Front

A rabbit population is near the carrying capacity of its ecosystem. If the population density of rabbits in an area were to increase, what direct effect would it most likely have?

Back

The rabbits would have greater competition for resources.

Front

An insect population feeds on a single species of plant. The carrying capacity of the insect population is dependent on food availability. Recently, a fire destroyed 80% of the plants that the insects feed upon. By what factor will the carrying capacity change?

Back

0.2

Front

A scientist wants to study primary succession. After which ecological event should she begin her research? A fire burns down half of a forest. A hurricane devastates a coral reef. A retreating glacier exposes bare rock.

Back

A retreating glacier exposes bare rock.

Front

Which of these best describes a climax community? Options: a growing forest with varied tree and shrub species after a wildfire, a balanced population of clownfish and sea anemones in a coral reef ecosystem, a booming population of plankton after farming that increased fertilizer runoff

Back

a balanced population of clownfish and sea anemones in a coral reef ecosystem

Front

A scientist is studying the factors that affect a population of mammals. Which scenario will it increase the population? Options: The birth rate and death rate in the population are roughly equal, A deadly disease is spreading among predators of the population., A natural disaster destroys resources the population needs for survival.

Back

A deadly disease is spreading among predators of the population.

Front

A scientist is studying the factors that affect a population of mammals. Which scenario will it decrease the population? Options: The birth rate and death rate in the population are roughly equal, A deadly disease is spreading among predators of the population., A natural disaster destroys resources the population needs for survival.

Back

A natural disaster destroys resources the population needs for survival.

Front

A scientist is studying the factors that affect a population of mammals. Which scenario will stabilize the population? Options: The birth rate and death rate in the population are roughly equal, A deadly disease is spreading among predators of the population., A natural disaster destroys resources the population needs for survival.

Back

The birth rate and death rate in the population are roughly equal

Front

Which experimental design will provide accurate, reliable data for evidence regarding the impact of the invasive European green crab in salt marshes and estuaries? Options: Count invasive crabs in quadrats at a single salt marsh and use the data to predict what is happening at all salt marshes. Count and record observations on the populations of invasive crabs and native organisms in quadrats at a variety of salt marshes and estuaries. Count and record observations on the populations of invasive crabs and native organisms at an entire salt marsh and use that to predict what is happening in all salt marshes.

Back

Count and record observations on the populations of invasive crabs and native organisms in quadrats at a variety of salt marshes and estuaries.

Front

Arrange the levels of organization of life systems on Earth from smallest to largest: An individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form; Organisms of the same species that live in the same area; The collection of populations living in a certain area; The regions of Earth populated by living organisms.

Back

An individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form

Front

Which statement best explains the role of energy in cellular respiration? Options: The cell destroys energy by breaking down large molecules. The cell creates stored chemical energy by capturing solar energy. The cell moves stored chemical energy to different chemical bonds.

Back

The cell moves stored chemical energy to different chemical bonds.
