A. Mushroom
B. Grass
C. Lion
D. Snake
Answer: Mushrooms are saprophytic fungi that decompose dead organic matter.
A. Produce oxygen
B. Recycle nutrients back into the soil
C. Provide food for autotrophs
D. Control photosynthesis
Answer: Decomposers break down dead matter and recycle nutrients into the soil.
A. Reduces the number of species
B. Increases the number of ecosystems
C. Enables species to adapt to environmental changes
D. Stops evolution
Answer: Genetic diversity provides the variation needed for species to adapt to environmental changes.
A. Genetic diversity
B. Ecosystem diversity
C. Population size
D. Species richness
Answer: Species richness is the total number of different species in an area.
A. Are found only in a particular region
B. Are found all over the world
C. Have become extinct
D. Are introduced by humans
Answer: Endemic species are found only in one particular geographic region.
A. Establishing national parks
B. Deforestation
C. Planting trees
D. Creating seed banks
Answer: Deforestation destroys habitats and is a major threat to biodiversity.
A. Protected areas
B. Conservation laws
C. Habitat loss
D. Captive breeding
Answer: Habitat loss directly causes population decline and extinction of species.
A. Providing more food
B. Increasing biodiversity
C. Creating new habitats
D. Outcompeting native species
Answer: Invasive species outcompete native species and disturb the balance of ecosystems.
A. Ex situ conservation
B. In situ conservation
C. Natural reserves
D. Habitat protection
Answer: Botanical gardens grow and preserve plants away from their natural habitat, i.e., ex situ conservation.
A. In situ conservation
B. Ex situ conservation
C. Biosphere reserve
D. Wildlife sanctuary
Answer: A zoo keeps animals away from their natural habitat, so it is ex situ conservation.
A. Marine pollution
B. Air quality
C. Trade in endangered species
D. Global warming only
Answer: CITES is a convention that regulates international trade in endangered species.
A. More productive
B. Larger
C. More diverse
D. Less stable
Answer: Loss of biodiversity reduces the stability and productivity of ecosystems.
A. 1,500
B. 100
C. 500
D. 10,000
Answer: A region must have at least 1,500 endemic vascular plant species to qualify as a biodiversity hotspot.
A. Zoo
B. National park
C. Seed bank
D. Botanical garden
Answer: National parks conserve species in their natural habitat, so they are in situ, not ex situ.
A. Ex situ conservation
B. Captive breeding
C. In situ conservation
D. Gene banks
Answer: Biosphere reserves and wildlife sanctuaries protect species in their natural habitat (in situ).
A. Protect seeds from wildlife
B. Store animal eggs
C. Store minerals
D. Preserve seeds of plants for future use
Answer: Seed banks preserve the seeds of plant species for future use.
A. Increase the numbers of endangered species
B. Reduce animal populations
C. Introduce new diseases
D. Replace national parks
Answer: Captive breeding helps increase the population of endangered species under human care.
A. Homo sapiens and Canis lupus
B. Panthera leo and Panthera tigris
C. Felis catus and Canis lupus
D. Rosa indica and Mangifera indica
Answer: Lion and tiger are different species of the same genus Panthera.
