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. A colored chemical compound that absorbs light - producing color






2. This is a non-directional response to a stimulus or a change in activity rate in response to a change in the intensity of the stimulus






3. Having a daily cycle or occurring every day






4. Working together between species or in a species






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






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






7. Willing to submit without resistance to authority






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






9. Derived or originating externally






10. 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






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






12. Of or relating to or occurring in the night






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






14. 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.






15. When one organism has power over another






16. First in order of importance






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






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






19. Second in order of importance






20. Cessation from or slowing of activity during the winter






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






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






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






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






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






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






27. A cue using the earths magnetic field






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






29. Serves as a navigational cue. Many birds use star patterns and movement for navigation.






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






31. The process by which evolution selects for genes that cause individuals to provide benefits to their relatives






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






33. The environmental agent that resets the biological clock e.g: change in light - temperature






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






35. Orienting or directing homeward or to a destination






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






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






38. Cause responses that alter conditions in the internal environment






39. Behaviors that have been developed by experience rather than by having them from birth






40. Plant hormone that stimulates fruit ripening and leaf drop






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






42. Any area that an animal defends against other animals






43. 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






44. Foe - opponent - adversary






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






46. Yearly activity period - approximately 360 days






47. Derived or originating internally






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






49. Having more than one spouse at a time






50. Chemical messengers that are manufactured by the endocrine glands - travel through the bloodstream - and affect other tissues
