1
Aquatic ecosystems are classified by all of the following EXCEPT:
temperature of the water
organisms that live there
depth and flow of the water
chemistry of the water
2
Climate conditions in a small area that differ from the climate of the surrounding area are
ecosystems
microclimates
natural features
biomes
3
The loss of heat to space is slowed by
the biosphere
atmospheric gases
solar energy
radiation entering the atmosphere
4
Unlike weather this is description of year-to-year conditions of temperature and precipitation.
annual rainfall
seasonal
climate
biosphere
5
An example of a place with a microclimate is
coniferous trees in a temperate forest
a mountain range capped with ice
a forest park in a dessert city
an orchid growing in a rainforest
6
Earth has three main climate zones because of the differences in latitude and
ocean currents
angle of heating
amount of solar energy recieved
prevailing winds
7
Which factor can influence continual change in an ecosystem?
introduction of nonnative species
all of the above
further disturbances
long term climate changes
8
This type of incoming energy drives Earth's weather and helps to determine climate.
coal
electricity
sunlight
hydropower
9
An organism's niche is
all the physical factors in organism's environment
the way it uses range of physical & biological conditions
range of temperatures that the organism needs to survive.
a full description of the place an organism lives.
10
What is one difference between primary and secondary succession?
Primary begins on new exposed surfaces, Secondary on soil
Secondary begins with lichens, primary with trees.
Primary modifies environment, secondary doesn't.
Primary is slow, Secondary is rapid
11
The chemistry of aquatic ecosystems is determined by the
amount of rainfall the water recieves
Amounts of salt, nutrients, & oxygen dissolved in the water
biotic and abiotic factors in the water
number of other organisms present in the water
12
Climate is a global factor that produces
Earth's unique ocean and atmosphere.
a wide range of environmental conditions shaping communities
solar energy within the atmosphere.
the shape and elevation of landmasses
13
Each of the following is an abiotic factor in the environment EXCEPT:
temperature
plant life
rainfall
soil type
14
Which is a biotic factor that affects the size of a population in a specific ecosystem?
type of the soil in the ecosystem
number and kinds of predators in the ecosystem
average temperature of the ecosystem
concentration of oxygen in the ecosystem
15
Cool air over the poles will
flow parallel to Earth's surface
rise
absorb heat from the equator
sink
16
Different species can share the same habitat, but competition among themis reduced if they:
increase their populations.
occupy different niches.
reproduce at different times.
eat less.
17
Several species of warblers can live in the same spruce tree ONLY because they:
eat different foods within the tree.
can find different temperatures within the tree
have different habitats within the tree.
occupy different niches within the tree.
18
What kinds of atmospheric gases trap heat inside Earth's atmosphere?
biotic
gasteronic
simbiotic
greenhouse
19
Primary succession can begin after
a lava flow
a forest fire
farmland is abandoned
a sever storm
20
What single celled algae grows in lakes and ponds?
mold
photoplankton
photosynthesis
partical remnets
21
A swamp is different from a lake as a freshwater ecosystem because a swamp is a
wetland ecosystem
rainforest ecosystem
desert ecosystems
tundra ecosystems
22
Which biome is characterized by low temperatures, little precipitation, and permafrost?
tundra
temperate forest
desert
tropical dry forest
23
The photic zone
extends to the bottom of the open ocean
extends to a depth of about 200 meters
is where chemosynthetic bacteria are the producers.
is deep, cold, and permanently dark.
24
The tendency to warm air to rise and cool air to sink results in
global wind patterns
ocean upwelling
unequal heat distribution
climate zones
25
An interaction in which one organism captures and feeds on another organism is called
competition
symbiosis
predation
mutualism
26
Temperatures on Earth remain within a suitable range for life because of the
loss of heat to space
greenhouse effect
unequal heating of the Earth's surface
radiation of sunlight back into the atmosphere
27
The average year-after-year temperature & precipitation in a particular region is the region's
latitude
weather
climate
ecosystem
28
The following statement is NOT true about the oceanic zone:
organisms in deep ocean are in frigid temps / total darkness
begins at low tide mark extends to end of continental shelf
The open ocean has very low levels of nutrients.
Most photosynthetic activity occurs in the open ocean
29
Which is NOT an adaptation that organisms have for living in flowing water?
streamlined bodies
tentacles
hooks
suckers
30
The series of predictable changes that occur in a community over time is called
climate change
population growth
ecological succession
climax community
31
Which two biomes have the least amount of precipitation?
tundra and desert
tropical rainforest and temperate grassland
tropical savanna and tropical dry forest
boreal forest and temperate woodland and shrubland
32
The unequal heating of Earth's surface
drives wind and ocean currents.
all of the above
causes winds that transport heat through the biosphere.
has important effects on Earth's climate regions.
33
Ponds and lakes are
standing water ecosystems
wetlands
estuaries
flowing water ecosystems
34
Symbiosis in which both species benefit is called
commensalism
predation
parasite
mutualism
35
The symbiotic relationship between a flower and the insect that feeds on its nectar is
commensalism, no harm or benefit to flower
predation because the insect feeds on the flower
mutualism: flower is food for insect, it pollinates flower
parasite because insect lives off nectar
