Improvements: Question 1 of 2
The creation of wildlife refuges and the enforcement of game laws are conservation measures that promote increased
  1. use of biocides
  2. preservation of species
  3. use of biological controls
  4. exploitation of species

Correct Answer Number: 2

Explanation: One positive thing humans are doing is trying to preserve species that may be endangered. Wildlife refuges (where hunting is not allowed) and game laws (that limit the number of organisms hunted) have both helped.


Improvements: Question 2 of 2
An example of a biological control against insects is the use of
  1. herbicides
  2. wildlife refuges
  3. pesticides
  4. sex hormones

Correct Answer Number: 4

Explanation: Attracting insects with their own sex hormones, or phermones, and then trapping them is an example of a biological control because you use only a natural mechanism of attracting them. Pesticides are chemicals that kill insects and are not normally found in nature. Herbicides are chemicals that kill plants.
