Grasshoppers can be found in a forest that has green grass. Grasshoppers can either have green or yellow body colors.
What is the variation between the grasshoppers?
Variation means the difference in traits.
The variation is the body color (some grasshoppers have green bodies and others have yellow bodies)

Algae->zooplankton->small fish-> large fish->birds.
Mercury (a pollutant) is passed through this food chain. Which organism is the first to absorb pollutants?
algae
200
Name two herbivores from this food web
Either of the following answers are acceptable:
field mouse, rabbit, or grasshopper
300
Which best describes natural selection?
A. Humans choose specific characteristics that they would want to see in organisms
B. Advantageous traits are inherited and passed on to offspring
C. Organisms adapt to their environment by acquiring traits
D. Mutations are caused when there are changes in the environment. This helps organisms to survive better in their environment.
B. Advantageous traits are inherited and passed on to offspring
Answer C is incorrect because organisms cannot change their traits to suit the environment

Barnacles live on the skin of the whale. The whale is unaware that the barnacles are there, but the barnacles get free transportation. What is the relationship between the whales and the barnacles?
commensalism

Grasshoppers can be found in a forest that has green grass. Grasshoppers can either have green or yellow body colors.
What would you expect to see in the grasshopper population after 5 generations if continuous, severe droughts occur?
A. There will be more green grasshoppers because they are able to camouflage in the green grass.
B. There will be more yellow grasshoppers because there are more predators of the green grasshopper.
C. There will be an equal number of yellow and green grasshoppers.
D. More yellow grasshoppers will be born because it is the better adaptation against the dry, yellow grass.
Severe droughts would cause the grass to become dry, unhealthy, and yellow instead of green.
D. More yellow grasshoppers will be born because it is the better adaptation against the dry, yellow grass.

Name at least two processes where organisms release carbon back into the atmosphere and/or causes carbon to stay in the atmosphere.
1. Cellular respiration
2. Cutting down trees
3. Burning fossil fuels
400
What organisms help to reduce the amount of atmospheric carbon levels?
Producers
because they take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to complete photosynthesis
(Other acceptable answers: autotrophs, plants, or examples of plants)

500
Define adaptation.
An inherited trait that helps organisms to survive

Describe one reason why photosynthesis and cellular respiration are opposite processes.
1) Photosynthesis takes IN energy to make food while cellular respiration breaks down food to take energy OUT.
OR
2) The reactants of cellular respiration and the products of photosynthesis and vice versa.

phytoplankton->small fish-> large fish->birds.
Mercury is passed through this food chain. Which organisms would be safer for humans to eat: a small fish or large fish? Explain your answer.
Small fish because they don't have as much mercury in their bodies since they are lower on the food chain.
