Note: Use this example test to familiarize yourself
with the types of questions I ask. Perhaps I may
even use some of the same questions on your exam.
However, focusing on this test at the expense of
looking at your notes would be a mistake.

Short Answer (4pts each)

18. Why are there fewer secondary consumers (in biomass) than producers (in biomass)?

19. Why does the reaction rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increase with temperature at first and then slow down at higher temps (essentially two questions here)?
