Biodiversity Chapter 5 Jeopardy! Mrs. Einstein

What are the three types of biodiveristy?

Which of the following is a direct benefit of biodiversity? Faster Erosion Rates Greater amounts of rainfall Improved Soil Fertility Decreased Carbon Dioxide emissions

If a disturbance were to occur in an ecosystem, which of the following ecosystems would be vulnerable to extinctions? Island Ecosystem Continental Ecosystems Marine Ecosystems Tropical Ecosystems

What are two ways we can restore an ecosystem?

3. Which of the following would be most effective in slowing the loss of biodiversity? freezing fertilized eggs of endangered animals in case the species become extinct in the wild setting aside small plots of land in a variety of ecosystems, such as forests, grasslands, and marshes creating large parks/preserves in biodiversity hotspots requiring every country to maintain a seed bank

All of the following are consequences of human pollution except ________. A. Loss of habitat B. Eutrophication C. Invasive species D. Acid precipitation

The extinction rate of terrestrial and freshwater species is currently higher than the extinction rate of marine species. What is the most likely reason for this? A. Human activities have a greater impact on terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems B. There are no economic incentives for humans to use ocean resources C. Marine organisms have had a longer time to adapt to their environment. D. The oceans have a greater area than land and freshwater ecosystems combined.

Sulfur and nitrogen compounds react with water and other substances in the air to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid. This results in….. Eutrophication Acid Precipitation Biomagnification Bioaccumulation

Looking at the picture below, which one would have the greatest amount of biodiversity?

Which of the following organisms would be expected to have the highest concentration of mercury pollution in its tissues? primary producers such as aquatic plants, phytoplankton, and algae B. primary consumers, such as zooplankton C. the tertiary consumers, such as tuna and sharks. D. the secondary consumers, such as sardines and herring

The use of microorganisms to degrade chemical pollutants is called... Introduced Species Biological Augmentation Biomagnification Bioremediation

Which is the renewable energy source? Burning of coal Growing of corn Propane Gas Grill Natural Gas Furnace

Pharmaceuticals and agriculture products are examples of….. Direct Economic Value Indirect Economic Value Sustainable Use Habitat Destruction

The removing of wolves from Yellowstone National Park caused…. Overexploitation of other species Destruction of the entire habitat The habitat to become fragmented Disruption of the entire habitat

Eutrophication is caused by runoff containing nutrients that does what to kill fish in a lake? Algae overproduce and die; bacteria use up all the oxygen so fish die. Algae overproduce and crowd out fish and other species Fish overproduce and eat all possible sources of food then starve Algae overproduce oxygen, which is toxic to fish in high quantities.
