Pre-test 1. investigating how the amount of annual precipitation affects a tree species 2. organismal ecology 3. biosphere 4.

The transplanted species are often disruptive to their new communities. 5. water and temperature 6. major type of ecosystem 7. zooplankton 8. nutrients from human-altered terrestrial ecosystems are deposited in the water body ... anaerobic conditions in deeper waters 9. savanna, chaparral, temperate grassland, and coniferous forest 10. desert Self-Quiz 1. landscape ecology 2. Dispersal occurs only on an evolutionary time scale. 3. a loss of seasonal variation at northern and southern latitudes. 4. in biomes at different latitudes. 5. regulating the pH of freshwater biomes and terrestrial groundwater. 6. aphotic zone 7. Eutrophic lakes are richer in nutrients. 8. vegetation demonstrating stratification 9. tropical forests-nearly constant day length and temperature 10. tropical rain forest Activities Test 1. birth defects 2. fat ... milk 3. bacteria on the surface of your skin 4. anatomical and behavioral 5. anatomical, behavioral, and physiological 6. behavioral and physiological 7. the presence of algae 8. substrate at the bottom of the body of water 9. marine 10. estuary 11. temperature and rainfall 12. desert 13. coniferous forest 14. tropical rain forest 15. tundra Chapter Quiz 1. How do tapeworms adapt to life in the human intestine? 2. Biosphere 3. help prevent the adult frog's body from drying out 4. Dry air, originating at the equator, descends toward Earth's surface between 30 north latitude and 30 south latitude.

5. plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria obtain energy from sunlight, and heat escapes from the biosphere into space 6. the scarcity of rain on the eastern flank and adjacent lowlands compared with the western flank 7. The major factors affecting the distribution of biomes are temperature and precipitation. 8. algae and cyanobacteria that live in the photic zone 9. Nutrient input to a lake causes the explosive growth of algal and cyanobacterial populations. Decomposition of dead algae and cyanobacteria by bacteria results in the depletion of oxygen in the water, which leads to the death of fish. 10. algae, cyanobacteria, and animals that drift near the surfaces of oceans, lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams 11. few littoral plants and a low density of phytoplankton 12. littoral 13. food chains are detritus-based 14. convergent evolution 15. tundra 16. coniferous forest 17. Both can claim epiphytes as a common plant type. 18. The second and third answers are correct. 19. savanna: long, cold winters; abundant precipitation throughout the year 20. taiga 21. tropical rain forest 22. to compare the temperature and precipitation of different biomes 23. Permafrost prevents much water from infiltrating the soil. 24. The soil is fertile and most grassland has been converted to farmland. 25. tundra and desert 26. tropical rain forest
