1 Science 10 Biology Review Chapter 1 Name: 1. A multi-million dollar experiment called the Biosphere II was built in Tucson Arizona. This building enclosed several mechanically maintained environments. These included a tropical rainforest, desert, grassland, and a 4 million litre tropical ocean. Which of the following is represented by the different environments in Biosphere II. a) biomes b) habitats c) populations d) ecosystems 2. Which of the following might contain an abiotic component of an environment? a) bacteria b) algae c) sheep d) soil 3. Which of the following is a biotic component of an environment? a) temperature b) precipitation c) fungi d) moisture 4. The average conditions of the atmosphere in a large region over 30 years is represented by a: a) climatograph b) adaptation c) biome d) ecosystem 5. Which of the following abiotic factors affects temperature and precipitation? (Pick the best answer!) a) Latitude b) Latitude and Moisture c) Moisture, Elevation and Ocean Currents d) Latitude, Elevation and Ocean Currents 6. Which of the following is an example of a biome? a) the Equator b) the Nile River c) the city of Cairo d) the Sahara Desert 7. Which of the following is an example of parasitism? a) The red-billed oxpecker climbs over the skin of giraffes, searching for insects to eat. The giraffe is helped because the oxpecker takes away the irritating pests. b) The dodder is a plant that lives on other plants, getting nutrients from them. Dodders do not have any chlorophyll necessary for photosynthesis and do not make their own food. c) The remora fish has a suction disk on the top of its head, which is uses to harmlessly attach itself to sharks. It is then protected by the shark and can pick up scraps of food the shark drops. d) Acacia ants protect the acacia tree in Costa Rica. They bite animals that try to eat parts of the tree. In return, the tree provides the ants with a safe place to nest inside its large thorns. The tree also produces a sweet substance for the ants to eat. 8. Which of the following is a characteristic of the boreal forest biome? a) coniferous trees b) permafrost c) constant temperature throughout the year d) annual precipitation of more than 250 cm per year

3 18. In a parasitic relationship, the host species: a) always dies b) never dies c) is harmed in the relationship d) benefits in the relationship 19. Competition is defined as: a) predator-prey interaction in which one organism eats all or part of another organism b) a harmful interaction between two or more organisms that occurs when the organisms compete for the same resource c) a symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is harmed d) a part of a biome in which abiotic components interact with biotic components 20.
