1. If two communities have the same species richness, the one with the more even distribution of species is considered more diverse.
A.True
B.False
2. ?Data? and ?results? are two names for the same thing.
A.True
B.False
3.The Shannon Index is a mathematical expression used to measure diversity that takes both species richness and species evenness into account. A higher H value:
A.indicates a higher certainty about species composition and greater diversity.
B. indicates a lower certainty about species composition and less diversity
C.indicates a lower certainty about species composition and greater diversity.
D.indicates a higher certainty about species composition and less diversity.
E.None of the above
4.Why is it important to swirl your culture before sampling and take multiple independent drops?
A.because protists settle on the ground and you want non-random samples
B.because you need to ensure that you have multiple random samples of your culture
C.because protists move around quickly
D.because the different protist in the culture will be on separate sides of the jar from each other
5. If the results of an experiment turn out differently from what you expected, then:
A.the experiment was a failure.
B.you should explore the possible reasons for this in the discussion section of a scientific paper.
C.you need to redo the experiment until you get the expected results.
D.you did not follow the scientific method.
