- If populations of white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) continue to decline, one approach to prevent extinction would be captive breeding. How does this process work? a. The remaining animals are moved into captivity to try to increase the population, after which they are reintroduced into the wild. b. The remaining animals are moved to a national park. c. The remaining animals are taken to the largest zoos so more people can see them. d. A few individuals are moved to an outdoor enclosure to ensure that mates are available.arrow_forwardIf populations of white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) continue to decline, one approach to prevent extinction would be captive breeding.

- Why do you suppose plants and forests appeared in large numbers before large animals did? Several of the choices may be correct. Select the options you expect to be the strongest contributing factors.A. Animals need food, and there was none on land before plants. B. Plants were driven to land by scarce resources in the oceans, such as light and minerals. C. It was too cold for animals at first. D. Animals are more susceptible to radiation and needed more ozone in order to survive out of the water. E. The order was pure chance and could have gone either way. F. There was not enough oxygen for lungs to be effective before plants colonized land. G. The increased oxygen levels produced by land plants accelerated animal evolution. H. Plants had to change less to survive on land.arrow_forwardHumans are not autotrophic, this means we a. cannot manufacture our own nutrients. b. require calorie dense foods. c. produce our own body heat. d. produce salty body fluids. Morbidity refers to a. the number of cases of disease per unit of population occurring over a unit of time. b. the first occurrence of menstruation. c. the number of deaths attributable to a particular per unit of population over a unit of time. d. the statistical likelihood of a person dying from a particular cause.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a Monotreme? a. kangaroo b. koala c. bandicoot d. platypusarrow_forward

Assuming that this rate of increase remains the same, about how long should it take for the population to grow larger than 500 individuals? a. What type of growth is occurring, geometric or exponential? 5. What equation will you use? c.

Writing Notesarrow_forwardWhich example below is a positive feedback relevant to Earth’s global energy balance? a. Increased temperature causes snow to melt. This exposes bare ground, which absorbs more solar radiation than snow, leading to further increases in temperature. b. Increased temperature causes snow to melt, which allows increased vegetation to remove CO2 from the atmosphere thereby reducing temperature. c. Increased temperature causes more solar radiation to enter the atmosphere thereby further increasing temperature. d. Increased CO2 causes the oceans to become more acidic which causes oceanic volcanoes to erupt releasing more CO2 into the environment. e. Burning fossil fuels releases CO2, which traps long-wave radiation causing temperatures to increase.arrow_forwardImagine a sealed terrarium containing a plant and a beetle.
