Correct answers are provided for each question to test understanding of key concepts.
This document contains 71 multiple choice questions related to environmental science. The questions cover topics such as atmospheric layers, air pollutants, greenhouse gases, waste management practices, renewable and non-renewable energy sources, ecosystems, biodiversity, and environmental protection laws. The questions are intended to assess understanding of key concepts in environmental science for first semester biology students.
The growing human population threatens biodiversity by causing habitat loss and fragmentation. This leads to the extinction of species and loss of ecosystem stability. Habitat corridors provide a solution by allowing species to access different habitat areas. Invasive species also disrupt ecosystems by pushing out native species. Conservation methods aim to protect biodiversity through sustainable development, legislation, and the management of public lands and natural resources.

Students are asked to define terms, analyze case studies, interpret graphs/figures, and explain relationships between abiotic and biotic factors that shape ecosystems.
The document contains a 20 question formative test on topics related to the environment, conservation, and biodiversity. The questions cover topics such as the definition of endangered species, causes of species extinction, reasons for protecting endangered animals, impacts of forest fires and habitat loss, renewable vs non-renewable energy sources, and causes of climate change and pollution. The test aims to assess understanding of key environmental concepts.
