Yes! You got them all! Very nice... 😀
Thank you...

Had to look up a few. LOL!

Just for more fun, these may be more challenging! 😀

5 T on a F =
90 D in a R A =
3 B M (S H T R) =
32 is the T in D F at which W F =
15 P in a R T =
3 W on a T =

5 T on a F = 5 toes on a foot

90 D in a R A = 90 degrees on a right angle

3 B M (S H T R) = 3 blind mice, see how they run

32 is the T in D F at which W F = 32 is the temp. at fahrenheit at which water freezes

15 P in a R T = 13 players on a rugby team

3 W on a T =3 wheels on a tricycle

I didn't know any of them. I had to look them all up.

No problem; great job! These were toughies, indeed but you got 'em all! 😀
Congratulations...

Is anyone interested in more Ecology? 🙂
Please enjoy!

1. What is biodiversity?

2. How does biological diversity relate to the characteristics of the abiotic factors ( light, moisture, mineral salts, heat and carbon dioxide)?

3. How does the vegetal stratification of an ecosystem influence its biological diversity?

4. Despite having a large amount of biodiversity, why is the Amazon Rainforest facing the risk of desertification?

5. How can a large amount of biological diversity protect an ecosystem from environmental damage? Why are less biodiverse ecosystems at risk of suffering serious biological harm if subject to even small changes?

6. Is monoculture a system that contributes to the biological diversity of an ecosystem?

7. What are some economic applications that can be generated by very biodiverse ecosystems?

8. What are the main causes of the loss of biological diversity nowadays?

1. Biodiversity is the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem.

2. The availability of abiotic factors like light, moisture, mineral salts, heat and carbon dioxide, more or less conditions the biodiversity of an ecosystem. Photosynthesis depends on water and light, and plants also need mineral salts, carbon dioxide and adequate temperature for their cells to work. In environments where these factors are not restrictive the synthesis of organic material (by photosynthesis) is at a maximum, plants and algae can reproduce easier, the population of these beings increase, potential ecological niches multiply and new species emerge. The large mass of producers makes viable the appearing of a diversity of consumers of several orders. In environments with restrictive abiotic factors, like deserts, the producers exist in small numbers and less diversity, a feature that thus extends to consumers and conditions fewer ecological niches to be explored.

3.The vegetal stratification of an ecosystem, like the strata of the Amazon Rainforest, creates vertical layers with peculiar abiotic and biotic factors, dividing the ecosystem into several different environments. Therefore in the superior layer near the crowns of big trees the exposition to light, rain and wind is greater but moisture is lower compared to the inferior layers. As one goes down the strata the penetration of light diminishes and moisture increases. Regarding the biotic factors, communities of each stratum presenting different composition and features, food habits, reproduction strategies, etc. Such variations in the abiotic and biotic factors make the selective pressure upon living beings to be also diversified, there are more ecological niches to be explored and more varied beings emerge during the evolutionary process.

4. The natural soil of the Amazon Rainforest is not very fertile but it is enriched by the vegetal covering made of leaves and branches that fall from the trees. Deforestation reduces this enrichment. In deforestation zones, the rain falls directly on the ground causing erosion, “washing” away large areas (leaching) and contributing to making the soil even less fertile. In addition to that, deforestation prevents the recycling of essential nutrients for plants, such as nitrogen. In this manner, those regions and their neighboring regions undergo desertification.

5. In ecosystems with more biodiversity, the food webs and ecological interactions among living organisms are more complex and diverse. In these ecosystems, environmental changes can be more easily compensated for the large amount of available resources, food and survival options.

In ecosystems with less biodiversity, individuals are more dependent on certain organisms that serve as food and interact with a small number of different species. In these ecosystems, abiotic factors are generally restrictive and species are more specialized for such conditions and, as result, more sensitive to environmental changes. Therefore, even small-scale environmental damage can cause big disturbances in the equilibrium of the ecosystem.

6.Monoculture is when a single crop (only one species of plant) is cultivated over a large area. Therefore, monoculture does not contribute to the formation of a community with a large variety of species in the area. Since there is only a single type of producer, the types of consumers that can live in the area are also restricted.

7.Very biodiverse areas present enormous economic potential. They can be a source of raw material for the research and production of medicines, cosmetics, chemical products and food. They are depositories of genetic wealth that can be explored by biotechnology. They are sources of species for agriculture. They can also be explored by ecological tourism.

8.The biggest dangers to biological diversity today are the action of humans. The main one of them is the destruction of habitats, caused by the growth of the cities, deforestation, pollution and fires. The second is the invasion of ecosystems by non-native species introduced by humans; these species change the equilibrium of ecosystems, causing harm. Other big dangers are predatory hunting and fishing and global warming.

Ms. Swan, sorry for all the copying and pasting. I found the website that has these questions and answers. It is an awesome website. Because I copied it all, mom is putting all these questions on my test. :$)

Hi JJ, all of your answers are correct. I want to commend you on perfecting your research abilities, because in today's technical/ scientific world, the ability to search for answers to questions is imperative. Keep up the great work! The knowledge is 'out there' - one merely has to find it - and finding it requires the ability to research.

I'd like to share this site with everyone. It's wonderful!
http://www.biology-questions-and-answers.com/symbiosis.html

I selected this particular site to present on Science anyone? because of the wealth of knowledge it provides covering a host of science topics including, but not limited to Chemistry, Ecology, Biology, Evolution, Cell Biology and more. With each are subcategories. The information is vast and almost endless: we barely scratched the surface of Ecology. I hope everyone explores all of the categories; they are filled with facts and a joy to read.

Ms. Swan

Thank you!
