10 Questions
Match the following components of the environment with their descriptions:
Atmosphere = The gaseous layers that surround the earth Lithosphere = The solid portion of the earth, composed of minerals Hydrosphere = Includes all types of water bodies found on Earth Biosphere = The living component of the environment
Match the following components with their types in the environment:
Abiotic Components = Non-living factors like air, water, soil, and climate Biotic Components = Living organisms like plants, animals, and microorganisms Natural Pollutants = Substances introduced into the environment naturally Anthropogenic Pollutants = Pollutants originating from human activities
Match the following pollutants with their definitions:
Volcanic Eruptions = Natural pollutant introduced into the environment Carbon Dioxide (CO2) = Anthropogenic pollutant from human activities Dust and Soil Particles = Natural pollutant with undesired effects Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) = Anthropogenic pollutant adversely affecting resources
Match the following terms with their meanings:
Environment Conservation = Practice of protecting natural resources at different levels Pollutants = Substances or energy causing undesired effects in the environment Ecological Classification = Division of environment into spheres like atmosphere and biosphere Environment = Social, cultural, and physical conditions surrounding living organisms
Match these ecological spheres with their descriptions:
Atmosphere = Composed of gases like oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide Lithosphere = Solid portion of the earth found on land and oceans Hydrosphere = Includes oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, and ponds on Earth Biosphere = Encompasses all living organisms in the environment
Match the following terms with their definitions:
Ecology = Branch of biology dealing with relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings Ecosystem = Geographical area where plants, animals, and other organisms work together to form a bubble of life Population = Group of individuals of the same species living and interbreeding in a defined geographical area Habitat = Natural environment in which an organism lives or the physical environment that surrounds a species population
Match the following terms with their descriptions:
Community = Group of two or more populations in a particular ecosystem living at a particular time Niche = Role or position that an organism has in its environment Renewable Resources = Resources that can be replenished naturally over time, at a rate equal to or faster than their use Non-Renewable Resources = Resources that exist in limited quantities and cannot be easily replaced once used up
Match the following resource types with examples:
Renewable Resources = Resources that can be replenished naturally over time Non-Renewable Resources = Resources that exist in limited quantities and cannot be easily replaced once used up
Match the following terms with their roles in the environment:
Niche = Role or position that an organism has in its environment Habitat = Natural environment in which an organism lives Community = Group of two or more populations in a particular ecosystem living at a particular time Population = Group of individuals of the same species living and interbreeding in a defined geographical area
Match the following concepts with their categories:
Ecology = Branch of biology dealing with relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings Ecosystem = Geographical area where plants, animals, and other organisms work together to form a bubble of life Population = Group of individuals of the same species living and interbreeding in a defined geographical area Habitat = Natural environment in which an organism lives or the physical environment that surrounds a species population
Learn about the basic concepts in ecology, including the relationships between organisms, ecosystems, populations, and communities. Understand the definitions and interactions within these ecological levels.
