Geotropism, thigmotropism, and phototropism Check Your Answer Ecology for 500 dollars Answer: B. Phototropism, Thigmotropism, and Geotropism Reason: Light=Photo Geo=Gravity Thigmo=Touch Return to the Main Board Ecology for 500 Question: What would cause a population to decrease? A. Increase in growth rate B. No limiting factors C. Less predation D. Competition from another species Check Your Answer Ecology for 500 Answer: D. Competition from another species Reason: Competition will cause a decrease in the amount of food and space and the population will decrease Return to the Main Board Ecology for 500 Question: Global Warming causes flooding because _____________. A. Glaciers melt B. Ocean becomes more salty C. There is an increase in carbon dioxide D. Fossil fuels are burned Check Your Answer Ecology for 500 Answer: A. glaciers melt Reason: Glaciers melting due to an increase in global temperatures in areas below sea level will flood Return to the Main Board Ecology for 500 Question: When pesticides enter a food chain as they move up the food chain concentrations of the pesticide INCREASE due to A. Habitat Fragmentation B. Biodiversity C. Deforestation D. Biomagnification Check Your Answer Ecology for 500 Answer: D. Biomagnification Reason: When organisms eat other organisms the pollutants become more concentrated at each level Back to Game Board Ecology for 500 Question: Fossil Fuels are considered _____________. A. Renewable because they are easily replaced. B. Nonrenewable because they take millions of years to form. C. Renewable because they take millions of years to form. D. Nonrenewable because ecosystems change forever when they are burned Check Your Answer Ecology for 500 Answer: B. Nonrenewable Resource that takes millions of years to form Back to Game Board Nature of Science for 400 Question: A scientist is studying the effects of sunlight on plant growth in the bottom of a lake What is the independent variable? A. Amount of sunlight B. The growth of the plants C. The type of plants D. The amount of water Check Your Answer Nature of Science for 400 Answer: A. The amount of sunlight Reason: That is the variable that you changed Back to Game Board Ecologyfor 400 Question: Which of the following is a reason that carbon cycle is being damaged? A. The depletion of the ozone layer B. The introduction of exotic species C. The burning of fossil fuels D. Acid Rain Check Your Answer Nature of Science for 400 Answer: C. Burning fossil fuels Reason: When factories, cars and power plants burn fossil fuels they release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Back to Game Board Ecology for 400 Question: What type of population growth does the graph show? 1. Exponential Growth 2. J Curve 3. Logistic Growth 4. U Curve Check Your Answer Ecology for 400 Answer: C. Logistic Growth Reason: The graph shows a period of exponential graph and then a slowing and eventually stop to population growth Back to Game Board Ecology for 400 Question: Chemicals combine with water vapor to form A. Acid Rain B. Smog C. CFC’s D. DDT Check Your Answer Ecology for 400 Answer: A. Acid Rain Back to Game Board Ecology for 400 Question: Which one of the following is NOT a density dependent factor? A. Disease B. Predation C. Competition D. Natural Disasters Check Your Answer Ecology for 400 Answer: D. Natural Disasters Reason: Do not depend on the population they have the same effect on any size population Back to Game Board Nature of Science for 300 Question: What type of succession is this and what is the climax community? A. Primary Moss Stage B. Secondary Moss Stage C. Primary Forest D. Secondary Forest Check Your Answer Nature of Science for 300 Answer: C. Primary and Forest Reason: It starts on Bare rock so it is primary and the climax community is the last stable species the forest Back to Game Board Nature of Science for 300 Question Cacti provide a home for the woodpecker this is an example of_____________. A. Symbiosis B. Mutualism C. Commensalism D. Parasitism Check Your Answer Nature of Science for 300 Answer: C. Reason: CommensalismThe Cacti is unaffected and the woodpecker benefits Back to Game Board Ecology for 300 Question: Question: Cactus have stems instead of leaves to store water because they are found in a desert biome. This is an example of a (an)? A. Limiting factor B. Biome C. Adaptation D. Density Dependent Factor Check Your Answer Ecology for 300 Answer: C. Adaptation Reason: This is an example of an inherited characteristic that allows the cactus to survive in the desert. Back to Game Board Ecology for 300 Question: ___________________ is the largest number of organisms an environment can hold. A. Density Dependent Limiting Factor B. Population Growth C. Population Density D. Carrying Capacity Check Your Answer Ecology for 300 Answer: D. Carrying Capacity Back to Game Board Ecology for 300 Question: Nitrogen Fixation is _____________ A. The conversion of a useable form of Nitrogen into Nitrogen gas B. The conversion of Nitrogen gas into a useable form of Nitrogen C. The breaking down of organisms D. The release of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere Check Your Answer Ecology for 300 Answer: B. Conversion of Nitrogen gas into a useable form of Nitrogen Back to Game Board Nature of Science for 200 Question: Question: If a grasshopper eats grass and the grasshopper is eaten by a bird. What is the bird’s trophic level in the food chain? A. Producer B. Tertiary Consumer C. Primary Consumer D. Secondary Consumer Check Your Answer Nature of Science for 200 Answer: Secondary Consumer Reason: It eats the primary consumer that ate the producer Back to Game Board Nature of Science 200 Question: The biome that has the greatest biodiversity is _____. A. Rainforest B. Taiga C. Temperate Deciduous Forest D. Dessert Check Your Answer Nature of Science for 200 Answer: A.

Temperate Forest B. Tropical Rainforest C. Tundra D. Boreal Forest Check Your Answer Ecology for 200 Answer: C. Tundra Back to Game Board Ecology for 200 Question: A series of changes that occur in a community over time is called ___________ and erupting volcano is an example of _________________. A. Climax Community, Primary B. Succession, Primary C. Succession , Secondary D. Pioneer Species, Secondary Check Your Answer Ecology for 200 Answer: B.
