This interactive quiz, titled 'Biology Chapter 3', explores ecological succession, focusing on pioneer species and primary succession. It assesses understanding of natural succession effects and the impact of resource exploitation on ecosystems, enhancing learners' grasp of ecological processes.
Destruction of the surface that shifts around the earth
Soil arriving from other locations caused by wind and gravity
Wandering animals species that arrive and decompose
Lichens and other pioneer species that die and decompose
Rate this question:
Spores moving into a destroyed landscape to replant trees
A volcanic erupting and burning down a forest to create a new grassland

Rate this question:
It carries disease to all species that eat it
It introduces so much nitrogen into the soil that it poisons other native species
It takes up space for other plants to grow
It spreads many seeds to reproduce quickly around its environment

Rate this question:
The nutcracker can also become infected by the fungus
The fungus is food for the hawks that eat the nutcrackers, making the hawks stronger and faster
The nutcracker nests in the whitebark pines that the fungus attacks
The fungus weakens whitebark pines, whose seeds provide food for the nutcracker
Rate this question:
Fewer insect species currently live in Canada, allowing invasive species to thrive
Habitats in Canada have changed to resemble habitats in other parts of the world
Zoos and public parks introduce many new species, some of which become invasive
International travel allows species to be more easily introduced to our ecosystems
