's surroundings that causes the organism to react.






14. Period of dormancy - usually seasonal - which growth and development cease and metabolism is greatly reduced






15. Type of behavior in which an animal sends out stimuli—such as sounds - visual displays - or chemicals—in order to attract a member of the opposite sex






16. An innate mechanism in living organisms that controls the periodicity of many physiological functions






17. Of or relating to or occurring in the night






18. A special case of polymorphism based on the distinction between the secondary sex characteristics of males and females.






19. Cause responses that alter conditions in the internal environment






20. Reversible growth or turgor movement in response to a non directional stimulus






21. Having from birth; occurring naturally rather than being learned






22. When an animal is active around sunrise and sunset.






23. Orienting or directing homeward or to a destination






24. When the amount of random turning is related to the intensity of a stimulus (unorientated response)






25. A cue using the earths magnetic field






26. A biological clock that enables a migrating bird or insect to fly using the sun and continuously adjust its angle to the sun while flying.






27. Diagram showing the periods of activity and rest of an organism over a number of twenty four hour periods so that trends in activity can be identified






28. First in order of importance






29. Disposed to attack; militant; assertive; pushing






30. Foe - opponent - adversary






31. The lobes of the brain that receive signals from the receptors in the eyes






32. Of or relating to biological processes occurring at 24-hour intervals






33. This is the growth towards or away from a stimulus coming from one direction. If the movement is towards the stimulus it is positive - if it is away from the stimulus it is negative






34. Plant that generally requires short nights-- less that 10-12 hours of darkness to begin the flowering process.






35. Plant that generally requires long nights-- 12 or more hours of darkness to begin the flowering process.






36. Period of time during which a plant embryo is alive but not growing






37. Plant hormone that stimulates fruit ripening and leaf drop






38. Located in the brain; secretes hormone melatonin; in some species - it regulates the biological clock and biorhythms






39. A hormone that promotes seed and bud germination - stem elongation - and leaf growth; stimulate flowering and development of fruit; affect root growth and differentiation






40. Special structures that allow living organisms to sense the conditions of their internal or external environment






41. Prolonged relationship between male and female - associated with joint parental care






42. A group or system in which positions of power are ranked






43. The natural period of the rhythm if there are no external cues.






44. Mating behaviour in which a number of males and females mates with each other.






45. Having only one spouse at a time






46. To change the start times of a rhythm - but not its period






47. Second in order of importance






48. Derived or originating internally






49. The resemblance of an animal species to another species or to natural objects






50. A colored chemical compound that absorbs light - producing color
