Questions 1
through 5 are based on the following passage.
Lichens, of which more
than twenty thousand
species have been
named, are complex associations
between certain
algae. The lichen itself is not
an organism: rather
it is the morphological and biochemical
product of the
association. Neither a fungus
nor an alga alone
can produce lichen.
The intimate relationship
between these two
living components
of lichen was once erroneously
though to represent
mutualism. In mutual relationships,
both participants
benefit. With lichens, however,
it appears the
fungus actually parasitizes the algae.
This is one of the
conclusions drawn from experiments
in which the
two components of lichens were separated
and grown
apart.
In nature, lichen
fungi may encounter and
grow around saveral
kinds of algae. Some types of
algae the fungi may
kill; other types it may reject.
Lichen algae are
autotrophic, meaning they make their
own food through
photosynthesis. Lichen fungi are
heterotrophic,
meaning they depend upon the algae
within the lichen
to supply their food. Up to ninety
percent of than
food made by the green alga cell is
transferred to the
fungus. What, if anything, the fungus
contributes to the
association is not well understood.
Lichens are hardly. The grow in many habitats
and are often
pioneers in hostile environments
where few other
organisms can flourish.
They have been
known to grow
endolithically,
having been discovered thriving inside
of rocks in
Antartica. Lichen help reduce erosion by
stabilizing soil.
Saveral kinds of insects glue lichens to
their
exoskeletons for camouflage.
Many species of
birds use lichens as building
materials for
nests. Human have used lichens for
dyes and
antibiotics.

Question 6 through 10 are based on the
following passage.
When buying a
house, you must be sure to
have it checked for
termites. A termite is much like an
ant in its communal habits,
although physically the
two insects are distinct.
Like those ants, termite colonies consist of
different classes, each with
its own particular job. The
most perfectly
formed termites, both male and
female, make up the
productive class. They have eyes,
hard body walls and
fully developed wings. A pair of
reproductive
termites founds the
colony. When new
reproductive
termites develop, they leave to form
another colony.
They use their wings only this on time
and then break them
off.
The worker termites are small, blind and
wingless, with soft
bodies. They make up the majority
of the colony and
do all the work. Soldiers are
eyeless and
wingless but are larger than the workers
and have hard heads
and strong jaws and legs. They
defend the colony
and are cared for by the workers.
The male and female of the reproductive
class remain inside
a closed-in cell when
the female
lays thousands of
eggs. The workers place the eggs
in cell and care
for them. Even if one colony is treated
with poison, if a
male and female of the reproductive
class escape, they
can form a new colony.
Pest control companies can inspect a house
for infestation of
termites. Often, of lay person can not
spot the evidence,
so it is critical to have the opinion
of a proffesional.
Treatments vary depending upon
the type of termite.
