Question 3(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points) (4.04 MC) Some viruses found on the ocean's surface can infect and kill plankton. How would this affect the fish population and human health? The virus could kill the plankton population, leaving the fish with less competition, ultimately increasing food supplies for humans. The virus could kill the plankton population, leaving the fish with little or no food source, ultimately taking a food source away from humans. Plankton are low on the food chain, so there would be no impact on the plankton population or human health in relation to the ocean environm Plankton are high on the food chain, so there would be limited impact on the plankton population or human health.

15. The marine biome is primarily divided into ecologically distinct zones depending on _____. a. plant life present b. type of fish present c. adaptation of organisms to salinity d. temperature and freshwater input e. depth and distance from shore 16. Depth at which primary production can occur in aquatic biomes is predominantly determined by ______. a. input of sinking biomass b. vertical migration of zooplankton between the euphotic, dysphotic and aphotic zones c. attenuation of light in water as determined by Beer’s Law d. pressure e. concentration of carbohydrates, lipids and/or proteins in the water 17. Freshwater and marine biomes primarily differ in ______. a. temperature b. dissolved gasses c. oxygen d. salinity e. light availability

1) Suppose that decomposers were eliminated from a coral reef ecosystem. What would be the ultimate effect of this change on the ecosystem? The rate of photosynthesis would increase. The consumers would have to eat twice as much. Energy flow between producers and consumers would increase. Eventually, all life would cease because nutrients would no longer be available. Producers would outgrow consumers due to the excess of carbon dioxide. 2) A cell is exposed to a toxin that destroys the nucleolus. Which of the following cellular activities will be affected first? Protein synthesis DNA Movement Energy Storage Both a and c are correct 3)A different cell is exposed to another toxin. This time the toxin destroys the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Which of the following cellular activities will be affected first? Detoxification of harmful substances Production of membranes Protein synthesis Movement BOTH a and b are correct

Present Value When harvesting a population, such as fish, the present value of the resource is given by $$P=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-r t} n(t) y(t) d t$$ where $r$ is a discount factor, $n(t)$ is the net revenue at time $t$ and $y(t)$ is the harvesting effort. Suppose $y(t)=K$ and $n(t)=$ $a t+b .$ Find the present value. Source: Some Mathematical Questions in Biology. Radioactive Waste Radioactive Waste ing the atmosphere at time $t$ is decreasing and is given by $P e^{-k t}$ where $P$ is the initial rate. Use the improper integral $$\int_{0}^{\infty} P e^{-k t} d t$$ with $P=50$ to find the total amount of the waste that will enter the atmosphere for each value of $k .$
