What is commensalism?

a symbiosis where one species is helped and the other is neither helped nor harmed

a symbiosis where one species is helped and the other is harmed

a symbiosis between 2 or more organisms

An organism's niche is

Angel was trying to explain carrying capacity to her mother. Which of the following descriptions is accurate? Carrying capacity is :

the maximum number of individuals that an ecosystem can sustain.

the ability of an environment to accommodate a growing population.

the greatest number of individuals that an area can sustain over the long term.

the maximum number of species that can co-exist in an area.

How does the predator-prey relationship affect a population?

The relationship controls the population size of both species.

The predators and prey are in competition with each other.

Usually either the predator or the prey will become extinct.

The predator species usually has exponential growth.

The number of pythons found throughout Everglades National Park hasincreased in recent years. These huge snakes are not native to Florida and are believed to have been released into the wild by pet owners. Wildlife biologists have initiated attempts to capture and remove these pythons. Which statement best explains the biologists' reasons for removing these pythons from the Everglades?

The pythons could prey on native organisms and cause native population to decline.

The pythons could upset the territorial boundaries of native organisms.

The pythons could adapt to overcome diseases common to native snakes.

The pythons could begin to interbreed with native snakes and produce a more successful species.

A Factor that would increase the size of the population

Birth Rate Higher than Death Rate

Death Rate higher than Birth Rate

What is the most dramatic result of deforestation?

loss of habitat for approximately 70% of the worlds species

land is no longer green and full of life

pictures from space show deforestation

people can't explore rainforests

Which human activity is correctly paired with its likely future consequence?

use of fossil fuels — depletion of underground coal, oil, and natural gas supplies

overfishing in the Atlantic — increase in supply of flounder and salmon as food for people

development of electric cars or hybrid vehicles — increased rate of global warming

genetically engineering animals — less food available to feed the world’s population

What will most likely happen if the human population continues to grow at current rates?

There will be fewer natural resources available for future generations.

There will be an increase in nitrogen levels in the atmosphere.

There will be a decrease in water pollution.

There will be an increase in the number of strong hurricanes
