EXAM SET WITH QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT/VERIFIED ANSWERS
Mobility - correct answer-✅The ability to move freely through high snow
Moose (Physical Adaption) - correct answer-✅Legs up to 2 meters high to walk through snow

above the snow
Fisher (Physical Adaption) - correct answer-✅Northern Weasel with large hind feet
Northern Grouse (Physical Adaption) - correct answer-✅Has feathers on its feet increasing surface area
and acting as snowshoes
Ruffed Grouse (Physical Adaption) - correct answer-✅Grows snowshoes every autumn
Subnivean Space - correct answer-✅The area below the snow where animals can travel
White-Tailed Deer (Behavioural Adaption) - correct answer-✅Move to a sheltered area called a yard
with less snow
Yard - correct answer-✅Low lying area with minimal snow where white-tailed deer gather during winter
Browse Line - correct answer-✅The highest point in a tree where a Deer can reach and feed
Otter and Mink (Behavioural Adaption) - correct answer-✅Have very short legs so they toboggan on
their stomachs to travel across snow
Monarch Butterflies (Migration) - correct answer-✅Migrate to Mexico before winter and don't return
Green Darner (Migration) - correct answer-✅A dragonfly that migrates to the Cape Cod area over
winter
Arctic Tern (Migration) - correct answer-✅Champion migratory bird, travelling over 20,000 km round
trip in a year
Semipalmanated Sandpipers - correct answer-✅Double their body weights in just 10 days of feeding
before migration
Songbirds (Migration) - correct answer-✅Birds that migrate primarily at night
Advantages of Travelling at Night - correct answer-✅No overheating because of cooler temps, typically
less wind at night, safer from predator species because of low light
Eagles and Hawks (Migration) - correct answer-✅Use a "Thermal Hop" when migrating. Soar up using
updrafts and glide back down
Bounding Flight - correct answer-✅Using thermal hopping or going up and down during migration
Hummingbirds and Blackbirds - correct answer-✅Example of birds who travel during the daytime
How Birds Navigate during Migration - correct answer-✅Visual Cues (ocean, sun, mountains); Nocturnal
Cues (constellations, moon, sky)
Earth Magnetic Field - correct answer-✅Unknown mechanism that birds possess allowing them to
navigate thousands of miles without getting lost
Rhodopsin - correct answer-✅A photopigment in the retina likely involved in electromagnetic
interaction
Sandpipers (Migration) - correct answer-✅Example of a bird who migrates both day and night
Red Knot (Migration) - correct answer-✅Geotracker found they flew 5,100 km in 8 straight days of flying
Banding - correct answer-✅The attachment of a band on the leg of bird allowing us to track their
migration patterns
Geese (Migration) - correct answer-✅Fly in a "V" shape to conserve energy. Birds flying behind one
another use less energy to lift their wing
Winter Adaption in Plant Example - correct answer-✅Going dormant in the ground
, Becomming Cold Hardy - correct answer-✅Excess water withdrawn from the cells of the plant,
protective sugars added to cells increasing solute concentation, unsaturated fatty acids added to
increase flexibility, and antifreeze proteins suppress ice formation
Change in Photoperiod - correct answer-✅The first cue for a plant to begin becoming acclimated to
colder temperatures
Phytochromes - correct answer-✅Light sensitive photo pigments which cause cells to go dormant and
make plant sensitive to low temperatures
Skunk Cabbage (Physical Adaption) - correct answer-✅Turns up heat during winter to melt the snow
around it which keeps it safe from the cold
Desiccation - correct answer-✅The drying out of plants during warm sunny days in winter. Also caused
by extreme heat
Conifer Trees (Physical Adaption) - correct answer-✅Decrease leaf surface area to avoid trying out from
the sun in winter
Ferns (Behavioural Adaptions) - correct answer-✅Curl up for the winter helping them to reduce surface
area
Deciduous Trees (Behavioural Adaptions) - correct answer-✅Drop their leaves in autumn to avoid drying
up and avoid snow from settling on leaves
Red Maple (Behavioural Adaptions) - correct answer-✅Turns red in the fall which helps in absorbing
heat waves
Boreal Forest - correct answer-✅Dominated by spindly and spire shaped trees
Balsam Fir - correct answer-✅Has a spire shape allowing them to shed snow
Black Spruce - correct answer-✅Are spindly in shape, meaning they have short branches allowing them
to shed snow
Dragonflies ((Behavioural Adaptions) - correct answer-✅Reduce their surface area by becoming Obelisk
(backwards) and using their back as an umbrella
Obelisk - correct answer-✅A backwards position used by Dragonflies to avoid heat
Tiger Beetles (Behavioural Adaptions) - correct answer-✅Move bodies away from the heat by stilting
Stilting - correct answer-✅Raising their body off the sand with their legs to reduce heat
Honeybees (Behavioural Adaptions) - correct answer-✅Social insects that work together to air cool their
hive by using wings to fan colony
Panting - correct answer-✅A form of evaporative cooling by pumping air through body
Birds (Behavioural Adaptions) - correct answer-✅Pant because they cant sweat, allowing more air to
pass over respiratory surfaces, breathing with short, quick breaths
Guler Fluttering - correct answer-✅Chest vibrating done by birds to get more air moving and cool down
blood
Bees (Behavioural Adaptions) - correct answer-✅Use evaporative cooling during hot days
Vultures (Behavioural Adaptions) - correct answer-✅Excrete or pee on their own legs and the liquid
allows their blood to cool off
Morning Doves (Behavioural Adaptions) - correct answer-✅Are hypothermic so they raise their body
temperature in the summer
Hyperthermia - correct answer-✅The condition of having a body temperature greatly above normal
(over 45 degrees)
Hypothermia - correct answer-✅The condition of having a body temperature much lower than normal
allowing the animal to adapt to coldness
Detritivore - correct answer-✅An animal that eats dead plants
Maple Spindle Gall Mites (Nutrition) - correct answer-✅Are inside the plant feeding off of it from there
Earthworms and Millipedes (Nutrition) - correct answer-✅Example of detritivore eating pollen
Filter Feeding - correct answer-✅Animals that have food delivered
