To Truth or not to truth
True/False Loss of biodiversity of flowering plants reduces trade around the world
What is species Biodiversity?
A variety of many species of different plants and animals within an ecosystem
In this chapter we talked about Serena and I visiting somewhere on vacation this summer where was it?
Alaska
Which of the following would be affected by Bees no longer pollinating the flowers: Food Crops failing, Global Temps increasing, a new species being introduced, or lack of diversity
Food Crops failing
The interactions between living and nonliving things in a specific area
Ecosystem
True/False Ecosystems remain unchanged over time.
False. Ecosystems are constantly changing over time
Which type of ecosystem biodiversity would most likely to recover from a natural or human made disaster?
An ecosystem with high biodiversity would most likely recover more often than those with low or average biodiversity
What defines a stable ecosystem?
An ecosystem that retains the same number of species even when a disaster occurs and is constantly changing over time.
Which of the following would be affected if wetlands were no longer filtering water entering the ocean? Streams clogged with sediment, fish dying from polluted water, rivers running upstream instead of downstream, or Oceans now becoming more fresh water and less salt water and killing off species
Fish dying from polluted water
Any event that change the physical structure or composition of an ecosystem
Disturbance
True/False Loss of biodiversity of flowering plants can cause an increase in diversity of pollinating insects
False.
What is a keystone species
an organism that helps define an entire ecosystem

What would happen if tree roots no longer prevented erosion on hills? Many mudslides taking out habitats and homes, Global climate temps may increase due to erosion of hillside, Streams may become clogged with sediment, or changes in ecosystem due to deforestation
Streams may become clogged with sediment
The loss or degredation of natural habitats where animals live is called
Habitat destruction
True/False Loss of biodiversity of flowering plants reduces ocean resources available as food?
False. The flowering plants do not affect the ocean.
What would happen to all shark Prey if the population of sharks began to decrease?
The fish population that was once food would begin to increase.
Giant Pandas eat mostly bamboo. How would deforestation affect the panda population?
Deforestation would mean loss of habitat and reduction in bamboo availability threatening panda survival
Habitat destruction, Introduced species, overharvested species, and Lack of biodiversity in food crops
The division or separation of natural habitats into smaller isolated patches.
Habitat Fragmentation
True/False Ecosystem biodiversity is solely determined by the number of species present, regardless of their ecological roles or interactions within the ecosystem.
False. Ecosystem biodiversity encompasses not only the number of species but also their interactions, ecological roles, genetic diversity within species, and the variety of ecosystems present in a particular area.
When designing technology to solve environmental problems, scientists must define what problems the new technology will solve and how this will outweigh the benefit that the technology may hurt the ecosystem. What is this term called
Trade off
What are three ways in which we must protect diversity in our ecosystem
Recycling and storing nutrients, maintaining water quality, and stabilizing our climate.
Loss of Biodiversity of flowering plants would affect which of the following (Select all that apply): Medicine, Trade, Ocean resources, food
Medicine, trade, food
the gradual change in plant and animal communities over time following a disturbance
