Title: BIODIVERSITY JEOPARDY Basics Genetic and Species Ecosystem


1
BIODIVERSITY JEOPARDY
2
Answer
  • The Earths greatest natural resource.

3
Question
  • What is Biodiversity?

4
Answer
  • Biodiversity

5
Question
  • What is the variability of all living organisms?

6
Answer
  • The three levels of Biodiversity.

7
Question
  • What are genetic, species and ecosystem?

8
Answer
  • Although they never met, the two scientists
    primarily responsible for our understanding of
    the link between adaptation and genetics.

9
Question
  • Who are Mendel and Darwin?

10
Answer
  • The classification categories for living things
    from least to most diverse.

11
Question
  • What is species, genus, family, order, class,
    phylum, Kingdom, Domain?

12
Answer
  • A species not in immediate danger of extinction,
    but at risk.

13
Question
  • What is threatened species?

14
Double JEAPORDY
  • How much do you wish to wager?

15
Double JEAPORDY Answer
  • The variety of individuals in an ecosystem.

16
Double JEAPORDY Question
  • What is species diversity?

17
Answer
  • Source of variation that allows populations to
    adapt to environmental changes.

18
Question
  • What is genetic diversity?

19
Answer
  • Non-native species.

20
Question
  • What is introduced species?

21
Question
22
Answer
  • What is when a small population repeatedly
    experiences interbreeding and genetic drift with
    loss of genetic variation being key?

23
Question
  • Extinction vortex

24
Answer
  • Large area filled with grasses, flowers and
    herbs- also known as the bread basket of America

25
Question
  • What is the Temperate Grassland Biome?

26
Answer
  • Two biomes which are characterized by extreme
    temperatures and low biodiversity.

27
Question
  • What are Tundra and Desert?

28
Answer
  • May help moderate the greenhouse effect by
    consuming huge quantities of CO2 for
    photosynthesis and for building bicarbonate
    shells.

29
Question
  • What are productive dense regions, pastures of
    Phytoplankton in the Oceans?

30
Answer
  • The minimum population size at which a species is
    able to sustain its numbers and survive.

31
Question
  • What is the minimum viable population (MVP)?

32
Answer
  • A small area with a very high concentration of
    species and a large number of endangered and
    threatened species.

33
Question
  • What is a Biodiversity Hot Spot?

34
Answer
  • 3 Ecosystem services provided by a healthy
    biodiversity.

35
Question
  • What are (any 3)
  • Air and water purification
  • Less severe droughts and floods
  • Soil generation and preservation
  • Waste decomposition and detoxification
  • Nutrient cycling
  • Pollination and natural vegetation
  • Seed dispersal
  • Shoreline erosion protection?

36
Answer
  • Three Biological resources provided to humans by
    a healthy biodiversity.

37
Question
  • What are (any 3)
  • Food
  • Medicine
  • Fibers, Clothes
  • Wood products
  • Ornamental plants
  • Diversity in genes, species and ecosystem?

38
Answer
  • Interspecific interactions between organisms.

39
Question
  • What are competition, predation, plant eating,
    and symbiosis (any 3)

40
Answer
  • Less than 2 of land on earth, yet home to more
    than a third of all species of plants, mammals,
    amphibians, reptiles and birds.

41
Question
  • What is the Hottest terrestrial biodiversity
    hot spot?

42
Answer
  • E.O. Wilson calls it biophilia.

43
Question
  • What is, one main reason for preserving
    biodiversity Our sense of connection to nature
    and other forms of life?

44
Answer
  • Three threats to biodiversity.

45
Question
  • What are habitat loss, introduced species, and
    overexploitation?

46
Answer
  • The three focal points of population conservation

47
Question
  • What are population size, genetic diversity and
    critical habitat?

48
Answer
  • Development of land that does not limit future
    generations.

49
Question
  • What is sustainable development?

50
Answer
  • Detoxifying polluted ecosystems using plants,
    fungi, and prokaryotes.

51
Question
  • What is bioremediation?

52
Answer
  • The use of organisms to add essential nutrients
    to a depleted ecosystem.

53
Question
  • What is biological augmentation?
