NAME: ___________________________ YR. & SEC: __________________

I. Direction: Read and analyze the statements. Select from the term/s below what is being
described/defined in the statements. Write it on space before each number.
Acid precipitation destruction of coastal resources global warming
air pollution polychlorinated biphenyl eutrophication Deforestation
endangered limiting factors biodiversity population

_____________ 1.The process by which a body of water becomes enriched in dissolved

nutrients that stimulate the growth of aquatic plant, life
usually resulting in the depletion of dissolved oxygen.
______________ 2. Removing or clearing of a forest to include the cutting of all trees,
mostly for agricultural or urban use.
______________ 3. The total number of organisms of the same species inhabiting a place at
the same time. _____________ 4.Environmental conditions that keep a population from
over increasing in size and thus help balance ecosystems.
______________ 5. A species in which the number of individuals falls so low that
extinction is possible. ______________ 6. Rain containing acids that form in the atmosphere
when industrial gas emissions combines with water.
_____________ 7. It is an increse in the earths temperature from the rapid buildup of carbon
dioxide and other gases.
_____________ 8. Toxic wastes produced in the making of paints, inks and electrical
insulators which are present in water.
_____________ 9. Refers to the variety of life in a given area.
_____________ 10. This occur due to conversion of shoreline into beaches and resorts, dynamite
fishing, and overharvesting.

II. Discussion:
1.Differentiate threatened, endangered and extinct species.
2. In a population, limiting factors and population density are often related. Suppose
that the population density of plant seedlings in an area is very high, explain how
limiting factors may affect population density.

III. Solve the following:

1. If 40 carabaos live in a 1.5 sq.meter area, what is their population density per sq.
meter?
