Habitat refers to the living conditions of a population, including ecotope, biocenosis (1 point). An ecological niche is the sum of factors for the existence of a given species, the main one of which is its place in the food chain (1 point). Answer. Each organism or population has its own habitat: the area or type of area where it lives. When multiple populations various types living organisms live in one place and interact with each other, they create a so-called community, or biological community (1 point). Thus, a community is a complex of interconnected populations different types living in a certain territory with more or less homogeneous living conditions. An ecosystem is a collection of communities interacting with chemical and physical factors that create a non-living environment.

Answer. Characteristic properties aquatic environment, different from sushi, are high density, mobility, acidity, ability to dissolve gases and salts (1 point). For all these conditions, hydrobionts have historically developed appropriate adaptations. (1 point). Answer. Ecosystems are made up of living and nonliving components, called biotic and abiotic, respectively. The set of living organisms of a biotic component is called a community (biocenosis). Biotic is divided into phytocenosis, microbiocenosis and zoocenosis. The nonliving, or abiotic, component of an ecosystem mainly includes 1) soil or water and 2) climate.

Task 3

Answer. Due to the destruction of wolves in the population, there will be a surge in the deer population (1 point), since the natural population regulator will be destroyed (1 point). This can lead to catastrophic consequences, since the food resources of the deer will be destroyed (eaten), which will then lead to the extinction of the deer (1 point). The increase in numbers initially proceeds like an avalanche until environmental resources are exhausted (environmental capacity) (1 point).

Task 2

  1. Answer. The nucleus contains hereditary information about the characteristics of a given cell and the whole organism, which is realized in the synthesis of certain proteins. Outside there is a nuclear membrane, inside there is chromatin with compactions - nucleoli.
  2. Answer. On biotic, abiotic and anthropogenic. They are grouped according to the way they affect organisms.
  3. Answer Animals, plants, bacteria and fungi. Due to the presence of a cell wall in the cell structure, similarity in external structure, reproduction (presence of spores), etc., plants used to unite with fungi and bacteria into one kingdom.
  4. Answer. An ecological niche is the place occupied by a species (more precisely, its population) in a community (biocenosis), a complex of its biocenotic connections and requirements for abiotic environmental factors. Habitat refers to the living conditions of a population, including ecotope and biocenosis. An ecological niche is the sum of factors for the existence of a given species, the main one of which is its place in the food chain.
  5. Answer. Each organism or population has its own habitat: the area or type of area where it lives. When several populations of different species of living organisms live in one place and interact with each other, they create a so-called community, or biological community. Thus, a community is a complex of interconnected populations of different species living in a certain territory with more or less homogeneous living conditions. An ecosystem is a collection of communities interacting with chemical and physical factors that create a non-living environment. In other words, an ecosystem is a system formed by a biotic community and an abiotic environment.
  6. Plant pollination is the stage of sexual reproduction of seed plants, the process of transferring pollen from the anther to the stigma of the pistil in angiosperms. Among the adaptations of flowering plants are: Bright color of the corolla, aroma, as well as features in the arrangement of the stamens and stigma of the pistil.
  7. Answer. Cellular structure, the presence of organic substances in living organisms (sugar, starch, fat, protein, nucleic acids and inorganic substances: water and mineral salts), metabolism, reproduction, heredity and variability, irritability, ability to move. Metabolism is the main feature of living things, including nutrition, respiration, transport of substances, their transformation and the creation from them of substances and structures of one’s own body, the release of energy in some processes and use in others, the release of final products of vital activity.
  8. Answer. The characteristic properties of the aquatic environment, different from land, are high density, mobility, acidity, and the ability to dissolve gases and salts. For all these conditions, hydrobionts have historically developed appropriate adaptations.
  9. Answer. Ecosystems are made up of living and nonliving components, called biotic and abiotic, respectively. The set of living organisms of a biotic component is called a community (biocenosis). Biotic is divided into phytocenosis, microbiocenosis and zoocenosis. The nonliving, or abiotic, component of an ecosystem mainly includes 1) soil or water and 2) climate. The concept of climate includes parameters such as light, temperature and humidity. All components of the ecosystem interact.
  10. Answer. Through cell membranes, cytoplasmic bridges and intercellular substance. Through hyaloplasm.

Task 3.

Task 4.

  • Answer. As a result of the destruction of wolves, there will be a surge in the deer population because the natural population regulator will be destroyed. This can lead to catastrophic consequences, as the deer's food resources will be destroyed (eaten), which will then lead to the extinction of the deer. The increase in numbers initially proceeds like an avalanche until environmental resources (environmental capacity) are exhausted. Thus, the ecological role of predators is in regulating the number of prey and maintaining balance in the ecosystem.
  • Answer. Humanity, especially in recent decades, has had a strong impact on the natural environment, disrupting the processes in it. In this regard, various global problems arise in the biosphere. The main ones are: disruption of biochemical cycles of substances, soil erosion, pollution of all spheres of the planet: atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, greenhouse effect, deforestation, habitat reduction, desertification, extermination of species, resource depletion. In the Kaliningrad region, there are currently acute problems of forest reduction, reduction of natural habitats, adventitization of flora and fauna, and environmental pollution. The following measures can be proposed: solving air pollution problems by improving roads and building bridges; reducing the number of boiler houses and converting them to gaseous fuel; recycling; taking punitive measures for environmental pollution; adoption of the forest code, etc.
  • Answer. The main characteristic feature of a plant cell is the presence of chloroplasts and chlorophyll. This pigment gives the plant's body a green color. Thanks to it, photosynthesis is carried out - the most important process on Earth. The green color of the thallus of some fungi and lichens is determined by the presence of other pigments, and, therefore, is not a reason to classify them as belonging to the plant kingdom.
