BIO 182 FINAL EXAM ASU 2026 TEST
BANK COMPLETE QUESTIONS
SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ 3 major air currents.
Answer: Hadley, Ferrel, Polar
◉ Rain shadow.
Answer: A dry area on the downwind side of a mountain.
◉ How do coastlines impact weather?.
Answer: Moderating temperatures, influencing precipitation patterns,
and affecting the severity of storms
◉ How do mountains impact weather?.
Answer: Forcing air to rise (orographic lift), which leads to cooling,
condensation, and precipitation on the windward side
◉ Biome.
Answer: A group of ecosystems with similar climates and organisms
◉ Exponential vs logistic growth curve.
Answer: Exponential growth is characterized by a rapid, accelerating
increase in population size, resulting in a "J-shaped" curve. Logistic
growth, on the other hand, initially shows exponential growth but
, eventually slows down as it approaches a carrying capacity, forming an
"S-shaped" curve
◉ What is a logistic growth curve limited by?.
Answer: Carrying capacity
◉ Density dependent factors.
Answer: Environmental influences on population growth that change in
intensity as population density changes
◉ Mutualism.
Answer: A relationship between two species in which both species
benefit
◉ +/- of mutualism.
Answer: + : increase diversity, stability, and function in ecosystems
- : risk of over-exploitation, vulnerability to environmental changes, and
potential costs to the individuals involved
◉ Commensalism.
Answer: one organism benefits and the other is unaffected
◉ +/- of Commensalism.
Answer: + : resource access and increased survival for the commensal
