1. which of the following is an abiotic factor? a. seaweed b. treebark c. rocks d. turtle 2. what is an input of photosynthesis and flows through the carbon cycle? a. glucose b. water c. oxygen d. carbon dioxide 3. where is/can carbon be stored for long periods of time (longer than a lifetime)? a. in rocks b. in the atmosphere c. in water molecules d. carbon is not stored for long periods of time. 4. where is carbon found? a. in living organisms b. in rocks c. in the atmosphere d. all of the above 5. which of the statements below best explains how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are related to the carbon cycle? a. carbon is not found in the processes of photosynthesis or cellular respiration. b. carbon from glucose during photosynthesis is turned into atp during cellular respiration. c. photosynthesis takes in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to produce glucose, and then cellular respiration uses glucose as an input and produces carbon dioxide as a product. d. cellular respiration takes in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to produce glucose, and then photosynthesis uses glucose as an input and produces carbon dioxide as a product.

Most of earth’s fresh water is found in oceans and seas stored in glaciers and ice caps groundwater stored beneath the surface found in lakes, rivers, streams, and reservoirs

To answer this question, researchers studied populations of the dusky salamander (desmognathus ochrophaeus) living on different mountain ranges in the southern appalachian mountains. the researchers tested the reproductive isolation of pairs of salamander populations by leaving one male and one female together and later checking the females for the presence of sperm. four mating combinations were tested for each pair of populations (a and b)—two within the same population (female a with male a and female b with male b) and two between populations (female a with male b and female b with male a). the proportion of successful matings for each mating combination was measured. for example, when all the matings of a particular combination were successful, the researchers gave it a value of 1; when none of the matings were successful, they gave it a value of 0. then the researchers calculated an index of reproductive isolation that ranged from 0 (no isolation) to 2 (full isolation). the reproductive isolation value for two populations is the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type within populations (aa + bb) minus the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type between populations (ab + ba). the table provides data for the geographic distances and reproductive isolation values for 27 pairs of dusky salamander populations.
