| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What type of relationship exists between two organisms if both of them benefit from the relationship? | Mutualism |
| What type of relationship exists between two organisms if one of them benefits but the other is neither helped nor harmed from the relationship? | Commensalism |
| What type of relationship exists between two organisms when one organism benefits from the relationship and the other organism becomes prey? | Predation |
| What is an example of a harmful interaction? | Competition |
| What is an example of a helpful interaction that harms no animal? | Mutualism |
| What is an interaction in which the host is harmed? | Parasitism |
| What is an example of mutualism? | Honeybee pollinates a flower while gathering nectar |
| What is an example of competition? | Crow and seagull try to snatch food from each other |
| What is an example of commensalism? | Barnacles attach to a whale in the ocean |
| What factor is most likely to limit population growth in cloud forests? | Lack of moisture and excessive sunlight |
| What factor is most likely to limit population growth of a coral reef in the Caribbean? | Extreme temperature and cloudy waters |
| What factor is most likely to limit population growth in the Atacama desert? | High temperature and low precipitation |
| What is an example of a an abiotic infectious agent? | Virus |
| A scientist is designing an investigation to study the impact of predatory trout on the population of the mountain yellow-legged frog in a recreational nature park. What is most likely the test variable (independent variable) for the study? | Trout population |
| A scientist is designing an investigation to study the impact of fungal disease on the population of mountain yellow-legged frog in a recreational nature park. What is most likely the outcome variable (dependent variable) for the study? | Frog population |
| A scientist is designing an investigation to study the impact of UV radiation present in high-altitude habitats on the population of mountain yellow-legged frog. What type population is most likely to be a control group for the study? | Frogs in high altitude habitat |
| What is purposefully changed during a scientific investigation? | Independent variable (test variable) |
| What is measured during a scientific investigation? | Dependent variable (Outcome variable) |
| What serves as a reference for comparison during a scientific investigation? | Control Group |
| What physical evidence supports the evolution of Earth due to deposition? | Streaks on the face of Wave Rock |
| What physical evidence supports the evolution of Earth due to chemical weathering? | Red color of Bryce Canyon rocks |
| What physical feature is evidence that supports the evolution of Earth due to volcanic eruptions? | Hawaiian Islands |
| While visiting Wave Rock in Australia, you observe streaks of minerals present on the landform. What natural process most likely caused the streaking? | Deposition |
| While visiting Thor's Hammer in Bryce Canyon National park, you observe red coloring on the landform. What natural process most likely caused the red coloring? | Chemical Weathering |
| While visiting the Grand Canyon, you observe the exposed layers of rock on the valley. What natural process most likely caused the valley to form? | Erosion |
| A scientist studied four rock fossils that show evolution of the modern-day horse dating back to 35 million years, 15 million years, 8 million years, and 1 million years ago. Which rock fossil is most similar to the modern-day horse? | 1 million years |
| The leopard uses its specialized coloration to hide in the tree while stalking its prey. Which type of adaptation does this describe? | Camouflage |
| The eyed hawkmoth displays eyespots on its wings when it feels threatened. Which type of adaptation does this describe? | Warning Coloration |
| The viceroy butterfly is not poisonous but has coloration that is almost identical to the poisonous monarch butterfly. Which type of adaptation does this describe? | Mimicry |
| A scientist is designing an investigation to study which color of peppered moth would have a higher survival rate in his neighborhood. What is most likely the test variable (independent variable) in this investigation? | Colors of peppered moths |
| A scientist is designing an investigation to study the impact of the neck length of tortoises on survival rates in the Galapagos islands. What is most likely the outcome variable (dependent variable) in this investigation? | Survival rate |
| What have we learned from fossil evidence about evolution? | The process is obervable |
| How does the theory of evolution disprove the belief that natural selection prepares an organism to adapt to its environment? | A population changes in response to a change in the environment |
| Which explanation justifies why the theory of evolution is a theory and not a law? | Explains the existence of diverse forms of life on Earth |
