  Strengths and Improvement Opportunities Ch 5 Population Quiz B Course: AP Environmental Science ‡ Instructor: SHANNON ‡ Questions: 33 QUESTION A: rarely kill their hosts B: are usually larger than their hosts C: must be internal to their hosts D: may strengthen their hosts over a long period of time E: are usually microscopic A: True B: False A: interspecific competition B: predation C: parasitism D: mutualism E: commensalism A: law of conservation of mass B: principle of sustainability C: interspecific competition D: competitive exclusion principle E: commensalism A: monarch; viceroy; camouflage B: monarch; zebra swallowtail; camouflage C: viceroy; zebra swallowtail; mimicry D: viceroy; monarch; mimicry E: viceroy; monarch; camouflage When populations of two different species interact over long periods of time, changes in the gene pool of one species can lead to changes in the gene pool of the other. As the cheetah becomes faster, the springbok becomes more nimble and elusive. This is called: A: competition B: coevolution C: coincidence D: commensalism E: predation Clownfish are brightly colored and live in the stinging tentacles of the sea anemone. The clownfish darts out from cover to get small fish and invertebrates and brings them back to eat. The wastes of the clownfish as well as the tiny pieces of the food are absorbed and broken down by the sea anemone. The relationship between clownfish and sea anemone is A: interspecific competition B: predation C: parasitism E: commensalism Kelp forests are a very important ecosystem in marine waters by supporting important biodiversity. These kelp forests are threatened by all of the following except A: water pollution containing herbicides B: sea urchins D: humans E: water pollution containing fertilizers A: competitive exclusion principle B: resource partitioning C: population distribution D: interspecific competition E: mimicry B: the current rate of growth of a population C: an expression of how many offspring survive to reproduce D: determined by subtracting immigration minus emigration E: the future growth rate of a population A: the one-way movement of individuals into an established population B: the one-way movement of individuals out of an uninhabited area D: the repeated movement into and out of an area E: the lack of immigration into an area A: the rate at which a population will reach its carrying capacity B: the rate at which a population would grow with unlimited resources C: determined by subtracting deaths from births and emigration from immigration D: not influenced by environmental resistance E: highest in large animals such as elephants and humans A: logistic growth B: environmental resistance C: exponential growth D: carrying capacity E: biotic potential A: logistic growth B: environmental resistance C: exponential growth D: carrying capacity E: biotic potential A: have high genetic diversity B: are more response to environmental changes than r-strategists C: exhibit fast rates of evolution D: are generally less adaptable to change than r-strategists E: reach reproductive age rapidly Which of the following is an r-strategist? A: human B: cockroach C: rhinoceros D: saguaro cactus E: whale A: habitat destruction B: fire C: pollution D: floods E: competition for resources A: stable B: irruptive C: cyclic D: irregular E: regular A: a rock exposed by a retreating glacier B: an abandoned farm C: a clear-cut forest D: newly flooded land E: a recently burned forest A: physical weathering B: releasing of nutrients from rock C: arrival of pioneer species D: trapping of wind-blown soil E: acid rain A: pioneer species B: early successional plant species D: late successional plant species E: climax plant species Use the graph (attached) to answer the following question. Choose the portion of the graph that can also be called a "dieback". A: A B: B C: C Use the graph (attached) to answer the following question. Choose the portion of the graph that represents the number of reindeer that can be sustained indefinitely in a given area. The horizontal line indicates the carrying capacity for the area. A: A B: B C: C Use the graph (attached) to answer the following question. Choose the portion of the graph that represents the number of reindeer that exceeded the carrying capacity of their environment (indicated by the horizontal line) A: A B: B C: C True False True False A: runoff B: shore erosion C: coastal pollution D: tidal waves E: tidal pools A: an increase in predators B: a decrease in birth rates C: an increase in emigration D: a decrease in environmental pressures What is succession that begins in an area where an ecosystem has been disturbed, removed, or destroyed, and that contains soil or bottom sedment? A: primary succession B: secondary succession C: ecological establishment D: disturbance succession E: facilitation A: community B: population C: ecosystem D: biosphere E: biome A: random B: uniform C: clumped D: circles E: none of these A: mimicry B: coevolution C: parasitism D: commnsalism E: mutualism A: they scared the tourists. C: they were ruining the kelp beds. D: they were eating all the shellfish. E: they raided valuable bird nests
