The diagram above is an illustration of organisms in an air-tight aquarium.The most important factor needed by the organisms is

A.

light energy

B.

low humidity

C.

oxygen

D.

nitrate

Correct answer is A

Proper light in the aquarium serves as a form of energy for the photosynthetic plants and animals, hence it is very important.

The most important factor(s) that influence(s) the ecological niche of an organism is/are the

A.

water, light, and predator-prey relationship

B.

food and water availability

C.

physical environment

D.

competition for food and space

Correct answer is D

The competition in a territory is the factor that basically determines whether or not a specie will survive or not in that territory. Ecological niche is the total package of the habits of a specie. The competition for food and water is the most important influencer of the ecological niche.

Which of the following dental formulae represents the dentition in rabbits?

 

A.

\(I\frac{2}{1}\) \(C\frac{0}{0}\) \(P\frac{3}{2}\) \(M\frac{3}{3}\)

B.

\(I\frac{2}{2}\) \(C\frac{1}{1}\) \(P\frac{2}{2}\) \(M\frac{3}{3}\)

C.

\(I\frac{1}{2}\) \(C\frac{0}{0}\) \(P\frac{2}{3}\) \(M\frac{3}{3}\)

D.

\(I\frac{2}{1}\) \(C\frac{0}{1}\) \(P\frac{3}{2}\) \(M\frac{3}{3}\)

Correct answer is A

The normal dental formula of rabbits is I2/1 C0/0 P3/2 M3/3 for 28 teeth.
