Using sustainable principles to grow crops
Using lots of money, machinery, fuel, and chemicals
4
Golden Rice is a GMO developed to prevent ___ deficiency.
protein
Iodine
Iron
Vitamin A
5
What is the pesticide treadmill?
Pests evolve resistance to pesticides, making them useless
Using natural chemicals to kill pests
Humans continue to make better and better pesticides
Pesticides are increasingly more expensive
6
Which is the best example of persistence?
Use of GMOs to create pest-resistant crops
DDT: it remained harmful in the environment for years.
Essential oils taken from plants such as clove & mint
Natural chemical found in plants, such as nicotine sulfate
7
Growing crops in areas of high evaporation with irrigated water can, over time, cause
water logging
overfilling
salinization
drip-irrigation
8
A lack of sufficient protein; causes swollen abdomen due to fluid accumulation
anemia
Minamata disease

marasmus
9
Which of the following is NOT a principle of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)?
Planting herbs to deter insects
Introducing new predators to the environment
Using pheromones
Using natural predators
10
Which of the following is by far the leading cause of water pollution?
agricultural activities
mining
factories
sewage treatment
11
This is a biological pesticide
Round-Up
Bt
CFC
DDT
12
All of the following are negatives to pesticide use EXCEPT
Pesticides decrease crop yields
Pesticides kill beneficial bugs
Pests evolve a resistance and the pesticide becomes useless
Pesticides are harmful to both humans & wildlife
13
Which of the following is NOT characteristic of organic farming?
crop rotation
managing pests with natural predators (biological IPM)
manure fertilizer
genetic modification (transgenic organisms)
14
Which of the following is NOT a problem associated with GMOs?
Unknown health risks
Inorganic

Increases risk of cancer
15
One way to successfully incorporate genetic engineering is to
Add pesticides to the DNA of the crop plant
cross a crop plant with a native variety
use biological control by importing natural predators
bring in hormones to control developmental processes
16
A more sustainable form of meat production is to
inject cattle with hormones to grow larger faster
eat poultry and farm-raised fish instead of red meat
graze beef in larger numbers on local lands
switch to beef; cattle are larger and can supply more meat
