Question #3... Bees visit flowering plants, collecting nectar to
make honey. While collecting
nectar, the bees help spread the plants' pollen, helping the
plants reproduce.
Which of the following best describes how a decrease in bees
may affect the stability of organisms in an environment?

would decrease, causing
populations
of secondary consumers to
increase.
C
Populations of producers would
decrease, causing populations
of nearly
all organisms to decrease.
B
D
Populations of producers would
increase, causing populations of
nearly
all organisms to increase.
Populations of primary consumers
would increase, causing
populations of
secondary consumers to
decrease.

Question #4…: Hummingbirds drink nectar from flowers. The
nectar provides hummingbirds with energy, while the
hummingbirds help spread the flowers' pollen as they fly
around from flower to flower.

between hummingbirds and
flowers?

A
C
parasitism
mutualism
B
commensalism
D
predation

Question #5... Tapeworms live in the digestive tracts of
various mammals, including humans. The
worms obtain nutrients and other materials from the
mammals in which they live,while the mammals may

Question #6. . . The Serengeti is an African ecosystem. Each
year, herbivores in the Serengeti follow the rains in one of the
world's largest migrations. They all gather around different
watering holes along the way, trying to get enough water so
they do not die from dehydration.

commensalism
B
C
mutualism

three Caribbean islands and the approximate number of reptile
and amphibian species found on each island.
Which of the following best explains the trend in the table?
50/50
A
Speciation does not occur on
smaller islands because the
islands are
unaffected by natural selection.
C
More space and resources
allow for the development
of multiple habitats
to support biodiversity.
B
D
Larger islands have warmer
climates and year-round growing
seasons.
None of Smaller islands have
species that form more
symbiotic relationships.these

death rates decrease, the
population will
increase in size

death rates increase, the
population will
decrease in size.
