Hello and welcome to Tutoring Hour!
In this egg-citing quiz video,
we're going to flutter through the amazing life cycle of a butterfly!
Are you ready to spread your wings and soar through the four stages of a butterfly's life?
Let's dive in!
What is the first stage of a butterfly's life cycle called?
Is it:
a) Larva,
b) Pupa,
or c) Egg?
The correct answer
is an egg.
The first stage of a butterfly's life cycle is the egg stage,
where the female butterfly lays eggs.
Where does a butterfly lay its eggs?
Is it:
a) In water,
b) On a leaf,
or c) In a nest?
The correct answer
is on a leaf.
Female butterflies typically lay their eggs on the underside of leaves
to protect them from predators
and ensure that the hatching caterpillars have access to food.
Which of these is the larval stage of a butterfly?
Is it:
a) Caterpillar,
b) Tadpole,
or c) Fry?
The correct answer
is a caterpillar.
After hatching from eggs,
butterflies start their lives as caterpillars.
What is the caterpillar’s first meal?
Is it:
a) Leaf,
b) Eggshell,
or c) Fruit?
The correct answer
is eggshell.
A caterpillar’s first meal is usually the eggshell,
which provides it with important nutrients.
During which stage of the butterfly's life cycle
does it primarily consume food and grow rapidly?
Is it:
a) Egg,
b) Caterpillar,
or c) Adult?
The correct answer
is caterpillar.
The larva stage, also known as the caterpillar stage,
is when the butterfly primarily feeds and undergoes rapid growth
to prepare for the next stage.
What is the term for the shedding of the outer skin or exoskeleton
by a growing butterfly larva?
Is it:
a) Molting,
b) Shredding,
or c) Sloughing?
The correct answer
is molting.
Molting is the process by which a growing caterpillar
sheds its outer skin or exoskeleton to accommodate its increasing size.
What is the name of the protective shell formed by a caterpillar?
Is it:
a) Chrysalis,
b) Nest,
or c) Hive?
The correct answer
is Chrysalis.
Caterpillars attach themselves to a twig or leaf,
forming a protective shell by swirling rings of silk.
During this stage, they shed their skin for the last time,
and the outer surface of the pupa hardens,
often resembling its surroundings for camouflage.
What is the primary function of the pupa stage in a butterfly's life cycle?
Is it:
a) Eating,
b) Metamorphosis,
or c) Reproduction?
The correct answer
is metamorphosis.
During the pupa stage, the caterpillar undergoes a complete transformation,
restructuring its body internally and externally to become an adult butterfly.
Inside the pupa, organs and tissues develop, including wings, antennae, and reproductive organs.
What does the butterfly use to burst out of the chrysalis?
Is it:
a) antennae,
b) legs,
or c) wings?
The correct answer
is wings.
When the transformation is complete, the adult butterfly emerges from the pupa
by using its wings to push against the walls of the chrysalis.
What is the final stage of a butterfly's life cycle?
Is it:
a) Egg,
b) Caterpillar,
or c) Adult?
The correct answer
is adult.
The final stage of the butterfly life cycle is the adult stage,
where the transformed butterfly emerges from the pupa,
ready to mate and continue the life cycle.
What is the name of the tube-like structure that
a butterfly uses to drink nectar from flowers?
Is it:
a) Proboscis,
b) Antenna,
or c) Snout?
The correct answer
is proboscis.
Butterflies use their proboscis,
a long, flexible tube-like structure, to drink nectar from flowers.
The proboscis acts like a straw,
allowing butterflies to access the sugary liquid inside flowers.
What is the process in which butterflies transfer pollen
between flowers while feeding on nectar?
Is it:
a) Fertilization,
b) Pollination,
or c) Germination?
The correct answer
is pollination.
Butterflies contribute to this process by carrying pollen on their bodies
as they visit flowers for nectar, transferring pollen between flowers.
This aids in plant reproduction and is vital for ecosystem health and biodiversity.
