Ecosystem Dynamics OSE Review (Lesson 1-10)

Front

What is the impact of oil palm cultivation on rat and pig populations in an ecosystem?

Back

Rat and pig populations increase in an oil palm ecosystem.

Front

How do tiger populations respond to the growth of oil palms?

Back

Tiger populations decrease because the orangutan population decreases.

Front

What term describes all living organisms in an ecosystem?

Back

Biotic factors.

Front

What is a potential solution for supporting both orangutans and farmers in the context of palm oil production?

Back

Design a better palm farm that will support living organisms in the rainforest and farmers too.

Back

True.

Front

What are biotic factors in an ecosystem?

Back

Biotic factors are all living things or organisms in an ecosystem.

Front

What is the relationship between orangutans and tigers in the context of ecosystem dynamics?

Back

The decrease in orangutan populations leads to a decrease in tiger populations.

Front

What are some consequences of land clearing for farming on ecosystems?

Back

Land clearing can lead to habitat loss, decreased biodiversity, and disruption of food chains.

Front

Define ecosystem dynamics.

Back

Ecosystem dynamics refers to the changes and interactions within an ecosystem, including the relationships between organisms and their environment.

Front

What role do humans play in ecosystem dynamics?

Back

Humans can significantly alter ecosystems through activities such as farming, deforestation, and urban development.
