C. Short Answer/Essay:
Ecosystem:
1. Describe the characteristics and importance of a coral reef ecosystem.
Biodiversity:
6. Explain the concept of species extinction and its implications for biodiversity.
Climate Change:
13. Discuss the potential consequences of climate change on ecosystems and human societies.
Waste Management:
21. Describe three strategies or solutions for reducing waste and its environmental impact.
Renewable Energy:
26. Compare and contrast solar energy and wind energy as renewable energy sources.
Global Warming:
31. Describe the role of greenhouse gases in the Earth's temperature regulation and the enhanced greenhouse effect.
Answer key:
1. (Sample answer) Coral reefs are marine ecosystems composed of diverse coral species, fish, and other marine organisms. They are important as they provide habitat, protect coastlines from erosion, and support tourism.
6. (Sample answer) Species extinction refers to the permanent loss of a species from the Earth. It is a concern for biodiversity as it disrupts the balance of ecosystems and can lead to the loss of valuable genetic resources and ecosystem services.
13. (Sample answer) Climate change can result in rising sea levels, increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, disruption of ecosystem dynamics, and impacts on agriculture and water availability.
21. (Sample answer) Strategies for reducing waste include recycling, composting, and waste reduction campaigns. Recycling helps conserve resources, composting reduces organic waste sent to landfills, and waste reduction campaigns aim to minimize waste generation.
26. (Sample answer) Solar energy harnesses sunlight to generate electricity, while wind energy utilizes wind power to turn turbines and produce electricity. Both are renewable energy sources, but solar energy is more reliable and can be harnessed in various locations, while wind energy is dependent on wind availability.
31. (Sample answer) Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat in the atmosphere and regulate the Earth's temperature. The enhanced greenhouse effect, largely due to human activities, leads to an increase in these gases, resulting in global warming and climate change.
