According to the graph, how many months did it take for the deer population to reach carrying capacity?  4  8  10  6 CONCEPT Population Ecology 2 Select the food chain that is in the correct order, starting at the first trophic level.  Grass, Goats, Tigers, Maggots  Goats, Tigers, Maggots, Grass  Maggots, Grass, Goats, Tigers  Grass, Maggots, Goats, Tigers CONCEPT Food Chains and Food Webs 3 Choose the statement about carbon cycling that is NOT true.  Animals eat plants and receive carbon as sugars.  Animals release carbon through respiration.  Plants need carbon dioxide in order to make food.  Plants release carbon dioxide into the air. CONCEPT Photosynthesis and the Carbon Cycle 4 Choose the statement that is NOT true about conditions within the given biome.  Taiga biomes exist only in the northern hemisphere.  Temperate forest biomes have four seasons.  Grassland biomes do not have enough precipitation to support many trees.  Tropical rainforests are located near the equator and are hot and humid. CONCEPT Biomes 5 Which of the following is NOT an example of overexploitation?  The passenger pigeon population in America was in the billions before they became extinct.  Ginseng is slow-growing, produces few seeds and is highly sought after for its medicinal properties.  Each time salmon are harvested from a fish farm, new salmon are brought in to replace them.

CONCEPT Overexploitation 6 Select the statement that refers to an exponential population growth model.  This model considers a limited amount of natural resources when examining population growth.  This graph is a more realistic model of population growth.  This model considers carrying capacity when examining population growth.  The slope of the graph in this model is steepest near the top. CONCEPT Population Ecology 7 Choose the statement that is NOT true about energy and trophic levels.  Sunlight provides the energy for primary productivity.  Secondary production introduces no additional energy into the food chain.  Ten is considered the maximum number of trophic levels in an ecosystem.  Photosynthesis converts sunlight into sugars. CONCEPT Food Chains and Food Webs 8 Which of the following is a strategy associated with restoration ecology?  Studying an environm
