All of the following statements concerning characteristics of predator-prey relationship are correct EXCEPT:

The population of predators most often eliminates the population of prey

Camouflage is an adaptation that protects prey.

A rise in the population of predators is followed by a decreased in the population of prey.

A rise in the population of prey is often followed by a rise in the population of predators.

Which of the following best explains why there are seldom more than five trophic levels in a food chain?

Energy is lost from each trophic level

Most carnivores function at more than one trophic level

Trophic levels about this numbers contain too many individuals

The ecosystem contains too much biomass

Refer to the diagram of the survivorship curve. Which curve best describes an organism that invests a lot of energy in parenting?

this is not a survivorship curve

Which of the following correctly describes the interactions between T. castaneum and the parasite.

The parasite decreases the population density of beetles in each culture dish.

The parasite increases the population density of beetles in each culture dish.

The parasite has no effect on the population density of the beetles.

What is the rate of change for the population grown without a parasite from day 200 to day 400?

a loss of approximately 30 beetles/200 days

a loss of approximately 15 beetles/200 days

How do matter and energy flow differently?

Energy flows in one direction, matter is recycled

Matter flows in one direction, Energy is recycled

Energy and Matter are both recycled

Energy and Matter both flow in one direction

A team of ecologists observed feeding patterns of several populations in the desert. The energy pyramid shown below depicts the feeding patterns the ecologists observed. Which of the following best explains the difference in the amount of available energy in the trophic levels of the desert ecosystem?

There is less available energy in the fourth trophic level because of the loss of energy through metabolism in each of the lower trophic levels.

There is less energy available in the producers because their tissues are less dense than those at higher trophic levels.

There is more energy available in the second trophic level because less energy is needed for hunting compared to the higher trophic levels.

There is more available energy in the birds of prey because they have greater muscle mass for storing energy than organisms in lower trophic levels have.

Species richness is measure of the number of different species living in an ecosystem. Which of the following would be indicated by species richness?

level of productivity exhibited within the ecosystem

In most ecosystems, net primary productivity is important because it represents the

Energy available for trophic levels above producers

Energy used in respiration by herbivores

Total solar energy converted to chemical energy by producers

What is the most important function of pioneer species?

To create soil and add nutrients

Facilitation of the water cycle

What effect will an invasive species have on the carrying capacity of an ecosystem?

The carrying capacity will only decrease for those in competition for same resource

The carrying capacity will increase

The carrying capacity for everyone will decrease

The carrying capacity for all animals will stay the same

Kudzu has overgrown many parts of southern Missouri and native ground plants have disappeared from the area. This is an example of:

Competition occurring between the native and invasive species

Parasitism between kudzu and the native plants

A predator prey relationship between ground plants and kudzu

Commesalism occurring between the kudzo and native plants

Based on the figure you can conclude that interspecific competition

restricts stellate barnacles to a smaller portion of the intertidal zone.

allows for both rock barnacles and stellate barnacles to inhabit the same area.

causes the stellate barnacles to grow more slowly than they would normally grow.

causes the rock barnacles to grow more slowly than they would normally grow.

causes the stellate barnacles to grow more quickly than they would normally grow.

Which of the following would be most likely to occur if a disease killed off all of the grasshoppers in an area?

A decrease in the number of snakes.

Which of the following statements best describes the concept of NPP (Net Primary Production)

energy captured minus energy lost

total amount of energy produced from photosynthesis

total amount of energy available within an ecosystem

Most of the organisms in the ocean exists in the shallow water over the continental shelves. Why is this true?

Producers, the beginning of all food chains, can only exist where there is sunlight.

Sea predators can easily catch their prey where the water is shallow.

Water over the continental shelves has more minerals than deep ocean water.

Ocean storms destroy organisms living in deep water.

Invasive species are:

organisms that can lack predators in the new environment
