The following questions are based on the situations below. Situation 1: A population of trout in a lake has significantly declined over the past year. The main source of food for the fish in this lake are aquatic insects. Due to poor climate conditions, there are significantly fewer insects and thus, not enough food to sustain the population of trout in the lake. Trout is a food supply for larger fish in the lake and without enough trout, other fish are negatively impacted in the lake. 14. What is the problem? a. Trout population has increased b. Insect population has increased c. Insect population has decreased d. Larger fish population has increased 15. What has caused the problem? a. Poor climate conditions b. Humans overfishing c. Pesticides being used on the insects- d. Decreased water levels 16. How could humans alter carrying capacity so the trout population returns to its normal level? a. Humans could alter the carrying capacity by hunting the trout b. Humans could alter the carrying capacity by hunting the larger fish c. Humans could alter the carrying capacity by breeding the insects d. Humans could alter the carrying capacity by breeding the larger fish Situation 2: The population of bullfrogs is growing out of control near a small pond. Its main predator, a snake species, was killed off by disease. Without this natural predator, the bullfrogs can thrive in and around the pond. The growing frog population is having a negative impact on the quality of the environment and other species living in the area. 17. What is the problem near the small pond? a. Bullfrog population is too small b. Bullfrog population is too large c. Snake population is too large d. Snake population is killing the bullfrogs 18. What has caused the problem? a. Natural Disaster wiped out the snake population b. Humans began hunting the snakes A disease killed all the snakes C. d. Snakes went to a different ecosystem
