Organism Interactions & Biodiversity

Question 1 .
A state was planning to construct several hundred miles of new railway in an area that was currently
the habitat of many different plant and animal populations. During the planning stage, state officials
asked two scientists to come up with plans to help reduce the impact of the railway construction on the
biodiversity of the area. The two plans are described below.
Plans for Maintaining Biodiversity in Area Proposed for Railway Construction

Plan Plan Highlights
Perform a wildlife survey to determine the best locations for construction based on the
presence of endangered or threatened species.
Start construction of aboveground rail tracks in selected locations; as construction

proceeds, create wildlife corridors that help connect divided animal populations to
maintain genetic diversity in the region.
Plan A
After construction is complete, replant with native plants along cleared construction
areas where possible.
Continue to monitor the area for changes in populations and form new action plans as
needed.
Approximate cost of plan: $5 billion
Perform a wildlife survey to determine the best locations for construction based on the
presence of endangered or threatened species.
Dig large underground tunnels in selected areas in which all of the rail tracks will be
constructed.
Line tunnels with concrete to provide stability, construct rail tracks, then cover the
Plan B
disrupted areas with soil and native plants so that the habitat is only minimally
impacted by the presence of the underground railways.
Continue to monitor the area for changes in populations and form new action plans as
needed.
Approximate cost of plan: $30 billion
It was determined that Plan B would likely limit habitat disruption better than Plan A. State officials,
however, decided to go with Plan A.
Why did the state officials probably choose Plan A?

A. Plan B would not have been as effective at maintaining biodiversity.
B. The economic demands of Plan B were too high.
C. An aboveground track will look better than the underground one proposed by Plan B.
D. Plan B would have caused many of the populations to go extinct.

All plants need nitrogen to survive, but it is naturally available to them in only limited supplies. In 1909,
engineers developed a process to make nitrogen available to plants by synthetically producing the
chemical ammonia. Once produced, ammonia could be used as a fertilizer for crops around the world
thanks to its nitrogen content.
The process that the engineers developed is still used today. It makes use of the reaction between
nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas at very high pressures. Nitrogen gas is the most abundant gas in the
atmosphere and is widely available. Hydrogen gas needs to be made from the methane found in
natural gas. Natural gas is a fossil fuel that can be extracted from underground reserves.

deserts of Mexico and the southwestern United States. Suppose a population of rock pocket mice lives
in an area of rocky terrain. The graph below shows the distribution of body sizes within the population

oceans. Suppose a population of yellow tangs lives in a coral reef. The graph below shows the
distribution of body sizes within the population at the time the fish began to live in the reef.
The body sizes of the fish vary from about 20 grams to 180 grams, but most of the fish have a mass of
about 100 grams. The amount of calories each fish needs per day depends on its size, as shown
below.
Mass (grams) 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180

Daily Caloric Needs
10 25 40 65 80 95 110 125 140
(calories)
Over time, selective pressures begin to act on the population. Food becomes scarce, limiting the
number of calories available to individual yellow tangs. Eventually, the average amount of calories that
