BIO 105 EXAM 5 TEST QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
Light enters through the glass, and the heat rays cannot radiate out again, as the glass acts
to trap it; thus it gets warmer.
Greenhouse Effect
A thinned area of the ozone layer, first noted over Antartica.
Ozone Hole
Chemicals used to kill pest species we don't want in certain places.
Pesticides
The concentration of a pesticide as it moves along through a food chain or up in a food
pyramid.
Biological Magnification
Explain "Nature can get along quite well without humans, but humans cannot exist without
Nature."
We need Nature, all of it; Nature doesn't need humans to function.
It causes the extinction of many species. If they're not destroyed outright, their habitat is
and they disappear.
,The Harm of Habitat Destruction
Those introduced into an area where they weren't present before,
The Harm of Invasive Species
Everything is connected to everything else; hence, by preserving other species, we are
benefiting ourselves.
Reasons for preserving native species of plants and animals in all environments.
How do these relate "to our children's children's children"?
We shouldn't plunder the planet and destroy most of it's life forms just because we have
the ability to do this.
Possible consequences of Overpopulation, Pollution, and Habitat Destruction:
Through increasing numbers of people and the resulting pollution and land clearing to
support all these folks, mankind is threatening to ruin all the Earth's ecosystems.
What do You stand to lose if present trends continue?
1. Clean air and water
2. Adequate diet
3. An uncrowded way of life
4. Good education
,5. Other species of wildlife and plants
6. Our present high standard of living.
What changes do we need to make so that the phrase, "the late, great planet Earth" doesn't
become a reality?
We need to cut our population:
1. Have a socioeconomic system that works in harmony with the world's ecosystem.
2. Stop seeking riches or affluent lives.
What can you do?
- Use fuel-efficient vehicles
- Don't waste energy
- Turn off lights when not in use
- Recycle whenever possible
- Use well-made products
Organic Evolution and Special Creation are considered as this.
Broad Concepts to Explain Origins
A gradual change in organisms through time, generally with organisms becoming more
complex.
Evolution
, Proposed a theory on the mechanism of evolution based on the inheritance of acquired
traits involving the use and disuse of structure.
Lamarack
A geologist who reinforced the ideas of uniformitarianism, the idea that the present is the
key to the past.
Lyell
An economist who indicated that the human population is limited in size by food supply
and other factors such as disease and war.
Malthus
Formulated the theory of Evolution based on Natural Selection.
Wallace
Wrote a very convincing book explaining how biological evolution could occur based on
Natural Selection.
Darwin
What was the significance of the HMS Beagle?
It was Darwin's sailing ship.
