Part II MULTIPLE CHOICE
Directions: Answer the following questions.
A. How should each of the ecosystems below be used
to conserve its resources? Explain your choice.

For question no. 7-8 study the graph below.

1. Coral reef
a. Promote it as an ecotourism destination
b. Collect coral fishes and sell them to pet shops.
c. Collect corals as souvenir items for tourists.

b. Get only minor forest products.
c. Advertise it as a camping site.
4. Cocolisap infestation outbreak has been declared in
some parts of the Philippines. The cocolisap feeds on
the sap of the coconut tree and injects toxic enzymes,
resulting in discolored leaves and deformed plant
tissues that retard its growth of coconut tree. This,
results in a decrease of the survival rate of coconut
trees. Which of the following factors limit the population
of coconut trees?
a. diseases and parasites
c. predation
b. emigration
d. competition for resources
5. Davao is known for its wide variety of fruits and other

graph:
a. normal growth
c. logistic growth
b. exponential growth
d. none of the above

7. What can you infer about the graph?

a. The graph shows that an increase in population of
the protist P. Aurelia causes a decrease in the
population of P. caudatum when they are grown
together.
b. The graph is an example of a density-dependent
limiting factor.
c. The graph is an example of a density-independent
limiting factor.
d. The population of P. caudatum decreases while the
population of P.
aurelia increases when they are grown together.
8. Which of the two protists is better adapted to
competition?
a. P. aurelia
c. Both of them
b. P. caudatum
d. None of them
9. Which of the following causes a decreasing wildlife
population in most of the places in our country?
