energy flow and matter cycling
1every ecosystem carries out the basic processes of:
energy flow and matter cycling
photosynthesis and nitrification
solar energy capture and re-radiation
evaporation and precipitation
2 the biological role played by a species in its environment is called a:
ecosystem
habitat
niche
population
3 predators rarely kill and eat all available prey because:
predator and prey species often occupy the same trophic level in an ecosystem
prey species often lack protective mechanisms to deter being eaten
many predator and prey species have a commensalistic relationship
predator species often will switch its prey as one prey species becomes less abundant
4 is an overabundance of nutrients that leads to excessive plant growth and
reduction of oxygen in an ecosystem.
denitrification
eutrophication
nitrification
phosphorylation
5 which of these biomes receives the greatest amount of yearly rainfall?
boreal forest
grasslands
temperate forests
tropical forests
6 an organism's position within a food web is known as its:
ecosystem
habitat
niche
trophic level
7 which of the following describes organisms in a pelagic zone?
plankton floating near the ocean surface
bottom-dwellers on the ocean floor
barnacles glued to stone in an intertidal zone
frogs in a pond close to the pond's edge
8 which of the following is not an example of secondary succession?
farmland is abandoned
a forest is clear cut
a lava flow covers the landscape
a wildfire burns away the vegetation on a hillside
9 in a lake, the epilimnion is the:
environment found close to shore in a lake
environment found at the lake bed
lower, colder layer
upper surface layer

Taq polymerase is an enzyme isolated from the organism thermophilus aquaticus. this organism has been found living in the hot springs of yellowstone national park. this enzyme is used to copy human dna from crime scenes. most reactions are performed at ranges similar to those of the human body; however, what considerations should be made for optimum use of this enzyme? view available hint(s)taq polymerase is an enzyme isolated from the organism thermophilus aquaticus. this organism has been found living in the hot springs of yellowstone national park. this enzyme is used to copy human dna from crime scenes. most reactions are performed at ranges similar to those of the human body; however, what considerations should be made for optimum use of this enzyme? the enzyme will not work on human dna.nothing should be altered.the ph should be decreased.the temperature should be raised.
