multiple answers may apply to these questions

Question 7

What substance causes water to appear light brown in color?

Dissolved organic carbon

Water molecules itself

Phosphorus

Nitrogen

Algal biomass

Question 8

Which of the following are typically conservative major cations for lakes?

Ca2+

Na+

NO3-

K+

PO4-

Question 9

You would expect a hydrograph of stream flow to be very spiky (or show rapid changes in flow following storm events) if

the stream is draining a very small area

the stream's watershed is heavily vegetated

the stream is in an urban environment

flow in the stream is primarily determined by groundwater sources, not precipitation events

You would not expect a spiky hydrograph under any of these conditions

Question 10

Which of the following statement(s) about food guilds in streams or rivers is/are true?

Scrapers feed on relatively smaller food particles than shredders do.

Collectors compete directly with shredders for food sources.

In a freshwater system, insects are the most common consumers.

Deposit feeders are likely to be found near the surface water.

Shredders are the dominant consumers in high-order streams.

Question 11

Where in a river system would you find filter feeders in the greatest abundance?

Low-order streams

High-order streams

Near the headwaters of a stream

Intermediate-order streams

Filter feeders would be distributed evenly along the entire river system

Question 12

Which of the following is a type of wetland?

Salt marsh

Mangrove forest

Playas

Lakes

Plateaus

A.

Dissolved organic carbon

B.

Water molecules itself

C.

Phosphorus

D.

Nitrogen

E.

Algal biomass
