The chemical defence produced by plants against herbivory are:
1. | primary metabolites | 2. | secondary metabolites |
3. | cofactors | 4. | pollens |

Monarch butterflies are toxic and unpalatable to predators because they:
1. | incorporate the toxic chemicals from the milkweed they eat |
2. | produce their own secondary compounds |
3. | break down the toxic chemicals from the milkweed they eat |
4. | live with symbionts that secret toxins |

Number of species in a community is an indicator of its:
1. | spatial heterogeneity | 2. | ecosystem productivity |
3. | species diversity | 4. | species richness |
Identify the correct statement:
1. | Eutrophic lakes contain fewer nutrients than oligotrophic lakes. |
2. | Xerarch succession is a primary succession that occurs in water bodies. |
3. | Most ecologists believe that most communities achieve stable, unchanging climax vegetation. |
4. | A mature ecosystem has greater species richness, greater biomass, and less net productivity than a younger stage of succession. |
The phenomenon of character displacement is seen in:
1. sympatric species
2. allopatric species
3. primary succession
4. secondary succession
A form of mimicry where a harmless species has evolved to imitate the warning signals of a harmful species directed at a predator of them both is called:
1. Mullerian mimicry
2. Batesian mimicry
3. cryptic coloration
4. disruptive coloration
