2 species of insects feeding on the same rare plant
2
The Florida Everglades
All of the above
is the largest freshwater Marsh in the US
provides habitat for migratory birds
Protects threatened and endangered wildlife
3
wetlands are most important to fisheries in the US because
wetlands provide the most desirable species of fish
many of the fish use wetlands for feeding and spawning
they are breeding grounds for insects eaten by fish
wetlands are the easiest place to catch fish
4
Which of the following statements about parasitism is true?
Parasites benefit while their hosts are harmed
parasites always kill their hosts
the presence of a parasite does not effect the host
parasitism is a cooperative relationship among 2 species
5
In which of the following pairs do both organisms belong to the same population
two residents of New York City
a rose and a carnation
two similar species of monkeys
a zebra and a horse
6

grasses
coniferous trees
deciduous trees
short shrubs
7
Tiny animals called coral polyps, that secrete limestone create
swamps
salt marshes
barrier islands
coral reefs
8
Which of the following statements does NOT describe the function of wetlands?
Filter Pollutants
Provide spawning grounds for fish and shellfish
Wetlands buffer shorelines against erosion
Make good hazardous waste dumpsites
9
A population will most likely deplete the resources of its environment if the population
grows beyond its carrying capacity
has low reproductive potential
must share resources with many other species
moves frequently fro one habitat to another
10
Spadefoot toads survive the dry conditions of the desert by
migrating to winter wonderlands
finding underground springs
drinking cactus juice
burying themselves in the ground
11
Migration of animals in the savanna is mostly a response to
predation
altitude
rainfall
temperature
12

international trade of ivory banned worldwide
cost of ivory worldwide has increased
captive breeding program for elephants was established
poaching of elephants have increased

live in deserts
are insects
live in richer countries of the world
14
The tundra is most suitable to a vertebrate that
can migrate hundreds of kilometers each summer
is ectothermic
has a green outer skin for camouflage
requires a nesting site in tall trees
15
Arctic ecosystems are considered marine ecosystems because
arctic ecosystems contain a large amount of frozen seawater
arctic ecosystems are inhabited by few organisms
sunlight is limited
phytoplankton form the basis of arctic food webs
16
A biome that has a large amount of rainfall, high temperatures and poor soil is
savanna
temperate woodland
tropical rainforest
temperate rain forest
17
Which of the following biomes contains large trees
temperate rain forest
chaparral
desert
savanna
18
Animal species of the tropical rainforest
have adaptations that minimize competition
are never camouflaged
compete more for resources than native species of other biom
have adaptations to cope with extreme temperature changes
19
A population of some species is most likely to grow exponentially
if the population size is already large
if the species is already very common in the area
when it uses the habitat of a similar species
when the species moves to a new area of suitable habitat
20
Bacteria can kill organisms in eutrophic lakes by
reducing oxygen dissolved in the water
None of these
feeding on decaying plants and animals
both the 1st and 2nd answer
21
Ants and Acacia trees have a mutualistic relationship because
they are part of the same ecosystem
they benefit each other
the ants eat parts of the tree
they are both adapted to humid climate
22
Which of the following statements about the Endangered species act is NOT true
recovery plan prepared for animals listed as endangered
Parts of endangered species may only be used if wasn't kill
government may not do projects threatening endangered things
species are classified as endangered if might become extinct
23
The term biodiversity refers to

some birds get lost during migration
begin laying eggs at younger ages than their mothers did
28
Some species are so important to the functioning of an ecosystem that they are called

the number of sea urchins in the kelp beds increased
the area became overrun by Kelp
the area became overrun with brown seaweed
the number of fish in the kelp beds increased
30
