(24 points max with bonus) 1. Which of the following formulas correctly summarizes photosynthesis? a. 6H20 + solar energy! C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6CO2 b. CH4 + NO2 + THE FORCE! CN2 + H40 c. CH4 + H40 + solar energy! CN2 + NO2 d. 6CO2 + 6H20 + solar energy! C6H12O6 + 6O2 e. 6H20 + C6H12O6 + solar energy! 6H20 + 6CO2 2. Whether a land area support a deciduous forest or grassland depends primarily on a. latitude north or south of the equator b. decrease in temperature during the winter c. changes in length of the growing season d. consistency of rainfall from year to year and the effect that it has on fires e. none of the above For the next question, refer to the locations marked by letters in the world map below: 3. The locations marked (6) are known as a. tropical rain forests b. grasslands c. taiga (boreal/coniferous forest) d. deciduous forest e. tundra 4. The locations marked (5) are known as a. tropical rain forests b. grasslands c. taiga (boreal/coniferous forest) d. deciduous forest e. tundra
2 5. Which of the following statements is FALSE? CHOOSE RESPONSE AND EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER IN ONE SENTENCE. (2 POINTS) a. Natural selection is the passing down of unfavorable traits so that a species may survive and adapt. b. When environmental conditions are changing rapidly, a generalist is usually better off than a specialist. c. The fundamental niche of a species is the full range of physical, chemical, and biological factors it could use if there was no competition. d. Generalist species live in a broad niche whereas specialists live in narrow niches. 6. As one travels from the tropical rain forests near the equator to the frozen tundra, one passes through a variety of environments including deserts, temperate and deciduous forests, etc. The primary reason for the change in vegetation is due to a. evolution b. succession c. the hours of sunlight reaching a particular region d. changes in temperature and amount of rainfall e. the amount of relative cloud cover and ocean currents 7.

(give me the names!). 1.5 points. 2. In bullet point format, give me three characteristics of each of the three biomes such as flora (producers), fauna (consumers), soil type, climate, etc. In other words, tell me three important characteristics about the biomes in each of the three research regions. BE SPECIFIC. Write clearly! MUST GIVE 3 CHARACTERISITCS TO RECEIVE FULL CREDIT. (4.5 points) Example of how your answer could look on your paper: FRQ 1. Biome 1 = Biome 4 = Biome 6 = 2.
