Homework
How does the Earth keep itself warm?
Sunlight keeps the Earth warm.
There are heat lamps orbitting above the Earth's atmosphere.
The greenhouse gases trap the warm air and send it back to the Earth's surface.
The graph shows us that
the earth temperature is always increasing
the earth's temperature has steadily increased since 1900
the earth's temperature has steadily rising since the 1960s
the earth's temperature decreased during the 19th and 20th centuries
"Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere."
The text describes the effect of greenhouse gases on the Earth. What effect do these gases have on the Earth?
These gases cool the surface of the Earth and help it stay at a comfortable temperature
These gases clean the surface of the Earth and lower the amount of pollution on the ground
These gases freeze the surface of the Earth and help create icebergs in different parts of the ocean
These gases warm the surface of the Earth and help it stay at a comfortable, warm average temperature

in 1995 Wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Which answer below most accurately describes a possible trophic cascade the could result from the reintroduction of wolves?
wolves reintroduced-> deer population increased -> tree and vegetation cover decreased
wolves reintroduced-> beaver population decreased -> tree and vegetation cover increased
wolves reintroduced-> deer population decreased -> tree and vegetation cover increased -> beaver population increased
wolves reintroduced-> deer population decreased -> beaver population decreased -> songbird population increased
What makes a species invasive?
Moving to a new ecosystem and taking resources from natives
Not having papers
Species that can't adapt
Plants that take up too much space
Why do the populations of invasive species grow so quickly?
Invasive Species are native to an area.
Invasive species are prey to many animals.
Invasive species have fewer limiting factors in their new environment
Invasive species keep the ecosystems in equilibrium.
Why was the songbird population reduced by the presence of too many elk in Yellowstone?
Elk ate young trees, so birds had fewer places to nest.
Elk ate too many songbirds.
Wolves at songbirds when no elk were available.
Explain why the population of elk built up.
There were just a lot of them and so they reproduced quickly.
There was lots of food for the elk in the park so they reproduced well.
There was no natural predator to hunt them so they became over populated.
No one is actually sure why this happened.
What happened to the vegetation because of the elk population?
The elk ate it all, They reduced the vegetation to almost nothing, or they devoured it, leaving it bare.
Nothing at all. the vegetation just grew as normal.
A drought actually caused the vegetation to die and the elk trampled what was left.
The elk ate some of it but lots of the vegetation remained.
This is buffelgrass. Why is it considered invasive to the Sonoran Desert ecosystem?
It outcompetes native plants for space and nutrients
It causes harm to the ecosystem
Its very flammable and is fuel for wildfires
All are reasons why buffelgrass is invasive
Why is buffelgrass so successful in the Sonoran Desert?
They produce a lot of seeds that can be carried by wind
They are adapted to fire (re-grow quickly after being burned)
Outcompete native plants for space and nutrients
All are reasons
Why are American bullfrogs considered invasive species in the Sonoran Desert?
They are non-native
They disrupt the local ecosystem with no natural predators
They carry pathogens (fungus sickness) that native frogs are not immune to
All are reasons
Why are American bullfrogs so successful in the Sonoran Desert
No natural predators (nothing really eats them)
They reproduce more than native frogs (up to 20,000 eggs compared to 2-3000 eggs)
They prey on almost anything they can fit in their mouths
All are reasons
Saguaro cacti are a keystone species in the Sonoran Desert. What would happen to the ecosystem if the saguaro cacti are removed?
The whole ecosystem will be disrupted
People will just plant more saguaros
Nothing will happen

None of the above
