8F, G, and H Review

What defines a primary succession event?

• Occurs in areas without soil, starts with pioneer species like lichens and mosses
• Occurs in areas with established soil and vegetation
• Primary succession is reversible and can be undone by human intervention
• Begins with large trees and shrubs as pioneer species

What defines secondary succession?

• Occurs in an area where the existing community remains intact and undisturbed
• Involves the development of a community in an area that was previously barren
• Occurs in an area where an existing community has been partially or completely destroyed
• Occurs in an area where a new community is established without any previous disturbance

How does climate change cause the transformation of a biome?

• Biomes are static and cannot be affected by climate change
• Climate change alters environmental factors, leading to shifts in vegetation, wildlife populations, and ecosystem structure.
• Climate change has no impact on biomes
• Climate change only affects individual species within a biome

• 15

• 35

• 89

• 70

When a secondary succession event occurs, which of the following is most likely to be the pioneer species found in the area?

• Oak Trees

• Pine Trees

• Blueberry bushes

What does the graph tell you about the relationship between predator and prey?

• The graph suggests that prey populations are not affected by predators.
• The graph indicates that predators have no impact on prey populations.
• The graph shows a linear relationship between predator and prey populations.
• The graph illustrates the cyclical nature of predator-prey relationships, where changes in one population directly impact the other.
