Chapter 1 Assessment (20/20)
1. Which of the following features are NOT present at the ecosystem level?
a. input of solar energy
b. complex interactions between a variety of populations
c. chemical cycling through the food chain
d. includes the entire region of the Earth's surface that is inhabited by living
organisms
e. energy flow that begins at the producer level
2. Arrange in order, the levels of ecological study from most inclusive to most exclusive:
a. individual organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere
b. biosphere, ecosystem, community, population, individual organism
c. ecosystem, biosphere, population, community, individual organism
d. individual organism, community, population, ecosystem, biosphere
3. Some members of Daphnia, a water flea, have a genetic mutation that causes them to
prefer warmer environments. These members reproduce and pass these genetic
changes to their offspring. The next generation will occupy warmer environments not
previously occupied by this species. This is an example of
a. adaptation.
b. homeostasis.
c. irritability.
d. development
4. Which listing correctly indicates a sequence of increasing biological organization?
a. organ, tissue, atom, molecule
b. molecule, cell, organelle, atom
