APES UNIT ONE EXAM WITH
ACCURATE SOLLUTION
ecosystems are the interaction of living & nonliving things in a specific area while the
environment refers to the natural world more broadly. A habitat is the specific env.
conditions a given species needs to survive - ANSWER-Explain the difference between
ecosystem, habitat, and environment:
Symbiosis just refers to any close interaction where species live in close proximity, even
if it's harmful to one species (such as a parasite living in its host.) Mutualism is a specific
type of symbiosis that benefits both species - ANSWER-Explain the difference between
symbiosis and mutualism:
Lions eating zebras or deer eating leaves - ANSWER-Predation ex
Bees & plants they pollinate, coral & algae - ANSWER-Mutualism ex
Birds nesting in tree
interaction between two organisms where one benefits, and one is neutral - ANSWER-
Commensalism ex
An area that shares an average yearly temperature and precipitation pattern -
ANSWER-Define biome
temperature forest, boreal forest, woodland/shrubland, temperate grassland -
ANSWER-Identify a biome with lower annual precip. and temp. averages than the
tropical rainforest:
cacti have thick, waxy cuticles or membranes to conserve water and prevent high
temperatures from causing water loss - ANSWER-Identify a desert species and
describe how it's adapted to the avg. annual temp. & precip of its biome:
a warming global climate would expand the range of tropical rainforests north and south
from the tropics as subtropical regions warm and receive more rainfall - ANSWER-
Describe how a warming global climate may impact the distribution of tropical
rainforests
1. Thicker membranes/leaf pores that prevent salt from entering/pump salt out
