- Q3The acacia ant nests and feeds in the plant’s hollow thorns. The ant helps protect the bullshorn acacia by attacking insects and grazing animals that come near the plant. The relationship between the acacia ant and the bullshorn acacia is an example of which of the following?ParasitismNeutralismMutualismCommensalism60s
- Q4Which two processes are identified by the labels X and Y?X: Fermentation Y: Nitrogen fixationX: Respiration Y: PredationX: Adaptation Y: DecompositionX: Decomposition Y: Respiration60s
- Q5Parrotfish are herbivores that are found in coral reefs. To escape predation, a parrotfish will graze with a rabbitfish, which has venomous spines at the end of its pelvic fins. The rabbitfish does not benefit from this relationship. Which type of relationship do the parrotfish and the rabbitfish have in the coral-reef environment?MutualisticCommensalPredator–preyParasitic60s
- Q6Which of the following should the student add more of to help remove nitrates and improve the natural cycling of nitrogen in this aquarium?FishNitrobacterWaterPlants60s
- Q7Atmospheric nitrogen has to be combined with other elements, or fixed, in order to be used by plants. Lightning is one way that nitrogen is fixed. When lightning occurs, the extreme heat breaks the bonds in nitrogen molecules, allowing nitrogen to combine with oxygen and form nitrogen oxides. In what way is most of the nitrogen fixed by lightning made available for use by plants?It is incorporated into the exoskeletons of flying insects that eat plants.It is carried by rain to the soil.It is moved by the wind toward dry areas.It is inhaled and exhaled by birds roosting in trees during rainstorms.60s
- Q8Which of these organisms are in a trophic level that receives a larger percentage of the energy captured by the producers than the percentage received at the bats’ trophic level?HawksMountain lionsGround squirrelsSnakes60s
- Q9Based on the energy flow between trophic levels in an energy pyramid, how much energy would be expected to be found at the secondary consumer level in this pyramid?1,000 joules500 joules50 joules100 joules60s
- Q10When constructing an energy pyramid of the swamp ecosystem, which of these would be placed at the top of the pyramid?Great blue heronEastern mud turtleGrass carpAmerican alligator60s
