BIOL 1442- Practice Questions With Complete Solutions
You do a study on elephants and find that there are eight
elephants per acre. This is a measurement of
Density
Uniform spacing patterns in plants such as the creosote bush are
most often associated with
Competitive interaction between individuals of the same
population
A dispersion pattern refers to
The spacing of organism throughout a habitat
Which of the following traits is characteristic of r-selected
populations
Many offspring per reproductive episode
What is the primary limiting factor that determines why no
female animal can produce a very large number of very large
eggs
There are energy constraints
Great apes, elephants, and whales have which type of
survivorship curve
Type I (survivorship is highest for young individuals; mortality
rates are highest for oldest age)
Which of the following is associated with long-term parental
care
, Few offspring
Imagine five forest communities, each with one hundred
individuals distributed among four different tree species (W, X,
Y, and Z). Which forest community would be most diverse
25 W, 25X, 25Y, 25Z
A foundation species is most likely to be
A primary producer
Phytoplankton is an example of a
Producer
Blue mussels take up almost all of the space available on rocks
in the intertidal zone. Sea stars prey upon blue mussels, making
room for other species to cling to rocks. Based on this scenario,
which statement is true
Sea stars are a keystone species because they exhibit a
disproportionate influence on the structure of the community
relative to their abundance
Which of the following is an example of a commensalism
Cattle (?) eating insects (?)
Which of the following is NOT a mutualistic relationship
A tapeworm feeding from its host
Which organism represents a secondary consumer
Lion
Competition between different species is most likely to occur
