Antworten
  • Temperature
  • Humidity of air
  • Concentration of CO2
  • Light
  • Acidity of soil

Antworten
  • NH4(+)
  • PO4(3-)
  • NO3(-)
  • Mg(2+)

Frage 10

Antworten
  • Suspending plants in water with a perfect balance of mineral ions
  • Raising internal temperature through glass or plastic roofs
  • Using computers to control light intensity, CO2 concentration and temperature

Frage 12

Frage

Antworten
  • It makes them larger
  • It does not affect them
  • It makes them smaller

Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 15

Frage
True or false? Mosquitoes are adapted to finding human prey as they are attracted to high carbon dioxide levels caused by exhalation.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 16

Frage
What is a quadrat?
Antworten
  • A square grid used for measuring the distribution of organisms
  • A small mammal that is usually found near motorbike racing courses
  • One of the four regions in a Cartesian grid

Frage 17

Frage
Which of these methods would be a scientific way of choosing a random sample for a quadrat?
Antworten
  • Throwing a quadrat randomly anywhere
  • Dividing the region into four sections and then choosing an equal random sample from each
  • Dividing the region into squares of the same size as the quadrat and using a random number generator
  • Walking ten paces and throwing the quadrat in front of you

Frage 18

Frage
Which of these steps would you not do if you were carrying out a line transect?
Antworten
  • Measure a line between two points
  • Take readings of physical factors at each measurement
  • Use a random number generator to decide where to measure
  • Measure at regular intervals

Frage 19

Frage
How would you find out the mean of a sample?
Antworten
  • Subtract the lowest value from the highest
  • Take the middle answer when in ascending order
  • Take the most common answer
  • Divide the sum of all the readings by the number of readings

Frage 20

Frage

Antworten
  • True
  • False
