Pre-Lab Questions
1. Would you expect endangered species to be more frequently
generalists or specialists? Explain your answer.
I would expect endangered species to be more frequently specialists because being a
specialists the animals need specific food, weather or climate to survive. If those things
are not around they will end up dying. If they were generalists they would be able to
adapt to the changes in their environment.
2. How does temperature affect water availability in an ecosystem?
The temperature affects water availability in the ecosystem because of evaporation.
When it is to hot the water evaporates and may not replenish with rainfall. With warm but
not temperatures then the water will evaporate but it will rain more often.
3. Choose a species and describe some adaptations that species
developed that allow them to survive in their native habitat
A species that would be considered a generalist is a raccoon, which can survive in many
different environments and survives by eating a wide variety of foods. A specialist
example would be a koala. The koala lives in the hot temperatures of Australia and
survives solely off of eucalyptus leaves, which is abundant in its habitat.

Experiment 1: Effects of pH on Radish Seed Germination
Natural soil pH depends on the parent rock material from which it was formed
and processes, such as climate. Soil pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity
of the soil. Acidic soils are considered to have a pH of 5.0 o...
