Rangkuman Science Mid Term 3
1. Species: group of organisms that have the same characteristic, they can breed together
and make young (fertile).
2. Concept of species: if the young/new individu is infertile, so the parents are different
species. Ex: horse and donkey, lion and tiger.
3. Vertebrates:
-fish: ovipar/lay eggs, moist scale skin
-birds: lay eggs, feathers, webbed feet (sometimes).
-reptile: lay eggs, scaly skin.
-amphibians: lay eggs, smooth skin without scales.
-mamals: lay eggs, covered by hair/fur.
4. Characteristic of vertebrates group:
-fish: they have fins, breathe using gills. (Ex: sardine)
-amphibians: the adults live on land and breathe using lungs, have four limbs. (Ex: frogs,
toads, newts, salamanders)
-reptiles: most of them have four legs, although snakes have lost their legs, livw on land
but some live in water. (Ex: crocodile, snake)
-birds: they have wings, feathers, and beak.
-mammals: the group that humans belong to, vertebrates with hair, ggave birth and fed on
milk from the mother.
5. Characteristics of invertebrates: using logically occurring examples to answer this
number.
6. Group of animal based on what they eat:
-herbivore: plants.
-carnivore: meat.
-omnivore: consumes a variety of material.
-decomposer: dead plant, dead insects, dead animals.
7-9. Types of rocks:
-igneous rocks: igneous rocks are formed from magma, when the magma cools
slowly rocks containing large crystals are formed, when he magma cools quickly
rocks with small cryslats or no crystals are formed. Ex: granite, basalt.
-sedimentary roks: are made from little grains of sediment that are stuck together,
sedimentary rocks are made up of layers, and sometimes contain fossils, sedimentary
rocks are also porous. Ex: limestone (formed from little fragments of shells from
animals such as corals).
-metamorphic rocks: are formed when heat and pressure change other rocks,
metamorphic rocks are usually harder than the rocks from which they were formed.
Ex: marble (marble is a metamorphic rock formed from limestone, it is hard with no
pores), quartzite (quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone).
10-12. Classify the rock using scratching method
3 ways to test the hardnessof rocks:
-scratch using nails.
-beaker and water (density).
-magnifying glass.
