+10The biosphere includes all of the following EXCEPT:AtmosphereTroposphereGeosphereHydrospherethermosphere

+11

Life on Earth depends on three interconnected factors. Which of the following are involved in sustaining life on Earth?I. Flow of high-quality energyII. Cycling of Matter or nutrientsIII. Gravity

+12A group of salmon swimming in a river would be an example of a(n):PopulationOrganismCommunityEcosystemhabitat

+13

Solar energy flowing through the biosphere does all of the following EXCEPT:Warms the atmosphereEvaporates waterGenerates windsNeutralizes carbon gasSupports plant growth

+14

Most of the solar radiation that passes through the atmosphere:Is degraded into longer wavelength infrared radiation

Is converted to gamma radiationIs deflected off hard surfacesIs absorbed by the ozoneIs absorbed by organisms

+15

Which of the following is NOT true regarding the Greenhouse Effect (GHE):The GHE is vital to continued life on Earth

as we know itThe GHE helps warm the troposphere IT is caused by the interaction of gaseous

molecules that are excited by infrared radiation

It is based on the potential energy of the molecules in the air

It can be affected by the concentration of the atmospheric gases

+16Which of the following is a limiting factor for a grassland biome?Number of speciesSpecies of the grassSize of the populationNumber of organismsAmount of precipitation

+17Which of the following is a correctly diagramed food chain:Plankton – filter feeding clam—octopus—shark

Hawk—snake—mouse—grassScavenging vulture—oak tree—squirrel—fungi

apple tree—worm—salmon—plankton

+18The % of usable energy transferred as biomass from one trophic level to another is known as:Energy flowGross primary productivityEcological efficiencyBiological diversityRange of tolerance

+19 All of the following are true of Net Primary

Productivity (NPP) except: The rate at which an ecosystem’s producers can

convert solar energy into biomass is used in determining it

The chemical energy which is available in producer’s biomass for consumers is used in determining it

It is higher in certain biomes receiving more solar radiation, like those found closer to the equator

It is higher in certain aquatic life zones in which the limiting factor of nutrients are available

It gives scientists information about the energy availability to support food webs in a given ecosystem
