APES Unit 1 Review

Which symbiosis is exemplified by bees consuming nectar and carrying pollen from one flower to another?

Which symbiosis is exemplified by moss growing on a tree trunk in a forest?

Which symbiosis is exemplified by starlings displacing bluebirds from nesting sites?

Which symbiosis is exemplified by ticks feeding on a deer?

Two bird species coexist by feeding on the same type of insects in different parts of a tree. One bird species hunts insects near the top of the tree. The other bird species hunts insects near the base of the tree. Which of the following concepts is demonstrated between the two bird species?

NGSS.MS-LS2-2

This biome contains plants that are adapted to prevent water loss due to the low average rainfall and high temperatures year-round.

NGSS.MS-LS2-1

This biome has the highest net primary productivity, in part because of consistently warm temperatures and abundant sunlight.

NGSS.MS-LS2-3

The underlying subsoil of this biome is permafrost, which prevents both water draining through and deep-rooted plants from growing. Additionally, there is very little precipitation per year.

NGSS.MS-LS2-1

The thick forest of this biome tends to be well adapted to short growing seasons.

NGSS.MS-LS1-5

In Mediterranean climate regions like portions of California, a wetter-than-normal winter often leads to greater severity of fires the following summer. This seeming paradox occurs because increased rain leads to

• greater accumulation of chapparal biomass

• greater recreational use of parklands

• greater erosion and damage of access roads

• decreased summer rainfall
