standing-water ecosystems
flowing water ecosystems
wetlands
estuaries
3
which biome is characterized by very low temperatures, little precipitation, and permafrost
tundra
desert
tropical dry forest
temperate forest
4
The tendency for warm air to rise and cool air to sink results in
climate zones
ocean upwelling
unequal heat distribution
global wind patterns
5
What is one difference between primary and secondary succession?
primary is slow and secondary is rapid
secondary starts with lichens, primary starts with trees
primary modifies the enviornment, secondary does not
secondary begins on soil, primary begins new exposed surface
6
Organisms within an ecosystem are ___ factors in that ecosystem
biotic
life forms
abiotic
phytoplankton
7
primary succession can begin after

farmland is abandonded
a lava flow
a severe storm
8
The loss of heat to space is slowed by
atmospheric gases
solar energy
the biosphere
radiation entering the atmosphere
9
Which is NOT an adaptation that organisms have for living in flowing water?
streamlined bodies
suckers
hooks
tentacles
10
Which of the following statements is NOT true about the oceanic zone
oceanic zone begins low tide mark, extends to end cont shelf
the open ocean has very low levels of nutrients
deep oceanic zone animals r exposed to cold temps n darkness
most photosynthetic activity in ocean occurs in open ocean
11
The series of predictable changes that occur in a community over time is called
climate change
ecological succession
population growth
climax community
12
The average year-after-year conditions of temperature and precipitation in a particular region
latitude
ecosystem
climate
weather
13
Earth has three main climate zones because of differences in latitude and
the amount of solar energy received
prevailing winds
ocean currents
angle of heating
14
Several species of warblers can live in the same spruce tree ONLY because they
can find different temperatures within the tree
eat different foods within the tree
have different habitats within the tree
occupy different niches within the tree
15
The climate zone that receives the most direct sun throughout the year is between
23.5o S and 66.5o S
0o N and 23.5o S
90o N and 23.5o N
23.5o N and 23.5o S
16
What two biomes have the least amount of precipitation
boreal forest and temperate woodland and shrubland
tropical rain forest and temperate grassland
tundra and desert
tropical savanna and tropical dry forest
17
These factors contribute to global climate patterns
trapping of heat by the atmosphere and latitude
the shape and elevation of landmasses
transport of of heat by winds and ocean currents
amount of precipitation
18
An important role of pioneer species in primary succession is..
to move in covered wagons from Kansas to the west
break rocks to form soil and add organic nutrients to soil
to pine an ear
to help bullfrogs find their niche
19
an interaction in which one organism captures and eats another is called
mutualism
symbiosis
predation
competition
20
Atmospheric gases that trap heat inside Earth's atmosphere area called _____ gases
greenhouse
atmospheric
heat gases
hot gases
21
Which is a biotic factor that affects the size of a population in a specific ecosystem?
type of soil in the ecosystem
concentration of oxygen in the ecosystem
number and kinds of predators in the ecosystem
average temperature of the ecosystem
22
Climate conditions in small area that differ from the climate of the surrounding area are
biomes
microclimates
natural features
ecosystems
23
What factor can influence continual change in an ecosystem?
all of these
further disturbances
long-term climate change
introduction of nonnative species
24
symbiosis in which both species benefit is called
parasitism
commensalism
predation
mutualism
25

0 degrees
23.5 degrees N
66.5 degrees N
90 degrees N
26
aquatic ecosystems are classified by all of the following except
organisms that live there
temperature of the water
chemistry of the water
depth and flow of the water
27
the unequal heating of Earth's surface
causes winds that transport heat throughout the biosphere
has important effects on Earth's climate regions
all of these
drives wind and ocean currents
28
An example of a place with a microclimate is
a forested park in a desert city
an orchard growing in a rain forest
a mountain range capped in ice
coniferous trees in a temperate woodland
29
Generally cool air over the poles ....
sinks
rises
absorbs heat from the equator
flow parallel to the earth's surface
30
Different species can share the same habitat, but competition among them is reduced if they
occupy different niches

is deep, cold, and permanently dark
extends to the bottom of the open ocean
is where chemosynthetic bacteria are producers
33
symbiotic relationship between flower and the insect that feeds on its nectar is an example of
mutualism- the flower provides food flower is pollinated
commensalism- flower isnt harmed but does not benefit
parasitism- the insect lives off the nectar
predation because the insect feeds on the flower
