After an egg is fertilized it goes through the following stages of development:Zygote → Blastocyst → Embryo → Fetus


After the egg is fertilized (its called a zygote) the cell begins to divide and differentiate (turn into) a hollow ball of cells (called a blastocyst). Then, it further differentiates into an embryo

as it turns certain genes on to make certain structures (eyes, hands, heart, etc.). When it

has all parts found in an adult is called a fetus.

In estivation organisms escape very hot conditions by seeking shelter and going into

a state of rest. It is the opposite of hibernation.

•Hibernation is state of rest to escape the cold, until more favorable food conditions

exist in the spring.

TRUE OR FALSE?

Birds migrate south in the fall, going to more favorable conditions (plenty of food and warm temperatures). This is a learned behavior.

FALSE!!!!The Correct Answer is…

Birds migrate south in the fall, going to more favorable conditions where there is plenty of food and warm

temperatures. This is an innate behavior.

• Innate behaviors are there when an organism is born (crying, blinking, suckling, migrating, etc.)

•Learned behaviors must be taught, and occur in organisms with complex brains. (example - teaching a wolf cub to hunt,

practicing by play fighting, etc.

TRUE OR FALSE?

When a scientist named Pavlov fed his dogs he rang a bell each and every time. His dogs came to associate the sound of a bell with food. Anytime they heard a noise resembling a bell they started to salivate (drool). This kind of learning, where two unrelated things are associated with each other is called imprinting.


When a scientist named Pavlov fed his dogs he rang a bell each and every time. His dogs came to associate the sound of a bell with food. Anytime they heard a

noise resembling a bell they started to salivate (drool). This kind of learning, where two unrelated things are associated with each other is called conditioning.

Types of learned behaviors: • Conditioning – when an organism learns to associate 2 unrelated things (Food

and a ringing bell.) • Imprinting – learning to recognize someone or thing as “mother” (as in Conrad

Lorenz’ ducklings did). •Habituation – where an organism learns to ignore a harmless stimulus over time

(like crows and a scarecrow in a field)

TRUE OR FALSE?

As you move up a food chain or food web the amount of energy available at higher trophic (feeding) levels is reduced.


As you move up a food chain or food web the amount of energy available at higher

trophic (feeding) levels is reduced. As you move up each step only 10% of the

energy is transferred to the next level. 90% is lost through life processes (movement,

respiration, reproduction) as heat.

TRUE OR FALSE?

Global warming is the natural heating of the Earth, caused by the trapping of heat and water vapor in the atmosphere.


The Greenhouse Effect is the natural heating of the Earth, caused by the

trapping of heat and water vapor in the atmosphere.
