Science Name: Date: Class: Range of Tolerance Data Analysis One of the responsibilities of an aquatic biologist is to make sure that the abiotic factors stay wiumh the acceptable ranges for the optimal help for the Species within the local ecosystem. Bcologists, including aquatic biologists, use the range of tolerance to monitor the number of different populations residing in the area. m order to do so they use statistical models. Create a graph displaying on the x-axis the ranges of abiotic conditions such as temperature to study the population of rainbow trout in the area ( use the launch model as an example), Label each interval with temperature range and condition. What Causing Stress in Rainbow Trout Population The optimal range is the amount of an abiotic factor that produces the highest possible population. For water temperature, this would be about 6-10°C. Label this area on the graph. 1. 2. The zone of physiologic stress occurs when an abiotic factor exists at levels that are…
Biodiversity is the study of the variety of life. Which of the following is/are ways we can measure biodiversity? Endemic Species Ecosystem Genetic Climate Community Species
Which of the following is an example of biological magnification? O Increasing concentrations of chemicals are present in organisms at higher trophic levels. Explosive expansion of species following an ecological disturbance increase diversity. O Diversification of species depends on the size and continuity of their regional habitat. Members of a species increase in size over time because the largest organisms are more fit. Larger organisms utilize more abiotic resources than smaller organisms.
A ‘Habitat’ is: A piece to buy furniture and furnishing The number of different organisms living in a specific area The same as an ecosystem A particular area inhibited by plants and animals
Biodiversity is described as: The seasonal and daily changes in an environment The range of different species in an environment The influence of physical factors on an environment The way species differ from one another
Which of the following is a cause of the loss of Biodiversity?A. Massive exploitation of species for their commercial valueB. Too much solid waste on the terrestrial landC. Forest and grasslands are protected by the legislationD. Pollution enhances the natural habitatsE. Decreasing appetite for food
An ecosystem includes: (Select all that apply.) the interacting organisms in the area. O abiotic factors of the area. closely related organisms in a different area. predators in the area.
Ecology is best defined as the study of how interactions between organisms lead to changes across generations. the study of interactions between organisms. the study of the relationships between organisms and their environment. O the study of the biotic and abiotic environment.
