A. B. C. D. E. F. 2.: Quiz # 1 Ecology

This document contains instructions for a quiz on ecology concepts. The quiz contains 4 questions asking students to analyze graphs of population growth over time, identify regions indicating maximum and minimum growth and population size, explain what a line on one graph represents, compare mortality rates between species based on different growth curves, and explain why the biomass pyramid is often inverted in aquatic ecosystems. Students are instructed to answer the questions on half a sheet of crosswise paper.
