- Q3An African savanna is a grassland with shrubs and a few small trees. It has warm temperatures all year long, a dry winter season, and a rainy summer season. Which group of animals is most likely supported by an African savanna?#texas/1fd1cf1c-4f4b-426e-b2cd-ea2867f806be/B.png#texas/1fd1cf1c-4f4b-426e-b2cd-ea2867f806be/C.png#texas/1fd1cf1c-4f4b-426e-b2cd-ea2867f806be/A.png#texas/1fd1cf1c-4f4b-426e-b2cd-ea2867f806be/D.png60s3.9.A: Organisms and Environment
- Q4Some species of rain forest frogs reproduce in the moist leaf litter on the forest floor. These frogs do not need a nearby body of water to complete their life cycle. Which stage of the typical frog life cycle is most likely missing from their life cycle?FrogletEggAdult frogTadpole60s3.10.C: Organisms and Environment
- Q5Some students are investigating the life cycle of the spotted salamander. They learn that these salamanders must live close to water and lay their eggs in water. After 20–60 days the eggs hatch as larvae that must stay in the water until they mature into adult salamanders. The students infer that the life cycle of the spotted salamander is similar to the life cycle of the frog because both animals —lay eggs in water, which hatch into larvae that live in waterproduce offspring that hatch from eggs and look like adultshave long tails and strong jumping legs as adultslive near water and produce larvae with wings60s3.10.C: Organisms and Environment
- Q6In parts of the East Texas Piney Woods ecosystem, there are forests with many tall pine trees. These thick forests have few other types of tall trees besides pine trees. The other plants growing in the ecosystem are usually small shrubs, grasses, and other short trees. A student wants to know what type of birds live in the Piney Woods region. The student reads the table shown below about four different birds. Based on the table, which bird is most likely to live in Texas’s Piney Woods region?Red-cockaded woodpeckerRoseate spoonbillGolden-cheeked warblerBurrowing owl60s3.9.A: Organisms and Environment
- Q7A student studying East Africa reads these facts about the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The student thinks that parts of Texas are probably similar to the Serengeti. Based on the following descriptions, which of these Texas animals would be least likely to live in the Serengeti’s grasslands?#texas/81d711b7-69cb-4295-8daa-2ccfbdbd0aa0/A.png#texas/81d711b7-69cb-4295-8daa-2ccfbdbd0aa0/C.png#texas/81d711b7-69cb-4295-8daa-2ccfbdbd0aa0/D.png#texas/81d711b7-69cb-4295-8daa-2ccfbdbd0aa0/B.png60s3.9.A: Organisms and Environment
- Q8One stage in the life cycle of an apple tree is the release of seeds. Which of these animal activities is most like the stage of the life cycle in which seeds are released?A tadpole growing into an adultA bird laying an eggA snake shedding its skinA swarm of bees leaving a hive60s3.10.C: Organisms and Environment
