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