• Ecosystems are warming in the interiors of continents and cooling along coastlines.

• Ecosystems are warming in polar regions and staying about the same elsewhere.

• Ecosystems are warming in all locations on land and in water.

Michelle encloses a mouse in a sealed terrarium. The terrarium contains sufficient water for the mouse to drink and dried seeds for food. After several hours, the mouse dies. Which statement provides the most likely explanation for the death of the mouse?

• The mouse exhausted the supply of oxygen, which in nature is restored by photosynthesis.

• The mouse was poisoned by the high nitrogen content of the air, which in

  nature is reduced by nitrogen fixation.

• The mouse exhausted the supply of carbon dioxide, which in nature is restored by photosynthesis.

• The mouse was poisoned by the high carbon dioxide content of the water,

  which in nature is reduced by photosynthesis.

Zebra mussels were first discovered in the Great Lakes thirty years ago and have since spread to lakes throughout the region. Zebra mussels reproduce quickly and have few natural predators.

What will most likely happen to other native mussel species in the Great Lakes region?

• Native species will begin to interbreed with zebra mussels.

• Individuals of the native species will mutate to become more similar to zebra mussels.

• Native species populations will decrease in areas with large zebra mussel populations.

• Individuals of the native species will mutate to become less similar to zebra mussels.
