Criteria 2

Question 1

What is in experiment design

Answer 1

• Variable - anything that can change in an experiment
• IV - Things you can change in an experiment
• DV - The thing that is measured. Depends on the IV
• CV - The things that we want to keep the same
• Hx - Hypothesis an educated guess
• Ho - something that is easy to disprove and know nothing will happen

Question 2

Common problems with an experiment

Answer 2

problems with
- sample size
- repeats
- control variable
-inconsistencies
- unethical experiment

Question 3

Types of enviro surveys -

Answer 3

Transects (Belt as well) and Quadrats
Random sampling (Stratified, Continuous, Systematic)
Nonmotile organisms

Remote sensing

CMR Capture Mark Recapture
The lincoln index for calculating pop size while using cmr

Baseline and Continuous monitoring

• Nets and trawls

Question 4

Field techniques are

Answer 4

For the study of an ecosystem.

Question 5

Remote sensing

Answer 5

A way to measure the characteristics of a specific area and the things in it by using reflective electromagnetic radiation.

It is the process of using EMR to project images into a digitalized or physical form of atrial shots of a land area

it is used to take images of Motile and nonmotile things without having to make contact with them.

Remote sensing helps with disaster management such as flood and drought warnings.

Question 6

Passive v Active remote sensing

Answer 6

Passive is used by the sun and most sensors and systems work using solar energy.

Active sees the EMR sent from remote sensing platforms to the target to be reflected back.

Anything above 0 degrees kelvin emits some radiation.

Question 7

Recording, displaying and manipulating data

Answer 7

Quantitive is a numerical value

Qualitative is descriptive

Continuous data does not stop, there is always data between points

Discrete data has nothing between ie test scores (Countable)

Question 8

Abiotic

Answer 8

Things that are not derived from living organisms.

Temperature, water, air, light, soil

Question 9

Indicator species

Answer 9

A species that indicates and reflects the environment that it lives in. They are an organism whose presence, absence, or abundance reflects a specific environmental condition.

I.e Frogs and lichens
