Question 14 Not yet graded / 4 pts Explain the following terms as they relate to the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and transpiration. Your Answer:
Evaporation is when water is changed from a liquid from the ground to gas in the atmosphere. Then, condensation turns that gas back into water. Then, precipitation brings the water from the atmosphere back to the surface. The water infiltrates in to the soil from the rainfall. Which is where transpiration takes place.

Question 27 Not yet graded / 4 pts Explain why no two species can occupy the same niche at the same time. Please answer using complete sentences. Your Answer: The competitive exclusion principle tells us that two species can't have exactly the same niche in a habitat and stably coexist. That's because species with identical niches also have identical needs, which means they would compete for precisely the same resources. Question 28 1 / 1 pts

Question 41 1 / 1 pts The relationship between wolves and moose on Isle Royale depicts the predator-prey relationship. The moose are the main prey for wolves on this isolated island. A food shortage resulting from wolves eating too many moose keeps the wolf population in check. How does this relationship affect these populations? Usually either the predator or prey will become extinct. Correct! The relationship controls the population size of both species. That's correct! The number of moose available for prey keeps the populations of both species from exponential growth. The predators and prey are in competition with each other. The predator species usually has exponential growth. Question 42

1 / 1 pts Suppose there is a population of both light and dark-colored beetles that live in a forest of trees with light-colored trunks. Which of the following results is most likely to occur to the beetle population due to predation over time? Correct! The number of light-colored beetles in the population will increase. That's correct! Since the light- colored beetles will camouflage well with the trees with light- colored trunks, they are less likely to be preyed upon, and their populations will survive and reproduce. There will be more dark-colored beetles than light-colored beetles in the population. The number of light-colored beetles will decrease. The dark-colored beetles will move to a different type of tree.

Your Answer: The populations of predator and prey affect each other through a complex interaction often referred to as the predator-prey cycle. When the population of prey increases, the population of predators also increases due to the abundance of food. However, as the predator population grows, the prey population decreases because of increased predation. This, in turn, leads to a decrease in the predator population due to a lack of food. Eventually, the prey population starts to increase again due to reduced predation, and the cycle continues. Question 51 1 / 1 pts Phytoplankton are primary producers in the marine environment.
