Below are the questions for the exam with the choices of answers:
Question #1
A global patterns of atmospheric circulation
B the dominant herbivorous organisms of a region
C the intensity of a solar radiation
D global patterns of oceanic circulation
Question #2
A The carrying capacity will increase
B The population may shoot past its carrying capacity too quickly and then crash
C The population will slowly decline until it reaches its carrying capacity and fluctuate at about that number
D Both a) and d) are possible
E The level of resources in the habitat will increase equally
Question #3
A 100
B 10
C 10,000
D 100
E 2,000
Question #4
A nitrogen is a major constituent of phospholipids, ATP, and other energy-storing molecules
B nitrogen is a component of amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
C nitrogen forms the framewok for organic molecules essential to all organisms
D The nitrogen cycle is NOT important biologically: the atmosphere is composed of 78% nitrogen, so nitrogen is freely available to all living organisms regardless of where it is in its cycle
E photosynthesis by plants and phytoplankton removes substantial amounts of atmospheric nitrogen
Question #5
A sugars
B substrates
C work
D enzymes
Question #6
A on the surface of recently cooled lava
B on an island that has just risen out of the ocean
C in a forest that had burned to bare ground
D on bare ground exposed by the retreat of a glacier
Question #7
A The sugars made during photosynthesis are building blocks of DNA
B All other organisms require carbon dioxide for life processes
C All cells must have chloroplasts in order to survive
D Photosynthesis captures energy that other organisms access when they eat either plants or organisms that eat plants

A J-shaped population curve
B S-shaped population curve
C oscillating cycle
D C-shaped population curve

B estuaries
C temperate forests
D deserts
Question #10
A The communities would be statistically indistinguishable from one another.
B Other predators will simply replace P.ochraceus and take advantage of prey that P.ochraceus consumed
C Prey species, such as mussels, would decline, but most species within the community would be unaffected.
D Sea star prey, such as mussels, might increase in abundance and crowd out other community members
Question #11
A it has occurred relatively rapidly

B cause the abundance of their prey to rise
C drive their prey to extinction
D quickly alter the behavior of their prey
Question #14
