The gypsy moth is a species native to Europe that has been brought to the United States. It prefers to feed on oak trees in the U.S., and its caterpillars can consume all of the leaves off of trees. This leads to tree death after a few years of repeated defoliation. Why is the gypsy moth able to do so much damage to trees in the United States?

it is a non-native species and therefore has fewer predators

it is a parasite and therefore does not need its host to survive

the ecosystem found in the US are less stable than those in Europe

the gypsy moth is a uniquely dangerous species of insect around the world

An algal bloom is a sudden and dramatic increase in the population of certain microorganisms such as algae or cyanobacteria in a body of water. When there are high levels of nutrients in the water, microorganisms will reproduce rapidly until they have used all the available resources. At that point, the algae dies off in tremendous quantities, vastly reducing the amount of oxygen in the water as it dies and begins to decompose. What impact, if any, would an algal bloom be likely to have on its local ecosystem?

it would kill many other organisms in the ecosystem by removing oxygen and nutrients from the water

it would have no significant effect on the ecosystem by removing oxygen and nutrients from the water

it would have no effect on the ecosystem because ecosystems are self-balancing

it would help the ecosystem by providing extra algae for the primary consumers to eat

The temperature of water influences the amount of oxygen in the water. Which statement is true about this relationship?

the colder the water the more dissolved oxygen it can hold

the warmer the water the more dissolved oxygen it can hold

the temperature does not affect the amount of dissolved oxygen it can hold

water does not contain dissolved oxygen

Dead zones are caused by the following…

an increase in temperature and nitrogen

a decrease in temperature and increase in nitrogen

an increase in algae and improved agricultural practices

an area of land where all water under or on it drains into one place

How does weather and climate affect a watershed? Circle all that are correct.

there has been an increase in dead zones in watersheds

there has been an increase in evaporation which eventually leads to severe flooding

there has been a decrease in the number of droughts, so watersheds have dried up

Which of the following choices below BEST describe the natural greenhouse effect?

When the Earth's surface absorbs energy from the Sun, it radiates that energy back toward space. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, trap some of that energy, making the surface warm

When sunlight bounces off the Earth's surface, greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide reflect it back toward Earth, warming the surface.

The greenhouse effect is one hypothesis to explain recent measurements that the Earth's surface has been warming, but scientists aren't yet sure what causes it.

Since the Earth's atmosphere traps sunlight in much the same way that a greenhouse does, an increase in the amount of energy coming in from the Sun is warming the Earth's surface.

The process of cellular respiration

generates carbon dioxide and releases it into the atmosphere

results in the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

involves the storage of energy in the form of glucose

releases oxygen and water into the atmosphere

Kudzu was planted in the southeastern United States in the 1930s to reduce soil erosion. Since then, the fast-growing vine has covered plants and structures across the region. Two solutions have been suggested to control further kudzu growth.

solution 1 is limited to areas with human-made structures. solution 2 could lead to a new type of invasive species.

solution 1 is a helpful plan with no expected problems. solution 2 could lead to a new type of invasive species.

solution 1 could lead to a new type of invasive species. solution 2 is a helpful plan with no expected problems.

both are good solutions because there are no expected problems.

Forests cover about 60% of the land in Pennsylvania. These ecosystems protect drinking water, provide recreational opportunities, and are a source of lumber, which provides many jobs. Forest managers make decisions about when and how trees are cut, whether new trees are planted, and other actions that can have significant effects on the environment and on people’s lives. Another function of forest ecosystems is carbon storage. As trees grow, they remove carbon from the air and store it in their tissues. However, about 40% of the carbon stored in a forest is contained in the upper layers of soil, and about 23% is stored in the layer of plant litter that lies on top of the soil. The remaining 37% is stored in the trees themselves. This type of carbon storage, called sequestration, can offset some of the carbon released into the atmosphere by human activities. There are many factors that affect how much carbon a forest sequesters (stores). Large mature trees store large amounts of carbon and provide habitat for wildlife; young trees absorb more carbon as they grow. A product made from wood continues to store carbon until it is burned or begins to decompose, so the ways that harvested trees are used can also affect the carbon cycle. Through the choices they make, Pennsylvania’s forest managers affect not only carbon sequestration but also forest ecosystem health and the benefits that forests provide to residents and visitors. Wild pigs are invasive animals that consume a wide variety of plants and small animals. What is the most likely result of recent increases in wild pig populations living in forests?

decreased populations of native species due to consumption of their food sources

a decrease of carbon storage due to the increased health of the forests' trees

an increase of carbon storage due to increased health of the forests' trees

increased populations of native species due to consumption of their food sources

How does the size of a eukaryotic organism normally compare to the size of a prokaryotic organism?

eukaryotes are usually much larger than prokaryotes

eukaryotes and prokaryotes are both usually very small organisms

eukaryotes and prokaryotes are both usually very large organisms

eukaryotes are usually much smaller than prokaryotes

A sodium-potassium pump within a cell membrane requires energy to move sodium and potassium ions into or out of a cell. The movement of glucose into or out of a cell does not require energy. Which statement best describes the movement of these materials across a cell membrane?
