How are populations different from communities?

Populations consist of one species; communities consist of many species

Populations consist of animals only; communities can contain plants and fungi

Populations can contain plants and fungi; communities consist of animals only

Wind is considered to be an abiotic factor because it

is not related to biodiversity.

Food webs are models that show

networks of feeding relationships.

only primary consumers in an ecosystem.

Decomposers are important to ecosystems because they

return vital nutrients to the environment.

Predation is best described as

one organism capturing and eating another.

an interaction in which two species benefit from each other.

an interaction in which one species benefits and other is not affected.

Which of these is an example of parasitism?

A leech feeds on a host's blood.

the barn owl population will increase

the barn owl population will decrease

Corals live near the ocean surface in some warm regions of the world. The corals provide a home for algae. The algae, in turn, produce food that is used by the corals. Which is a biotic factor in this ecosystem?

the amount of sunlight that reaches the coral

Which process is a source of phosphorus in ecosystems?

How might the carbon cycle be directly affected if bacteria and fungi needed for decomposition of dead animals & plants were scarce?

the recycling of nutrients into the soil for fossil fuels would be in short supply

plant transpiration would be unable to take place

sunlight would be in short supply limiting photosynthetic activity

What would Earth be like without the greenhouse effect?

the same temperature as it is now

Human activity accidentally introduces an insect species into a new habitat. The introduced insects feed on trees and have no natural predators in their new habitat. What is the MOST LIKELY way this will impact the environment?

The introduced species will not thrive.

Predators will evolve to feed on the insects.

2) Tropic latitudes experience warm temperatures with less seasonal changes in climate.

3) There is a large amount of annual precipitation in tropic latitudes.

4) Regions near the equator have a longer growing season for plants.

1) There is less land in temperate and polar latitudes.

5) Temperate and polar latitudes have a large amount of water from snowmelt.
