6th grade PASS Review Animals

What conclusion can you make from the classification chart below?
Greenland Shark Angel Shark Prickly Shark Sawshark Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Class Chondrichthyes Order Squaliformes Squatiniformes Pristiophoriformes Family Dalatiidae Squatinidae Echinorhinidae Pristiophoridae The Sawshark is the longest shark. All of the sharks are in the same family. The Angel Shark is not closely related to the other three sharks. The Greenland Shark and the Prickly Shark are most closely related. D- have students give evidence from the chart to justify their response. The Greenland and prickly sharks are in the same order

Which of the following best compares amphibians and reptiles?
Amphibians live on land and reptiles live in water. Amphibians lay eggs and reptiles have live births. Amphibians have smooth skin and reptiles have scaly skin. Amphibians breath with gills and reptiles breath with lungs. Teacher Note: In science standards the term “compare” indicates students should identify similarities and differences. The correct answer is C; Have students discuss reasoning to eliminate other answer choices. I.e., amphibians and reptiles can live on land or water; both lay eggs; amphibians breathe with gills when born, but develop lungs as they grow.
4
What does it mean to be an invertebrate?
To have a backbone To live in water To have no backbone To have wings C

Fill each missing part of the chart above with the information below.
Animal Group Movement Obtaining Resources Protection and Defense 1 Most are attached to a surface and cannot move 2 None Mollusks Swim using their feet or crawl along ground Filter food from water 3 4 Wiggle through soil or water Use mouth to get food from soil or water Hide in soil or sand Arthropods 5 Use jaws to tear and bite fruit and leaves; use appendages to capture prey Exoskeleton; poisonous bites or stingers Fill each missing part of the chart above with the information below. 1= sponges 2=filter food from water 3=have shells; ink 4=segmented worms 5= walk on jointed appendages or fly You can have students give examples of each animal group Most have shells; some use ink Sponges Filter food from water Segmented worms Walk on jointed appendages or fly
6
Which is an example of camouflage?
All water buffalo look alike. A Io moth has spots that look like the eyes of an owl. A male cardinal is bright red and the female cardinal is pale red. A leafy sea dragon has appendages that look like the plants in which it hides. D; have students tell what behavior is described by the other answer choices
7
Which of the following is an example of an internal stimulus?
Hunger Sunlight Shivering Particle in eye A; have students explain why the other answer choices can be eliminated. Sunlight is an external stimulus; shivering is a response; particle in eye is external stimulus
8
The chart below compares types of animal behaviors
The chart below compares types of animal behaviors. Which of the following titles best fits this chart? Answering doorbell Talking Avoiding fire Crying Drinking Building a nest Walking Hunting C; have students describe what charts for the other titles might look like Imprinting versus Conditioning Defense versus Protection Inherited versus Learned Internal versus External
9
Which of the following behaviors could be added to the center of the chart below? Justify your response with examples. Answering doorbell Talking Avoiding fire Crying Drinking Building a nest Walking Hunting Blinking Swimming Laying eggs Washing hands B-Swimming; can be instinctual for some animals, or learned for others
10
Every fall gray whales travel between 5,000 and 6,000 miles each year from the northern waters of the Bering Sea to the southern waters of Baja, California. They give birth to their calves in the winter and then head back north in the spring. This is an example of which of the animal responses to the environment? Hibernation Courtship Migration Defense C; have students give examples of the other behaviors
11
During the winter Wood Frogs burrow in logs or under rocks or piles of leaves. They actually stop breathing, their heart stops, and ice crystals form in their blood. When the weather begins to warm, they defrost, and their lungs and heart go back into action. Which of the following is the most likely stimulus of this animal response? Need for food Predator nearing Seasonal changes Increased sunlight C; have students tell what animal behavior this is an example of (hibernation). Discuss what key terms in the question stem helped students determine the answer (winter, weather begins to warm)
12
The Tropidoderus Childrenii is a species of stick insect native to Australia. Which animal defense does the Tropidoderus Childrenii most likely use? Smells Ejection Mimicry Camouflage D; have students describe examples of other answer choices.
13
The fork-tailed drongo is known for making sounds similar to the meerkat in an effort to make the meerkat run in fear. Once the meerkat have run away, the fork-tailed drongo steals their food. This is an example of which animal behavior? Mimicry Courtship Camouflage Hibernation A; have students describe examples of other behaviors
14
The chart below identifies how a dog responds to changes in the temperature. Which of the answer choices below best explains why a dog uses these responses? Dogs are endothermic animals. Dogs are ectothermic animals. Dogs are hibernating animals. Dogs are vertebrate animals. Response to cold temperatures Response to hot temperatures Shivering Panting Grow thick fur Sweating Eat more often shedding A; have students give examples for how exothermic animals might respond to temperature changes.
15
The chart below indicates the characteristics of an unknown organism
The chart below indicates the characteristics of an unknown organism. The unknown organism is most likely which of the following type of animal? Bird Fish Reptile Amphibian Unknown Organism Ectothermic Live in or near water Lay eggs Leathery skin Breathe with lungs C; have students explain why the other answer choices can be eliminated.
16
The chart below compares a fish and a bird
The chart below compares a fish and a bird. Which of the following characteristics could be placed in the center of the chart? Fish Breathes with gills Scales Fins Live in water Bird Breathes with lungs Feathers Wings Most can fly Vertebrate Multicellular Animal Endothermic Ectothermic Lay eggs Mollusks C; have students discuss why other answer choices can be eliminated.
17
The animal below is an invertebrate that lives in the ocean
The animal below is an invertebrate that lives in the ocean. They have an exoskeleton and take in oxygen from the water using tubed feet. This animal is an example of which class of invertebrate? Mollusks Arthropod Amphibian Echinoderm D; Have students discuss the key characteristics in the question stem that are important to selecting their answer.
18
Which of the following is an example of a difference between sponges and mollusks?
Sponges have an endoskeleton and Mollusks have an exoskeleton. Sponges use pores to obtain oxygen and Mollusks use gills or lungs. Sponges are vertebrates and Mollusks are invertebrates. Sponges are ectothermic and Mollusks are endothermic. B; have students provide evidence and reasoning for eliminating other answer choices. Endoskeleton is for vertebrate animals, mollusk and sponges are both invertebrate; they are both ectothermic
19
Both cuttlefish and squid eject black inky fluid
Both cuttlefish and squid eject black inky fluid. This is an example of which type of animal response? Obtain resources Movement Protection Breathing C;
20
Animals can use the following structures to obtain resources except
Claws Pincers Tentacles Wings; have students discuss why
21
Horns, claws, quills, and stingers are structures that some animals use for defense. Which statement below best explains how these structures aid in defense? They allow an animal to hide. They allow an animal to flee from predators. They allow an animal to change its shape or size. They allow an animal to make an attack painful. D; have students give examples of structures that might be used for the other answer choices.
22
Which group of animals are endothermic vertebrates?
Fish Reptiles Mammals Amphibians C; Mammals
23
Which statement below is the best comparison of invertebrate and vertebrate animals?
Invertebrates have an exoskeleton and vertebrate animals have an endoskeleton. Invertebrates have a backbone and vertebrates do not have a backbone. Invertebrates are endothermic while vertebrates are ectothermic. Invertebrates are unicellular and vertebrates are multicellular. A; have students provide evidence for eliminating the other answer choices.
