What is the significance of knowing an organism's geographic range?

It is important for understanding its relationships with other species.

It helps in identifying the organism's diet.

It determines the organism's lifespan.

It predicts the organism's color variations.

all the organisms that live in a place, together with their nonliving environment

organisms that dont live together with their nonliving environment

What three kinds of variations among organisms did Darwin focus on during his voyage?

Species, geographical location, and adaptation.

Reproduction, growth rate, and migration.

Habitat, behavior, and lifespan.

Group of species that includes a single common ancestor and all descendants of that ancestor-living and extinct.

Study of evolutionary history of revolutionary lineages of organisms.

Links groups of organisms by showing current hypotheses about how evolutionary lines, or lineages, branched off from common ancestors.

Trait that arose in the most recent common ancestor of a lineage and was passed to its descendants.

What is the role of greenhouse gases?

They trap heat energy from the sun's rays

How has Earth's climate changed over the much longer history of life?

It has remained completely stable

It has only changed in the last few years

It has only changed due to human activity

What is the main issue with thinking about the modern world in terms of biomes?

Human activity has altered nearly 75% of all land

There are too many natural communities left

Biomes are increasing in number

Biomes are unaffected by human activity

Which is true, regarding human population growth?

Increasing global population presents many challenges

Increasing global population does not present any challenges

The global population is decreasing steadily

Our global population can continue to grow exponentially

What happens to the moose population when more wolves are present?

Moose population remains stable

Moose population becomes extinct

Why are food webs important?

They represent how energy flows through a complex network of food chains in an ecosystem

They represent the flow of energy through a single food chain in an ecosystem

They represent how matter is cycled within and between ecosystems, changing forms along the way

Without food webs, most spider species would have a difficult time catching their prey

How does the way that matter cycles through an ecosystem differ from the way that energy flows?

Matter cycles in a closed loop, while energy flows in one direction.

Energy cycles in a closed loop, while matter flows in one direction.

Both matter and energy cycle in closed loops.

Both matter and energy flow in one direction.

What do trophic pyramids help us understand about the energy available in ecosystems?

More energy is available at lower trophic levels

More energy is available at higher trophic levels

The same amount of energy is available at all trophic levels

There is only energy available at the lowest trophic level

What is the difference between natural selection and artificial selection?

natural selection works by "survival of the fittest" in nature; artificial selection relies on human preference

artificial selection works by "survival of the fittest" in nature; natural selection relies on human preference

natural selection and artificial selection are essentially the same thing

natural selection happens when humans aren't paying attention; artificial selection uses A.I.

What conditions must exist for natural selection to take place?

Struggle for existence; variation and adaptation; differential reproductive success

Geological change; local variance of species; biogeographical distribution

Homologous structures; vestigial structures; analogous structures

Extinction; biodiversity; artificial selection

What evidence provides strong support for the claim that humans are related to chickens? (Check all that apply)

humans and chickens share homologous structures

chickens and humans share similar patterns of embryological development

chickens and humans share similarities in their genetic code

chickens have vestigial structures that are different from humans

humans and chickens share analogous structures

What is meant by "survival of the fittest" in evolutionary terms?

Some organisms can survive and reproduce better than others in a given environment

Only the strongest or fastest organisms survive in a given environment

Only organisms with the best camouflage survive in a given environment

Survival means just staying alive in a given environment

Why are sedimentary rocks important in studying the history of life?

Because they can bury dead organisms quickly, preserving them as fossils before they are eaten or scattered by scavengers.

Because they are formed from volcanic eruptions.

Because they are the only type of rock that contains minerals.

Because they are the hardest type of rock.

Relative dating of fossils is different from absolute dating because:

Relative dating determines the order of events without giving exact ages, while absolute dating provides a specific age or date.

Relative dating is only used for living organisms, while absolute dating is used for rocks.

Relative dating uses radioactive isotopes, while absolute dating uses rock layers.

Relative dating is more accurate than absolute dating.

What is the main idea of the endosymbiotic theory?

Organelles in eukaryotic cells were formed when different types of cells joined in a kind of merger

Eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells through mutation

Eukaryotic cells formed from volcanic activity

Eukaryotic cells evolved from plants

How does consumption affect a population?

It can decrease birthrates and increase death rates

It can increase birthrates and decrease death rates

No change occurs in a population with regard to consumption

The population will increase exponentially

What are the primary processes that power living systems?

photosynthesis and chemosynthesis

gravitational energy and solar energy

Which of the following best describes an anthrome?

an insect with two or more antannae

a biome that is opposite in nature from another biome

a skin condition passed to offspring through ancestral DNA
