A. True            B. False

50. The idea that poor countries would conserve their biological resources rather than develop them and in turn the poor country would be relieved of some of its financial obligations is known as a   A)debt for nature swap   B)biodiversity hot spots   C)gap analysis   D)GDP transfer

51. The biomagnification/bioaccumulation of DDT demonstrates that higher trophic level organisms can concentrate fat soluble toxins in greater quantities than lower trophic level organisms.

A. True            B. False

52. In theory risk assessment analysis includes:

A .the public’s perception of the issue   B. objective scientific understanding of the issue  

C. recognition of economic costs and benefits of the issue

D. all of the above      E. a and b but not c

Answer 1

49.- A) True. All of these lead to practicity and sustainability, which are the goals of Smart Growth

50.- A) Debt for nature swap. That is actually the definition of such swap

51.- A) True. This phenomenon occurs due to the high quantities of lower tropic level organisms eaten by the high level organisms. The low level ones consume the toxin and start accumulating it, when the high level organisms eat the lower organisms they start to sum up the toxins from each lower organism eaten, this phenomenon is called biomagnification. Even when both types of organisms are exposed to the same toxin levels in the environment, the higher ones will magnify such internal concentrations.

52.- D) All of the above. Public perception is used as a base to start with, then the objective focus from science takes place to correctly reach goals, and most of the main goals are relates to economic results evaluating costs and benefits obained.
