Signature Exam directions: There are 55 questions on the exam (45 lecture/10 discussion). Alert proctors if there are missing pages. Always read all answer choices carefully before choosing the best answer based on Bio 114 course material. Correct answers are in bold. Below each question are some general comments that may help you to understand how and why the correct answer is correct and the others are incorrect. If you have any further questions, feel free to consult your notes, lecture videos, and contact your TAs or Dr. Armstrong for help. Although this information is written for Version G (green) of the exam, it is valid for Version A (white), Version B (blue), and Version Y (yellow) as well. If you did not take exam G, you may have a do a little more work to get the question numbers to match up. Questions marked with * represent questions involving material covered directly during lecture videos, the lecture notes and likely during class as well. These questions may be simple, direct recall, or they may involve interpretations that were covered several times in several ways during our course. To achieve a passing grade on this exam you should have been able to answer almost all of these questions correctly. The remaining questions varied in their type and complexity. The increasing difficulty of these questions dictated the grade ranges found in the exam report published on Brightspace on Thursday 9/19. Grades, out of 45, are available on Brightspace.
1) Which of the following types of scientists would most likely study changes in soil chemistry resulting from acid rain? A) An organismal biologist. B) A population biologist. C) A community ecologist. D) An ecosystem ecologist. E) A biosphere scientist. Soil chemistry is one of those abiotic factors that an ecosystem ecologist would be interested in. Acid rain sounds like something that concerns the biosphere as a whole (choice E was the most commonly selected incorrect answer). However, it is more of a localized issue, and the study of soil chemistry is very much a local issue. 1
