Animal Adaptation

• There are two types of categories.
• Behavioral and Physical.
• Physical is like hooves on a deer for hard ground.
• Behavioral traits is it's instincts to help it survive. What it's born with. (Geese fly north)
• There are many adaptations that animals face. Like some fish are freshwater or saltwater.

PLANT ADAPTATIONS

• There are many different trees/forests.
• For example, there are Evergreen trees and a deciduous forest.
• To identify these, you would need a dichotomous key.
• In order to use this key, for instance evergreen trees have sap on them. So continue to 1b
• So you keep going down the list if that tree/plant/forest has any of those features, and stop if they don't.

SUCCESSION

• There are two types of succession.
• The first one is Primary Succession. Primary succession is when land is formed naturally. (Volcano)
• The second one is Secondary Succession. Secondary succession is when a series of changes in an ecosystem
• (Land slides, wild fires)

DECOMPOSITION AND THE NITROGEN CYCLE

• Decomposition is like the nitrogen cycle because, they both have steps in order to start over again.
• The importance of nitrogen in living things is that is produces protein for animals and people.
• Decomposition is when decomposers break down dead plants and animals into soil.
• Nitrogen can be cleaned by lightning and waste

Photosynthesis/Respiration

• photosynthesis is a cycle for plants that they make glucose (energy)
• Plants need sunlight, water and carbon dioxide during this process.
• Oxygen also plays a key role in both.
• The Mitochondria is where respiration starts.

EROSION

• Erosion is the process of breaking down rocks.
• It happens by weathering.
• The examples are wind and rain.
• Erosion is the process of soil and rock are removed from the earths surface
• One type of erosion is the Grand Canyon.

TROPISM

• Tropism is an orientation of an organism to an external stimulus.
• Like light, especially by growth rather than by movement.
• It's like a plant that grows upward towards the light/sunlight
• It is also the growth movement a loving organism has forward an external stimulus
