Describe the roles of organisms in ecosystems and how populations, communities, and ecosystems change over time.
Biodiversity Worksheet – 10 points
Step 1: Review the concepts of evolution presented here.
1
The Process of Evolution
1. Environmental pressure 2. Genetic variability
3. Successful reproduction
Microevolution - Genetic changes within isolated populations occur in a short period of time (example left).
Macroevolution - Speciation and other major evolutionary innovations evolve more slowly over time (example below).
Artificial selection example:
Desirable traits from this wild Brassica ancestor were selected by farmers, gardeners, and plant breeders to enhance the diversity of these genetically related vegetable crops over time.
Step 2: Plant breeding in agriculture is a good example of evolution in action. Research a specific example of plant breeding online and explore its evolution (e.g. choose a specific type of
plant that humans have bred). How is that plant population evolving? Describe the environmental pressure, genetic variability, and successful reproduction involved in the evolution of the example you find
. Copy and paste at least two
websites you used to research your example, and type your explanation here. 2 points.
An example of plant breeding evolution can be seen in the development of modern tomatoes from their wild ancestors. The domesticated tomato, has been selectively bred for traits such as size, taste, and resistance to diseases. The primary environmental pressures in this case are the demands for higher yield and improved fruit quality. Genetic variability is introduced by crossbreeding domesticated tomatoes with their wild relatives, like “
Solanum pimpinellifolium
,” which adds valuable alleles for desirable traits. Successful reproduction of plants with these traits
ensures that the favorable genes are passed on, driving the evolution of the tomato population towards these human-desired characteristics (

to learn more about the biodiversity of the underwater world. Answer the following questions related to the video
. Type your responses here.
●
In what two major ways are living things affected by temperature in the world’s oceans? Explain. 1 point.
Temperature affects metabolic rates in marine organisms, influencing their growth, reproduction,
and survival rates. Additionally, temperature changes can cause shifts in species distributions as organisms move to areas with optimal temperatures to maintain their physiological functions.
●
List three new technologies currently used to monitor, measure, and track life in ocean ecosystems and contribute to the Ocean Biogeographic Information System. 1 point.
Three advanced technologies used to monitor ocean life include acoustic sensing, tagging, and DNA barcoding.
●
Select one of these technologies and explain how it informs how populations, communities, and/or ecosystems change over time. 1 point.
Acoustic sensing uses sound waves to monitor the presence and movement of marine species, providing data on their behavior and distribution over time.

Often overlooked in general discussions of terrestrial communities are the organisms that
live below ground. Soil communities can include various microbes such as archaea, bacteria,
fungi, algae, and protozoa, as well as a variety of microinvertebrates including springtails, mites,
nematodes, and earthworms. These organisms provide several ecological functions including
decomposing organic matter, fixing atmospheric nitrogen, and enriching the physical and
chemical conditions of soil.
used.
Pine forests tend to have a closed canopy of one or more pine species and relatively little
undergrowth. They benefit the most from well-drained sandy soils that are slightly acidic.
Common among the pines in the SE United States are loblolly pine and slash pine. The tough
pine needles that fall under the trees decompose very slowly and produce a thick mat, both of
which contribute to the reduced…

A damselfish has a compressed body shape, making the fish appear flat.
The fish swims forward, causing an action force by the fish on the water. How does the damselfish's body shape affect the strength of the rea
swims forward?
O The body shape causes the reaction force from the water to affect only the tail fin which is a larger area on the fish.
O The body shape causes the reaction force from the water to affect the head which is a smaller area on the fish.
O The body shape causes the reaction force from the water to decrease when the fish swims deeper into the water.
O The body shape causes the reaction force from the water to increase as water flows around the fish's body.
