9. The graph shows the populations of animal X and animal Y in the same habitat from
1920 to 1940.
What biological relationship between animal X and animal Y is shown in the graph?
2
A. X and Y compete for the same, limited resource.
B. X and Y interact such that one depends on the other for survival.
C. X and Y interact such that one is the predator, and the other is the prey.
D. X and Y interact such that both benefit.
10. The graph shows the density of mosquitoes in an area that had been sprayed with a
non-biodegradable insecticide once every half a year, successively for five sprays.
Explain why the insecticide did not kill most mosquitoes after the fifth spray.
A. Mosquitoes acquired resistance to the insecticide after some time and survived,
forming a population that was resistant to the insecticide.
B. Mosquitoes with resistance to the insecticide survived and produced a population
that was resistant to the insecticide.
C. The insecticide broke down after some time and could not kill the mosquitoes.

2. The populations of organisms P, Q and R are placed together in the same habitat.
Only one of the organisms is prey to the other two organisms. The graph below shows
the populations of P, Q and R over a period of time.
Which of the following statements about the organisms is true?

(1) Organism R is the prey of Organism Q
(2) Organism P reproduces faster than Organism Q

population
3. Marie noticed two plants in the garden. Plant A is planted firmly in the ground. Plant B
is coiled around Plant A, with no visible connection to the soil like the diagram below.
After a few weeks, Marie observed that Plant A is wilting and dying. However, Plant B
is healthy and growing well. What hypothesis could Marie formulate from this
observation?
4
(1) Plant B is absorbing nutrients from Plant A, thus causing Plant A to wilt and die.
(2) Plant A is taking nutrients from the soil with the help of Plant B.
(3) Plant A is having difficulty taking in nutrients from the soil, thus it wilts and
gradually dies.
(4) Plant B is a specialized part of Plant A.

environment. Which one of the following statements is correct?
(1) The non-living environment is known as the chemical environment and the
living environment is known as the physical environment.
(2) The non-living environment is known as the physical environment and the living
environment is known as the chemical environment.
(3) The non-living environment is known as the biotic environment and the living
environment is known as the physical environment.
(4) The non-living environment is known as the physical environment and the living
environment is known as the biotic environment.
5. Which of the following questions should you ask to find out why a certain animal
migrates?
I. Is there a change in the weather surrounding the animal’s habitat?

II. Is there abundant food source for this animal?
III. Does the animal migrate with other species of animals?
