Unit 5 Part 2 Makeup Test

If Student 2 wanted to change his or her footprint to be more similar to that of Student 1, which of the following actions would he or she choose based on the data given in table 1?

• Using mass transit options when available

• Reducing the amount of meat in his or her diet

• Moving into a smaller home or an apartment complex

• Upgrading his or her electronic devices, such as laptops and cell phones, more often

After reviewing personal footprint data, Student 5 decides to take action to lower his or her overall footprint by reducing money spent on shoes and clothing. Land use in which of the following categories will be most affected by this change?

• Goods and services

• Carbon emissions

• Housing

• Food

Vegetarianism is often cited as a partial solution to the growing problem of deforestation and other types of habitat destruction as the human population continues to grow. The reason for this is

• vegetarians are healthier due to a lack of animal fat in their diets

• more people can be fed using less agricultural land because vegetarians eat at a lower trophic level

• vegetarians consume fewer calories per person and therefore require fewer acres of farmland

• vegetarian diets often recommend consuming large amounts of tree nuts as a source of protein, which preserves forest habitats

Which of the following best illustrates a mitigation approach to climate change?

• Increasing the proportion of commercial energy that is produced by wind farms

• Increasing the global land area that is devoted to agriculture

• Increasing the global sales of air conditioners

• Decreasing the price of gasoline for automobiles

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is likely to use all of the following techniques EXCEPT

• Crop rotation

• Planting herbicide-resistant crops

• Intercropping

• Increased use of traditional pesticides

After many years of applying the selective pesticide called Provironex, a farmer notices that the applications seem less effective. This is likely due to

• The fact that Provironex is fat-soluble and has been accumulating in plants

• Provironex is persistent, and the farmer should apply less for better results

• The target species has begun to evolve resistance

• Provironex is selective, so other pests are filling the niche from the exterminated ones

Purchasing fewer clothes could reduce your ecological footprint by

• Saving you money which would make you more financially secure

• Leading to less land being cleared to grow crops such as cotton

• Setting a good example for your friends so that you can show them how good a person you are

Compared with people in developing countries, people in industrialized countries are more likely to eat more

• Rice

• Beef

• Corn

• Beans

Which of the following is a direct economic advantage associated with aquaculture?

• Aquaculture breeds genetically modified fish to increase the amount of biodiversity in the population.

• Aquaculture reduces the number of fishing operations in an area.

• Aquaculture produces large amounts of seafood for human purchase and consumption year-round.

• Aquaculture requires large bodies of water for its operations.

Based on the data provided, which of the following descriptions best identifies the types of farms that are being compared?

• Farm A is a free-pasture farm for cattle, whereas Farm B is a free-range farm for poultry.

• Farm A is a concentrated animal feedlot for beef production, whereas Farm B is a cage-free farm for poultry.

• Farm A is a grass-fed pasture for beef production, whereas Farm B is a traditional concentrated animal feedlot for cattle.

• Farm A is a cage-free farm for poultry, whereas Farm B is an industrial poultry farm.
