11. The greenhouse effect makes it possible for Earth’s temperature to —– — —-–. When sunlight travels to Earth, it
first strikes the atmosphere. Most of this radiation — —————— Of the radiation that strikes Earth’s surface,
some is –——————-–, and the other portion is reflected back toward the atmosphere. Of the portion that is
reflected back to the atmosphere, some –———————––, and the other portion is retained within the
atmosphere. The proportion that is retained is determined by the ————————-–.

15. Mycorrhizal fungi are an ecologically important group of fungi that grow in and around the roots of plants. The
association between the fungi and the plants is mutually beneficial; for example, the plant receives increased
mineral and water uptake from the fungi, and the fungi receive carbohydrates from the plant.

Ans:————————–
16. Many small zooplankton living in the open ocean migrate from near the surface to deeper in the water each day.
The zooplankton migrate up to shallow depths at night to capture phytoplankton, which live near the surface
because they need to be near the sunlight. After feeding, the zooplankton migrate deeper into the water again,
likely to avoid predators. Which of the following is an abiotic factor that influences the zooplankton? (see the
picture):
Ans:
——-
