Question 5
Scientists wanted to study a particular aspect of Toyota Prius Hybrids.
In Study 1, each Toyota Prius received a full tank of unleaded gasoline. The car then drove 100 miles on the highway at 55 mph. The amount of remaining gasoline was measured.
In Study 2, the experiment was repeated, but the cars were given premium gasoline instead of unleaded. The amount of remaining gasoline was measured.
What were the scientists studying in this experiment?

a
the decreased impact on atmospheric pollutants using a hybrid car (the Toyota Prius) vs a regular combustion engine car
b
the impact of different types of gas on the mileage of the Toyota Prius
c
the impact on the environment of the different types of gas when used in the Toyota Prius
d
the amount of carbon dioxide produced by the Toyota Prius
Question 6
Can one individual person have an impact on their environment?
a
Yes, because everything impacts an environment, no matter how small.
b
No, because only groups of people make an impact on an environment.
c
Yes, because each environment centers around an individual person.
d
No, because only plants and animals make an impact on an environment.
Question 7
What would exhibit primary succession?
a
newly flooded land after a storm
b
a rock exposed by a retreating glacier
c
a clear-cut forest used to make paper
d
an abandoned farm after a fire
Question 8
After a long drought, an area experiences a series of heavy storms. Once dry streambeds are now overflowing with water, flooding the surrounding lands. Which argument predicts how the storms will affect populations of nearby plants?
Heavy Rain in Namibia and South Africa
a
The storms will cause only the populations of wetland plants to disappear.
b
The storms will cause populations of desert plants to increase and wetland plants to increase.
c
The storms will cause only the populations of desert plants to increase.
d
The storms will cause populations of desert plants to decrease and wetland plants to increase.
Question 9
Which statement BEST describes how human activities can directly change the dynamic equilibrium of an ecosystem?

d
Farmers begin using compost instead of nitrogen fertilizers to boost crop yields.
Question 10
Native plants, those that have grown in a particular area since before human settlement, provide food and habitat for native wildlife. Fewer native plants due to extreme drought has led to decreasing populations of wildlife. The change in these populations would be due to a/an________.
