7. All of the following statements concerning characteristics of predator-prey relationships are correct EXCEPT: A. A rise in the population of prey is often followed by a rise in the population of predators. B. A rise in the population of predators is followed by a decrease in the population of prey. C. Camouflage is an adaptation that protects prey. D. The production of large numbers of offspring within very short periods of time ensures the survival of some prey populations. E. The population of predators most often eliminates the population of prey.

9. A British ecologist state the importance of realizing an organism’s role in the ecosystem as follows: “When an ecologist sees a badger, he should include in his thoughts some definitive idea ot the animal’s place in the community to which it belongs.” What does this statement describes? A. An animal’s habitat B. An animal’s niche C. An animal’s community D. An animal’s ecosystem
11
10. Nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide are mainly among the most biologically important atmospheric gases. What are these called? A. Biotic factors B. Biospheric gases C. Abiotic factors D. Habitat factors

14
13. Which of the following is NOT a density-dependent factor
Increased specialization by a predator B. A limited number of available nesting sites C. A stress syndrome that alters hormone levels D. A very early fall frost E. intraspecific competition
