13 REVIEW: Final Exam Essays Instructions: Write a response to each question that follows. Be sure to address all parts of the question and answer in complete sentence/paragraph format. 1. (a) (b) (c) (d) Support Dr. Tate s assertion that the leaf litter is critical to the survival of local species of forest plants. Include in your discussion the roles of leaf litter in a deciduous forest ecosystem. Describe THREE abiotic changes that would be likely to result if the exotic worms consumed all the leaf litter in a single year. For one of the changes you identified in part (b), explain how the change could set the stage for the takeover of Japanese stilt grass or other exotic species. Design a controlled experiment to determine whether the worms, in fact, do change the forest ecosystem. Identify the environmental factor you will measure, and include the specific hypothesis you will test and the data you will collect. 13
14 2. Cichlids are a fish that provided a major food source for the people who live around Lake Victoria, which borders Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya in Africa. There were numerous varieties occupying all the niches of the lake. Many varieties were extremely colorful. In the 1960 s, the Nile perch was introduced to the lake in an effort to provide another food source for the fishermen of the lake. The perch multiplied very successfully, but the devastating consequences of the introduction of this alien species on the cichlid populations were not recognized for about two decades because of the political turmoil in eastern Africa. The Nile perch has a voracious appetite due to its size, up to six feet in length. It feeds on cichlids, so a number of varieties have completely disappeared from the lake. Preparing the Nile perch for consumption involves drying, which requires firewood from the surrounding forest. As trees are cut down, sedimentation in the lake increases. In the muddy waters, the cichlids have evolved with a significant decrease in the vibrancy of colors to the point that many of these varieties have become brown. The large net production of algae and water hyacinth in the lake are causing problems. The large net production of the plants decreases the amount of sunlight to reach lower levels of the lake. This causes the plants inhabiting lower levels of the lake to die. Decomposers living in the lake are consuming the algae and water hyacinth that die. Consumption of the dead plants has an affect on the lake that is opposite to the affect that photosynthesis has on the lake. In three paragraphs respond to three of the lettered items described below. a) Explain the evolutionary mechanism by which sediment in the lake could have an effect on the colors of fish in the lake. b) Restoration of the lake may be impossible, but some positive steps can be taken to improve the water quality in the lake. Discuss what can be done to improve the ecosystem of Lake Victoria. c) Explain how the net production of algae and water hyacinth affects the cichlid populations. (5 points) d) Design a controlled experiment to determine whether the Nile perch do in fact change the aquatic ecosystem of Lake Victoria. Identify the environmental factor you will measure, the specific hypothesis you will test, and the data you will attempt to collect 14
15 3. The figures above show the age structures of human populations in three countries, X, Y and Z. (a) Which of the three countries has the largest rate of population growth? Which has the smallest rate? Explain. (b) Compare the infant mortality rates that are likely in Countries X and Y. Explain your reasoning. (c) Describe the changes in both the birth rate and the death rate for a country making the transition from a preindustrial society to an industrial society. (d) Describe one incentive that the government of a country could offer its citizens that would favor a reduction in the growth rate of its population. Explain how this incentive would work, and describe one possible drawback. 15
16 4. A certain fictional country called Industria is tracking its population data. In 1855, the first year vital statistics were reported for the country, the population was 1.6 million, with a crude birth rate of 43 per 1,000. At that time the population of Industria was growing quite slowly, because of the high death rate of 41 per 1,000. In 1875 the population began to grow very rapidly as the birth rate remained at its 1855 level, while the crude death rate dropped dramatically to 20 per 1,000. Population growth continued to increase in the small country into the late 1800 s, even though birth rates began to decline slowly. In 1895 the crude birth rate had dropped to 37, and the death rate to 12 per 1,000. In that year (1895) a complete census revealed that the population of Industria had grown to 2.5 million. By 1950 population growth gradually began to decline as the death rate remained at its 1895 level, while the birth rate continued to decline to 22 per 1,000. In 1977 vital statistics revealed that the death rate was 10 per 1,000, and that population growth had slowed even more to an annual rate of 0.4%. By 1990 Industria had reduced its birth rate to that of its now constant, low death rate, and the population transition was complete. (a) On the axes below, plot the crude birth-rate data from 1855 to Now plot the crude death-rate data on the same axes. Clearly label the axes and the curves. (b) What was the annual growth rate of Industria in 1950? What was the birth rate in Industria in 1977? (c) Indicate TWO factors that might have accounted for the rapid decline in the death rate in Industria between 1855 and Indicate one specific reason why the birth rate might have been so high in 1855 and was so slow to decrease between 1855 and (d) Determine what the population size of Industria would have been in 1951 if the population had continued to grow at the annual rate of growth recorded for Industria in
