The increase use of fossil fuels increases the
Select one:
O a. rate of photosynthesis of marine and land producers
O b.
cycling of sulfur and phosphorus compounds
О с.
biomass of denitrification bacteria in the soil
O d. greenhouse effect and possibility of global warming
One way of representing the structure of an ecosystem is through ecological pyramids. Ecological pyramids represent the amount of organisms, biomass or energy at each tropic
level, which most often is in a pyramidal shape. Why are most visual representations of ecosystems in the shape of a pyramid?
Select one:
O a.
The large number of primary consumers supplies a large amount of energy for fewer herbivores.
At each trophic level, energy is lost (as heat) in the transfer of energy from one trophic level to another.
Producers use a low amount of sunlight and produce a low amount of energy for all other organisms.
O d. Very large carnivores (for example, sharks) have the most energy available.
O b.
OC
An increase in the number of producers at the first trophic level affects the number of herbivores in the second trophic level resulting in
Select one:
O a.
O b.
О с.
O d.
less energy transferred and a decrease in herbivore populations
more energy transferred and a decrease in autotroph populations
more energy available for herbivores and an increase in herbivore populations
less energy transferred and a rise in herbivore populations
In some years moose are greatly infected with ticks. High density of ticks (#/cm²)
can cause the death of weakened moose. The principal food of moose is buds of
willow and hazelnut shrubs.
The correct food chain illustrated is
Select one:
O a. producer: ticks, 1st order consumer: moose, 2nd order consumer: buds
O b. producer: sun, 1st order consumer: buds, 2nd order consumer: moose
Oc producer: buds, 1st order consumer: moose, 2nd order consumer: ticks
O d. producer: sun, 1st order consumer: moose, 2nd order consumer ticks

Most biogeochemical cycles involve the movement of material through land, air, and water. Which of the following biogeochemical cycles does NOT involve all three?
Select one:
O a. hydrological cycle
O b.
b.
carbon cycle
O c.
phosphorus cycle
O d. nitrogen cycle
Clear my choice
Phosphorus is an element that differs in its matter cycle from the nitrogen and carbon cycles because
Select one:
O a. it does not involve the atmosphere
O b.
b.
O C
O d. it is not transported in fluid systems
the gas state of its compounds is too dense
it is more complex in its mineral ore configuration
Analysis of the pattern of energy distribution within the biosphere indicates that the majority of solar radiation is
Select one:
O a.
a. used to drive the water cycle
O b.
used to drive air and water currents
O c.
trapped by green plants
O d. absorbed by the atmosphere and Earth's surface
b.
One of the environmental problems associated with burning of coal to produce electrical energy is
Select one:
O a. denitrification of nitrate, releasing nitrogen gas into the atmosphere.
b.
ammonification.
O c. chemical precipitation of phosphates in aquatic ecosystems.
O d. acid deposition.
