  • Q5
    What is the main difference between an epidemic and a pandemic in terms of disease spread?
    A pandemic covers a wider geographical area, often worldwide, while an epidemic is local.
    There is no difference; they are interchangeable terms.
    An epidemic involves bacterial infections, while a pandemic involves viral infections.
    A pandemic is always less severe than an epidemic.

  • Q6
    In terms of disease control, what is the primary difference between an epidemic and a pandemic?
    There is no difference in disease control measures between an epidemic and a pandemic.
    A pandemic requires a coordinated international response, whereas an epidemic is often managed at a local or national level.
    Only pandemics can be controlled through the use of vaccines.
    Epidemics require the use of antibiotics, while pandemics do not.

  • Q13
    Which of the following best explains why an increase in a population's size could lead to a decrease in that population later on?
    Populations decrease in size naturally over time without any external factors.
    Limited food, water, shelter, and space lead to competition and a decrease in the population size.
    An increase in population size leads to more food, water, shelter, and space.
    Increased predation encourages rapid migration out of the ecosystem.

  • Q14
    How does the availability of water in a habitat influence the size of a population living there?
    Water availability has no impact on population size as organisms can adapt to any condition.
    Only animal populations are affected by water availability, not plant populations.
    Water availability impacts only the migration patterns, not the size of the population.
    Water availability directly impacts the population size because all organisms need water to survive.

  • Q15
    How does limited space in an ecosystem affect animal populations?
    Space limitations have no effect on animal populations as they adapt by becoming smaller.
    Limited space can lead to increased competition for resources, which may decrease population size.
    Limited space encourages species to develop flying abilities to seek new habitats.
    It results in all species populations increasing due to closer proximity and better social interactions.
