Look at the graph in Figure 3-4. What does this graph tell us about this species of plant?

Too much sunlight can hurt them.

What type of species would be most likely found in the area labeled D in Figure 3-5?

decomposers that feed on dead organisms

one that requires plenty of oxygen

amphibians that need a warm habitat

Which of the following effects on the climate would you infer would result from an increase in altitude?

the same as a decrease in precipitation

the same as an increase in precipitation

the same as a decrease in latitude

the same as an increase in latitude

Personnel from the parks department have investigated the problem and present you with the following theories. Weigh the evidence and decide which is the best explanation for the problem. Imagine you are an ecologist called in to investigate a problem with a lake in a city park. The lake was once clear but is now eutrophic, with green slime floating on it and a fetid odor.

Fertilizer from park lawns has run off into the water, adding too many nutrients to the system.

An unusually warm spring resulted in a delayed overturn of the lake so nutrients in the water are limited.

Native carp in the lake are stirring up the bottom with their feeding activities, making the water cloudy.

Algae are overgrowing in the water because it is warmer than usual this year.

Which hypothesis about the kinds of marine life expected in an abyssal marine zone is most compelling?

Low species diversity is predicted, except around hydrothermal vents where bacteria, fish, and crabs live.

Autotrophic organisms like seaweed and plankton will be common, along with many larger organisms supported by these producers.

Coral reefs and high species diversity are expected, with many kinds of fish and invertebrates.

Large open-ocean fish will live there, like tuna, marlin, and sharks.

Some coral reefs off the east coast of South America are starting to die off. Satellite images reveal great plumes of sediment washing out of the mouths of rivers. What can you conclude, if anything, about the relationship between these two factors?

Deforestation on land allows erosion to wash away topsoil, which smothers reefs.

Although the two factors coincide, they are not likely to be related.

Deforestation on land results in lower oxygen levels in the atmosphere, which stresses the reef.

Burning of the rain forest increases atmospheric carbon dioxide to levels toxic to reefs.

Analyze each of the sequences in the primary succession of species colonizing a newly formed volcanic island and select the option in the correct order.

bare rock, lichens, small annual plants, perennial herbs and grasses, shade intolerant trees

bare rock, small annual plants, lichens, shade-intolerant trees, shade tolerant trees

bare rock, lichens, perennial herbs and grasses, small annual plants, shade intolerant trees

bare rock, lichens, small annual plants, perennial herbs and grasses, shade tolerant trees

What is the distinction between a zone of tolerance and limiting factors?

Limiting factors are biotic or abiotic factors that limit the growth of a species, while the range of tolerance defines the set of conditions in which an organism can survive.

The range of tolerance defines biotic or abiotic factors that limit the growth of a species, while limiting factors define the set of conditions in which an organism can survive.

Limiting factors and zones of tolerance are two terms for the same concepts about species survival under various environmental conditions.

Limiting factors are biotic features only, such as interactions with other life forms, that limit a species, while range of tolerance is based only on abiotic conditions.

Compare primary and secondary succession. What is the distinction between them?

Primary succession is the establishment of a community in an area with no soil, while secondary succession is the establishment of a new community in an existing ecosystem that was disturbed.

Primary succession is the sequence of species that become established early in a newly colonized area, and secondary succession is the sequence of species that move in later.

Primary succession is the establishment of a new community in an existing ecosystem that was disturbed, while secondary succession is the establishment of a community in an area with no soil.

Primary succession is the sequence of plants that colonize a new area, while secondary succession is the sequence of animals that move in later.

A place at 2° N latitude has an average annual temperature of -6° C. What can you conclude about the environment?

It is cold, so it must be in the northern polar region.

Nothing can be concluded except the information given.

It must be submerged at the bottom of a deep ocean to be equatorial and so cold.

Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. A student notices that her guppies reproduce most when her fish tank water is slightly alkaline. They stop reproducing if the water becomes acidic or if the water becomes too alkaline. This is an example of ____.

secondary succession

zones of tolerance

communities

intertidal zones

Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. Which of the following statements is supported by these data? Ling feeds her guppies one-half teaspoon of fish food every day. The average guppy population in her aquarium over a four-month period is 38 guppies. She increased the food to one teaspoon per day. After a four-month period, the average population is 53 guppies.

The size of the aquarium was a limiting factor.

Food was a limiting factor.

As long as Ling keeps adding more food, the guppy population will continue to grow.

Guppies reproduce rapidly.
