Question

Select True or False (T/F)

11. Aquatic ecosystems are typically limited by primary productivity.

12. Barcoding refers to a large scale program that tags many individuals of a species to follow its movements.  

13. Biodiversity hotspots are areas where there is the greatest risk of loss of biodiversity.

14. Bioprospecting is the science of exploring the planet looking for new species.

15. Changes in a habitat may cause it to become fragmented into smaller, more isolated regions. This is a risk because some animals require large ranges, or may face greater risks in habitats that are smaller.

16. Consider this scenario. Like most fish, a wild salmon often has parasites that survive on fish tissues, typically without harming the fish. You catch the fish and eat it. You and the parasite occupy the same trophic level.
