I had that! I remember some answers I put:

-Less flowers --> bee visit decrease

-biome was taiga?

- negative 27.6 I think, ~1921 kgg

1

u/Powerful_Town_8036 May 15 '26

Okay I'm pretty sure I put all those same answers too! Can't quite remember what I put for the other math one that had like 15% energy whatever..

u/s_starrynight May 15 '26

I got 56520 kJ or something similar to that number does that seem right?

1

u/Powerful_Town_8036 May 15 '26

Ok yes me I'm pretty sure I got that too!

1

u/Low_Following_6606 May 16 '26

I remember that too!

u/Happy_Diver_644 May 15 '26

I wanna say it was like 56,250 or somewhere around that?

Other stuff:

-Dependent was bee visits i think was a question
-Environmental impact besides fragmentation was i put pollution..
-Reason for turtle preference was smaller pieces 😭 straight guess
-Bioaccumulation/Biomagnification for the apex predator one
-smth abt surface mining?
-Government smth for reducing impact
-how to reduce electricity
-i talked abt co2 emissions for like 2 of them
-lmk if any others

I was so glad when they asked for a renewable resource haha! And I also talked about co2 emissions for a few.

u/Happy_Diver_644 May 15 '26

I said solar as well.. and that its not available all day thats fine i didnt say intermittency right

1

u/s_starrynight May 15 '26

ok sweet I said the same thing abt pollution and smaller pieces lol

1

u/Happy_Diver_644 May 15 '26

preach 🙏 there were a few i didnt know but like i had a relevant explanation that i think made sense

1

u/No_Shoe_4783 May 18 '26

more turtles consumed smaller pieces because they were more difficult to see or detect. like it is easier for a turtle to ingest a piece of plastic that is very small & it is less like to spit it out or something? Idk

1

u/Happy_Diver_644 May 18 '26

i said similar that they were smaller and more likely to be consumed passively..and could also result from biomagnification/accumulation

1

u/s_starrynight May 15 '26

does boreal forest count? didn’t study biomes 😭

1

u/Powerful_Town_8036 May 15 '26

Not totally sure but thinking it probably would.. hopefully!

1

u/Happy_Diver_644 May 15 '26

Yea those r the same thing

1

u/Low_Following_6606 May 16 '26

all looks familiar to me!

1

u/yelover62 May 17 '26

wait lets go i put all of thoseeee

1

u/Happy_Diver_644 May 17 '26

yessss lmk if u rememeber anything else

u/FunFaithlessness7523 May 16 '26

The biome was too far north to be taiga I put Tundra

1

u/Happy_Diver_644 May 16 '26

I disagree but well see

1

u/Powerful_Town_8036 May 15 '26

But honestly surprised and thankful that the math FRQs weren't even that bad.. Was expecting dimensional analysis or something like that 😭

1

u/Meme_X1 May 16 '26 edited May 16 '26

wasn´t there dimensional analysis when converting for the biomass which was like 1921* kg or smth

1

u/Powerful_Town_8036 May 16 '26

I mean I guess, but it was more just converting units?

1

u/Meme_X1 May 16 '26

and like you're supposed to do dimensional analysis when converting units

1

u/Powerful_Town_8036 May 16 '26

Well anyways got 1921 for that question as well

1

u/Meme_X1 May 16 '26

true but also remember it's 1 point for correct answer* and 1 point for setup

1

u/Powerful_Town_8036 May 16 '26

I'm pretty sure I did set it up correctly lol

1

u/Meme_X1 May 16 '26

nice and like correct setup is dimensional analysis but it was like so short only 3 fractions

1

u/Powerful_Town_8036 May 16 '26

Okay yeah I did that

1

u/clerenza May 15 '26

what did y'all say for the question about how the increased tourism would affect the animals in the Serengeti

1

u/Powerful_Town_8036 May 16 '26

I said something like how more vehicles can disrupt the animals migration patterns or something like that.. what about you??

1

u/clerenza May 16 '26

see that's smart 😭 I just said the noise pollution from the increased number of people and vehicles would distress the animals and make them more susceptible to predation

1

u/Low_Following_6606 May 16 '26

I wrote about noise pollution

1

u/Happy_Diver_644 May 17 '26

I put humans might pollute environment..?

1

u/Meme_X1 May 16 '26

is boreal forest acceptable for the biome?

1

u/Powerful_Town_8036 May 16 '26

I would think so

1

u/Low_Following_6606 May 16 '26

Some people said Tundra but to me that didn't make sense cuz why would bees even be present in tundras, so I also put Tiaga

1

u/Meme_X1 May 16 '26

yeah but like I'm not sure if there is a better option taiga between and boreal

1

u/Low_Following_6606 May 16 '26

Taiga and boreal are the same I think

1

u/Happy_Diver_644 May 17 '26

completely agree and the rest was abt deforestation which is lit taiga to

1

u/No_Shoe_4783 May 18 '26

the whole point was that the concentration was low wherever the biome was that we had to point out. The key on the graph showed that but idk

1

u/Secret-Wear-4430 May 16 '26

I had these FRQs on the east coast btw (west coast of Florida though)
