FAQs

How many MCQs are on the Apes exam? ›

The given solution which would best address the issues of greatest concern in the community is "Construction of a seawall."Explanation:Seawall is a barrier structure that is constructed along the shoreline to prevent waves and strong winds from reaching the land.

Aquatic macroinvertebrates are good indicators of stream quality because: They are affected by the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of the stream. They can't escape pollution and show the effects of short- and long term pollution events.

Industrial Discharge: Industrial discharge refers to the release of pollutants into the environment by factories or industrial facilities. It is a common example of point source pollution.

Roughly 9% of all test takers in 2022 received an “extremely well qualified” score of 5. The largest share of test takers—27.4%—received a 4. And 17.5% received a 3.

45-59% = 3. 60-74% = 4. 75% or more = 5.

Which of the following factors would most likely contribute to the conditions observed in the Long Island Sound? Restricted circulation; Correct. The enclosed shape of the sound could result in reduced circulation, meaning that oxygen-rich waters would not reach bottom waters where phytoplankton do not photosynthesize.

In fact, the Heinz Center and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) estimate that over the next 60 years, beach erosion may claim one out of four homes within 150 meters of the U.S. shoreline.

Heat also increases the metabolic rate of aquatic organisms (unless the water temperature gets too high and kills the organism), which further reduces the amount of dissolved oxygen because respiration increases.

EPT Index. The EPT Index uses pollution tolerance levels of different macroinvertebrates to indicate water quality. It is named after the three orders of macroinvertebrates that are assessed: Ephemeroptera (mayflies), Plecoptera (stoneflies), and Trichoptera (caddisflies) (Figure 3).

How do macroinvertebrates tell us if water is healthy? ›

Generally, waterbodies in healthy biological condition support a wide variety and high number of macroinvertebrate taxa, including many that are intolerant of pollution. Samples yielding only pollution–tolerant species or very little diversity or abundance may indicate a less healthy waterbody.

The specific disease outcomes most strongly linked with exposure to air pollution include stroke, ischaemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, pneumonia, and cataract (household air pollution only).

An oil spill is an example of a. point-source pollution.

Which of the following best describes how thermal pollution from power plants can affect aquatic ecosystems? Warm water discharged into rivers and streams decreases the oxygen content of the water, which reduces the number of fish species.

Groundwater Pollution

Fertilizers and pesticides applied to farmland are easily absorbed into the ground, or they can be transported as runoff during rainfall. Groundwater can also become contaminated when waste from landfills and septic systems leaches into the ground.

In addition to the 60 multiple-choice questions, the AP® Human Geography exam also consists of three Free Response questions, which make up 50% of a student's score. Each FRQ is comprised of a series of seven questions relating to a topic. Each question should be answered in a few sentences and is worth 1 point.

The AP Computer Science A exam is three hours long and consists of two sections: a multiple-choice section and a free-response section. 40 multiple-choice questions.

The AP® Environmental Science exam is 2 hours and 40 minutes long. Students will have 90 minutes to complete the multiple-choice section (80 questions) and 70 minutes to complete the free-response section (3 questions).

What's the weighting of different questions? In the multiple-choice portion of the AP® World History exam, you will be required to answer 55 questions in 55 minutes. The questions are grouped into three or four questions covering the same subject.
