♠Biomass is the:

weight of organisms in the entire food chain in a given area

total mass of organisms in an entire food web

♥*total dry mass of the organisms in each level of a food chain

♠The process by which carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere by living organisms is:

respiration

♥*photosynthesis

combustion

♠The scientific name given to the falling of water through the atomosphere as rain, snow, sleet or hail is:

evaporation

condensation

♥*precipitation

♠Transpiration is the:

intake of water to balance water lost through perspiration

♥*loss of water through the leaves of plants

rain water seepage through the soil

♠Organisms in the ecosystem that are responsible for the recycling of plant and animal wastes are:

♥*decomposers

predators

competitors

♠The main gases responsible for the Greenhouse Effect are:

♥*carbon dioxide and methane

oxygen and nitrous oxide

water and ozone

♠The main man-made cause of global warming is probably the result of:

water pollution

♥*factory and car emissions

sewage

♠It is believed that the thinning of the ozone layer is the result of chlorofluorocarbons. These gases have
been used in:

electric heaters and clothes driers

♥*spray cans and refrigerators

cigarette lighters and air-conditioners

♠The main gases that produce acid rain are:

♥*sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides

ozone and oxygen gas

chlorofluorocarbons

♠The release of excessive amounts of harmful substances such as car and factory fumes and tyre rubber
into the atmosphere is called:

noise pollution

mutagenic pollution

♥*air pollution

♠To reduce pollution from cars, the Australian government has legislated that all new cars must use:

♥*unleaded petrol

diesel fuel

leaded petrol

♠When phosphate-containing wastes from detergents and fertilisers reach our waterways, water plants
grow excessively extracting oxygen from the water causing fish to suffocate. This process is called:

phosphatisation

sewage recycling

♥*eutrophication

♠Substances that are easily broken down into harmless substances by decomposers are termed:

environmentally unfriendly

♥*biodegradable

non-biodegradable

♠An example of a species that was introduced to Australia with harmful results is the:

cactoblastis moth
♥*cane toad

potato

♠Instead of using pesticides to eradicate pests, another method using the pest's natural predators or
parasites to control its numbers is frequently used. This environmentallyfriendly method is termed:

♥*biological control

predator release

insecticide management

♠Examples of toxins that biologically magnify or accumulate in organisms are:

heavy metals and carbon dioxide

♥*mercury and DDT

fat and CFC's

♠Examples of fossil fuels are:

uranium and carbonised dinosaur remains

renewable fuels

♥*coal, oil and natural gas

♠Renewable energy alternatives are those that:

♥*are abundant or can be regrown or recycled in a short time period

are environmentally friendly such as coal

never cause pollution nor environmental damage at all

♠Examples of biomass energy alternatives are:

uranium and plutonium

coal, oil and natural gas

♥*timber, methane and alcohol

♠Present disadvantages of using renewable energy alternatives are that they are:

expensive to run and environmentally unfriendly

♥*relatively inefficient and geographically selective

inefficient and polluting
