Final Jeopardy

$100 Question from EffectsIs mutation an effect of bioaccumulation?

$100 Answer from EffectsYes, it is.

$200 Question from EffectsChemicals can enter organisms through diffusion, true or

false?

$200 Answer from EffectsFalse

$300 Question from EffectsHarmful chemicals can effect the immune system, true or

false?

$300 Answer from EffectsTrue

$400 Question from EffectsWhat system of the orcas are most negatively affected by

bioaccumulation?

$400 Answer from EffectsThe reproductive system.

$500 Question from EffectsWhy do newborn orcas have a higher concentration of toxins

than their parents?

$500 Answer from EffectsNewborn orca calves have the same PCB level as it’s mother,

but it gains more through consuming it’s mother’s fat rich milk.

$100 Question from MitigationCan bacteria be used for bioremediation?

$100 Answer from MitigationYes

$200 Question from MitigationHow can plants be used for bioremediation?

$200 Answer from MitigationPlants can be used as natural traps to biodegrade hazardous wastes in soil, taking in and concentrating heavy metals in

their tissues. They can also aid in stabilizing soil.

$300 Question from MitigationDo forest industries use bioremediation?

$300 Answer from MitigationYes

$400 Question from MitigationBacteria can remove chemicals through osmosis, true or

false?

$400 Answer from MitigationFalse

$500 Question from MitigationWhat is created when lead-contaminated soil is mixed with

phosphate fertilizer?

$500 Answer from MitigationPyromorphite is created.

$100 Question from PollutantsDefine heavy metals.

$100 Answer from PollutantsHeavy metals are metallic elements with a high density that

are toxic to organisms.

$200 Question from PollutantsIs lead naturally present in all soils?

$200 Answer from PollutantsYes.

$300 Question from PollutantsWhere is cadmium found?

$300 Answer from PollutantsEarth’s crust

$400 Question from PollutantsHow many tonnes of mercury are released through natural

sources annually?

$400 Answer from Pollutants6000 tonnes.

$500 Question from Pollutants

How is methylmercury created.

$500 Answer from PollutantsMethylmercury is created by bacterial in the soil changing

compounds such as mercury sulfide.

$100 Question from VocabularyWhat is Biomagnification?

$100 Answer from VocabularyBiomagnification is the process in which chemicals accumulate and concentrate at each trophic level.

$200 Question from VocabularyDefine Keystone Species.

$200 Answer from VocabularyKeystone species are species that can greatly affect population numbers and the health of an ecosystem.

$300 Question from VocabularyWhat does ppm stand for?

$300 Answer from Vocabularyppm stands for parts per million

$400 Question from VocabularyDefine bioaccumuluation.

$400 Answer from VocabularyThe gradual build-up

of synthetic and organic chemicals inliving organisms.

$500 Question from VocabularyWhat is Bioremediation?

$500 Answer from VocabularyBioremediation is the use of organisms-usually micro-organisms or plants- water or soil to reverse or lessen

environmental damage.

$100 Question from ProcessBioaccumulation occurs when chemicals are excreted far

faster than it could be taken in, true or false?

$100 Answer from ProcessFalse

$200 Question from ProcessIf the keystone species are affected, the ecosystem will be

effected heavily, true or false?

$200 Answer from ProcessTrue.

$300 Question from ProcessWhy do chemicals get more concentrated at higher trophic

levels?

$300 Answer from ProcessHigher trophic levels have more chemical accumulation due to their prey having consumed high amounts of chemicals

already.

$400 Question from ProcessWhich organism does the DDT first accumulate in?

$400 Answer from ProcessDDT first accumulates in plankton

$500 Question from ProcessWhat type of tissues will trap most pollutants?

$500 Answer from ProcessFat tissues and plant tissues.
