Question

1. which method of conservation best describes zoos and aquariums?

a. in situ conservation
b. umbrella species conservation
c. ex situ conservation
d. resource conservation

1. protecting these species indirectly protects the many other species that make up the ecological community of its habitat.

a. umbrella species
b. invasive species
c. edge species
d. domesticated species

1. fishermen fish in the sea and sell fish to the community. over time, new technology developed to allow fishermen to catch more fish at a time, which allowed for them to earn more money selling more fish. eventually, overfishing leads to a decline in the fish population, fish sales declining, and hungry communities. this is an example of...

a. in situ conservation
b. habitat fragmentation
c. tragedy of the commons
d. resource partitioning

1. what is one way to conserve resources?

a. turn on all lights when leaving the house.
b. drink only from disposable water bottles.
c. separate aluminum from trash and recycle it.
d. only buy brand new clothing from malls.
b.di.3: loss of diversity

Explanation:

• Question 9: Ex - situ conservation involves protecting species outside their natural habitat. Zoos and aquariums are examples of ex - situ conservation as they house species away from their original environment.
• Question 10: Umbrella species are those whose conservation indirectly protects many other species in their ecological community. By protecting umbrella species, the habitat and resources of other associated species are also safeguarded.
• Question 11: The tragedy of the commons occurs when individuals, acting in their own self - interest, deplete a shared resource. In this case, fishermen overfishing (a shared resource - the fish population in the sea) leads to its decline, which is an example of the tragedy of the commons.
• Question 12: Recycling aluminum (separating it from trash and recycling) is a way to conserve resources. Turning on all lights when leaving the house wastes energy, using only disposable water bottles increases waste (as they are not sustainable), and only buying brand - new clothing from malls does not contribute to resource conservation (thrift stores or clothing swaps can be more resource - friendly).

Answer:

1. C. Ex situ conservation
2. A. Umbrella species
3. C. Tragedy of the commons
4. C. Separate aluminum from trash and recycle it.
