To ensure they get enough light, water and nutrients 8 of 18 How do plants spread their seeds Use animals to spread seeds and fruit, or use wind or mini explosions 9 of 18 Why do plants spread their seeds as far as possible So they dont end up competing with eachother 10 of 18 How do female fig wasps pollunate They have specially shaped heads and oviposters to let them place eggs inside flower 11 of 18 How are the star nosed mole and venus fly trap adapted for survival Mole - sensitive to touch and smell- detects food underground, venus fly trap - brightly coloured, sticky nectar to trap prey 12 of 18 Name 3 non living environmental factors Temperature, rainfall, light, oxygen levels 13 of 18 Name 3 living environmental factors Arrival of new predator or disease, introduction of new plants - new food/habitats 14 of 18 What are lichens and what do they do Indicate levels of air pollution - sulfer dioxide, More lichens growing the cleaner the air 15 of 18 What are freshwater invertebrates and what do they do Indicate levels of water pollution. 16 of 18 5 pieces of equipment used to monitor non living changes Rain gauges, thermometers, data loggers, ph/oxygen sensors 17 of 18 Why do some birds fly further north to find nesting sites Climate change caused it to be warmer 18 of 18
