Based on the diagram, how would you explain the
increase in PCBs as you move up the food chain

• Biostimulation
• Biomagnification
• Bioregeneration
• bioreplication

3
If the fox was removed from the food web

• The owl population will rise
• The squirrel population will decline
• The grasshopper population will rise
• The frog population will increase

I am an herbivore

• Mouse
• Grasshopper
• Squirrel
• Frog
• fox

There has been a dramatic decrease in the shrew
population. What environmental factor may have
caused this dramatic decline

• DDT in the environment has reduced the owl
  population
• The grass has been sprayed with a pesticide
• The introduction of a predator that feeds on owls
• PETA has organized a save the shrew club

In many bee-pollinated flowers, there is a
region of low ultraviolet reflectance near the
center of each petal.   This pattern is invisible
to humans because our visual spectrum does not
extend into the ultraviolet range.   Bees,
however, can detect ultraviolet light.   The
contrasting ultraviolet pattern (called a nectar
guide) helps a bee quickly locate the flower's
center.   This type of relationship between the
flower and the bee is best described as

• Commensalism
• Parasitism
• Mutualism
• Predator prey

A new aquarium plant fertilizer is believed
to cause harm to the fish within the tank. In
order to test this new fertilizer, a group of
aquarists added the various amounts of the
fertilizer to four different aquaria. The
results of the experiment are below. Apart
from the fertilizer what biotic factor(s) may
have caused the death of the fish in the various
tanks

• Temperature of the water
• Amount of light
• Number of hiding places for the fish
• Parasitic relationship with bacteria

22
What factors could result in a drop in the hare
population

• An increase in the lynx population
• Diminished food supply for the growing hare
  population
• Disease in the lynx population
• An introduction of a new prey for the lynx
