Chapter 5 REVIEW QUESTIONS 1. How did the described volcanoes in Iceland and the Philippines change the environment to lesser or greater extents? 2. Name and describe the attributes of the two categories into which all organisms can be divided based on how they obtain nutrition. All organisms can be divided into autothrops‚ which produce their own food‚ and heterothrops‚ which need to get their food from somewhere else. 3. Name and describe the roles of the three main trophic categories that make

The biomes in Madagascar are several depending what part we are looking at. One biome that they have is savanna‚ they have tropical weather and grasslands with trees. In the other areas where there are changes it is dessert biome‚ they have dry areas‚ where there is hardly trees‚ but they have a lot of dirt.

In Ch 4 of Silent Spring‚ Carson brings about the fact that the most essential natural resource in the world‚ water‚ is being contaminated. With every spray and use of the pesticides and human-made chemicals‚ persistent as they are‚ the resulting effects spread throughout ecosystems. Bioaccumulation occurs through the levels of the food chain(biological magnification)‚ microorganisms and fish are exposed to the chemicals that render the water polluted‚ fish are eaten by birds and other aquatic life

This research task will then provide a good indication as to whether it’s a good decision to introduce more wild life into the area or whether we should remove wild life from the area. The wetland biome is one of the most diverse biomes‚ containing the highest count of different species of organisms out of all the biomes therefore it is critical to conserve it and take care of it because losing

Extinction is a natural selection process. Should humans strive to preserve a representative sample of all biomes or aquatic zones? I personally believe that we are already preserving when it comes to wondering if we are going to become extincted. We as human have a hard time not reproducing‚ this meaning most humans that become married usually begin having children within the first 5 years of their marriage if they haven’t married and already have children. This being said we may not leave an

While they inhabit a multitude of biomes and ecoregions‚ few can be found beyond the tundras at the northernmost regions of continental shelves. At the southern extremes‚ plants have adapted tenaciously to the prevailing conditions. (See Antarctic flora.) Plants are often the dominant physical and structural component of habitats where they occur. Many of the Earth’s biomes are named for the type of vegetation because plants are the dominant organisms in those biomes‚ such as grasslands and forests
