9. Disturbance is an important component of succession because it (A) Removes keystone species. (B) Changes the biome from one kind to another. (C) Introduces invasive species. (D) Is associated with humans. (E) Tends to promote earlier successional stages.

10. Unlike energy, matter cycles, This means that (A) An ecosystem cannot lose chemicals from it. (B) Ecosystems can acquire chemicals that are used up from other ecosystems. (C) When models are built for ecosystems, all of the materials should be able to be accounted (D) Matter is being continually converted into heat and back into matter. (E) Chemicals contain energy, but energy doesn't contain chemicals.

11. Gross primary productivity is higher than net primary productivity. The difference between the two is (A) The amount of energy producers burn when they metabolize. (B) Typically the ratio between the biomass of producers and the biomass of consumers. (C) An important measure of ecosystem productivity. (D) Energy that is lost into outer space due to metabolic inefficiencies. (E) EerBy that is stored in plant tissues.

12. Why are big, predatory animals rare? Most big, predatory animals are tertiary consumers, which implies that (A) typically, they are highly territorial. (B) It's hard for an ecosystem to support many of them because so much energy is lost at each level of energy exchange. (C)By overexploitation, humans have caused many predatory species to become endangered. (D) It takes a long time for big, predatory animals to evolve. (E) It's hard for a big animal to move through dense vegetation
