Which describes an incorrect relationship in the levels of organization?

• Populations are made of interacting organisms from the same species.

• Communities are made of organisms belonging to the same species.

• Biomes are world-wide collections of similar ecosystems.

• All the living and life supporting factors across the world is considered a biosphere.

Which of the following does not describe the cell membrane?

• Lipid bilayer which passively allows molecules to cross into or out of the cell.

• A lipid bilayer which uses energy to push some molecules into or out of the cell.

• A lipid bilayer which provide a rigid structure to support cells.

• A lipid bilayer which sometimes changes shape to allow large molecules into or out of the cell.

Why does secondary succession happen more quickly than primary succession?

• The creation of soil is a fast process and new soil is created in secondary succession.

• Secondary Succession already has premade soil, which is often enriched by nutrients from forest fires.

• Secondary succession always happens in warmer climates and primary succession always happens in cooler climates.

• Secondary succession is helped along by the animals that want to inhabit that zone.

Which situation demonstrates primary succession?

• A forest fire burns down a section of forest. After several decades, the forest recovers and the ecosystem reaches peak biodiversity

• A volcano erupts under the ocean eventually forming an island. After around a thousand years, a new peak ecosystem has formed.

• A glacier slowly moves through the terrain, cutting the land down to bare rock. Over time, a peak ecosystem forms in the scar the glacier left behind.

• A tornado rips up a section of a forest, pulling up trees and removing them. The wildlife leave for a few decades, but returns when new trees have grown tall enough to shelter in.
