- 5. A rhythm that repeats every day
- 8. When an animal behaviour can be performed without prior experience or without being taught
- 12. In this relationship, the organism benefits by obtaining resources like nutrients, shelter, or warmth from a host organism, while the host is actively harmed, though it is typically not killed immediately.
- 15. A biorhythm where an organism is active during the day
- 17. An environmental cue that resets the endogenous rhythm
- 19. When males and females of the same species physically appear different
- 21. A self-sacrificing behaviour towards other individuals
- 22. A relationship where one species kills and eats another species
- 26. A type of relationship which occurs within one species
- 28. the response of a plant to the relative lengths (ratio) of light and darkness
- 29. A mating system where one male mates with multiple females
- 31. A type of relationship where one organism benefits, and the other organism is harmed.
- 33. When one species resembles another species to avoid predation
- 34. A self-sacrificing behaviour towards relatives
- 35. An organisation of individuals in a group according to rank/dominance
- 37. The ________________ nucleus receives direct light environmental cues from the eye to help synchronise the body's rhythm to a 24hr day
- 39. A type of mimicry where a harmless organism copies a dangerous organism

- 2. A biorhythm where an organism is active at night
- 3. pigment in plants that detect light

- 24. A directional movement of an animal due to a stimuls
- 25. An interspecific relationship where both species benefit, resulting in an increased survival chance.
- 27. A biorhythm where an organism is active during dawn and dusk
- 30. _____________ behaviours are when animals working together towards a common goal for their mutual benefit or for the benefit of the group.
- 32. directional growth movements of plants due to a stimulus
