There have been two excellent seasons of rain after a fifteen-year period of below average rainfall. Rabbits cost $200 million per year in lost productivity and various control measures. a. Explain fully two reasons for the enormous rise in rabbit numbers triggered by the high rainfall. Rabbits are controlled by various methods such as 1080, a poison used to bait carrots which, when eaten, are deadly, or biological control methods such as myxomatosis virus or calicivirus. b.

12 Question 3 Honey bees live in a hive and the colony is controlled by the queen bee. The queen bee produces eggs which if fertilised become female bees and if not fertilised become male workers. The queen produces different secretions which act as instructions for the rest of the colony. At some time royal honey is produced by the queen and this triggers the development of females into queens. Worker bees collect pollen from flowers. They are particularly attracted to blue flower. Scout bees search for new food sources and when discovered, they return to the hive and via a dance, indicate the direction of and distance to the new food source. a. Identify the forms of communication indicated by i. royal honey ii. iii. the dance blue flowers = 3 marks b. With respect to the hive, suggest a reason for each of the following. i. why royal honey would not be produced by the queen. ii. why royal honey would be produced by the queen = c. Ants also have scouts. These ants leave a trail from the food to the colony. Describe a method which could be used to control ants, based on this information. d. Define innate behaviour and give an example. Total 9 marks 12 TEVBIOU2_QA_2012.FM Copyright 2012 Neap
13 Question 4 In Melbourne suburban gardens, there are two common types of possum, ringtails and brushtails. There are 27 species of possum, Australia-wide, many of which are also found throughout Victoria. The table below summarises information on two common types of possum. Type of possum Range (backyards) Diet ringtail 2 3 brushtail 4 5 plants high in sugar, exotic plants such as roses, indigenous flowering plants plants, also vegetables, fungi, garbage, insects and larvae Possum breeding occurs mainly in autumn but also in spring. Babies remain in their mothers pouch for about five months, then ride on their back for another two months. One, two or three offspring are produced with each litter. Nests are made in dense foliage trees or in specially provided nesting boxes in trees but also in roofs. Brushtails in roofs can be trapped in approved cages and either relocated up to 50 metres on the same property or killed by vets. All other species are fully protected which includes the ringtails. Many native plants produce chemicals which deter them being consumed ( antifeedants ). Exotic plants, those grown in poor conditions or ones which are diseased do not produce the antifeedants or in very small amounts. a. Explain why both types of possums can co-exist in the one backyard. b. Define the term niche and support your answer with reference to the ringtail possum. c. Choose a suitable example and describe how the activities of one species of possum can affect the other species. Copyright 2012 Neap TEVBIOU2_QA_2012.FM 13
14 d. Competition exists between and within species. Describe intra-specific competition for the brushtail and give an example. e. Name one biotic and one abiotic factor which could determine whether possums have one or two litters in a year. Total 9 marks Question 5 The table below shows the types of litter removed from Victorian creeks and waterways by Clean Up Australia in Item found % polystyrene 4.0 glass 15.5 wood 2.5 plastic 41.0 rubber 1.0 paper 11.0 metal 15.5 other including cigarette butts 9.5 a. Plastics contribute the greatest proportion of litter in the water ways. Give two suggestions which could be used to reduce the amount of plastic produced. b. For one of the items listed above, describe an ecological effect it may have. Total 3 marks 14 TEVBIOU2_QA_2012.FM Copyright 2012 Neap
15 Question 6 In 2011 scientists put forward the idea that about 1000 years ago Port Phillip Bay was cut off from Bass Strait and had shrunk to a comparatively small lake. It is thought that the entrance at Point Nepean was closed up by the development of mud islands, barriers, sand dunes and beaches, preventing the sea entering. The water evaporated creating dry ground and the lake named Lake Phillip. It is thought that this lake was about 20 metres below the present level of the bay. Local Aboriginal legend tells of the Bay filling due to catastrophic ocean flooding. It is possible the barrier, separating the ocean and Bay area, could have been rapidly eroded leading to the flooding in of the ocean and the filling of the Bay as it is today, in a matter of days, supporting the Aboriginal legend. Geelong Werribee River Yarra River Queenscliff Current outline of Port Phillip Bay Bass Strait Point Nepean Lake Phillip a. What are two possible events which could have led to the removal of the barrier? b. How would the Aboriginal legend be passed down to the present day? c. i. Define succession. _ ii. _ Give an example of succession = 3 marks Total 6 marks Copyright 2012 Neap TEVBIOU2_QA_2012.FM 15
16 Question 7 CERES, the Centre for Education and Research in Environmental Strategies, is built on a 4 hectares site near the Merri Creek, North of Melbourne. The site, previously used to store household and industrial waste, was rehabilitated and developed into community gardens. Tests revealed in December 2011 that the levels of some heavy metals in lettuce grown on the site exceeded the Australian Standard by 50%. a. Name a heavy metal which could cause this contamination. b. Explain why some metals and toxic chemicals can accumulate through food chains. c. What is the biological term which describes the increase of these substances through a food chain? Total 4 marks 16 TEVBIOU2_QA_2012.FM Copyright 2012 Neap
17 Question 8 The Carbon Tax was introduced on 1 July About 500 Companies now pay $23 per tonne of carbon based gas produced. The Government s aim is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 to 5% less than the 2000 levels. a. Name a carbon based gas which contributes to the greenhouse effect. b. Explain the greenhouse effect. c. Name an alternative to fossil fuels which can be used as an energy source to produce electricity which does not produce greenhouse gases. d. Explain why planting trees, used for construction, would reduce the greenhouse effect. Total 6 marks END OF QUESTION AND ANSWER BOOKLET Copyright 2012 Neap TEVBIOU2_QA_2012.FM 17
