E. All of these choices describe an environment.
Answer: E
Section: Environmental Science
Level: 1
Bloom’s Level: Understanding

B. the living surroundings in which an organism exists
C. the living and nonliving surroundings in which an organism exists

Essay
5. What does an environment include?
Section: Environmental Science
Level: 1
Bloom’s Level: Remembering
Feedback: An environment includes the biological (living) and physical (nonliving)
surroundings in which any given living organism exists.
6. What is environmental science, and what fields of study does it rely on?
Section: Environmental Science
Level: 1
Bloom’s Level: Remembering
Feedback: Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field of research that draws on
the natural (for example, ecology) and social sciences (for example, anthropology) as
well as the humanities (for example, literature) in order to understand the natural world
and our relationship to it.
7. Why are nonliving things included in the definition of an environment?
Section: Environmental Science
Level: 3
Bloom’s Level: Analyzing
Feedback: Nonliving things—such as rocks, water, and oxygen—are included in the
definition of an environment because although they are not living, they still have a
tremendous impact on the organic beings that do live in that environment. Imagine an
environment that contains several species of fish, some of which suddenly start to die off.
Now let’s say this die-off is caused by the temperature of the water rising in this
environment. If we didn’t consider water to be part of an environment, we would not
know to test the water for the possible cause of the fish dying.
Guiding Question 2
Why are both empirical and applied approaches useful in environmental science?
Multiple Choice
8. An example of applied science is:
A. designing a solar panel for increased efficiency.
B. observing chimpanzee behavior in a rainforest.
C. collecting ice core samples to determine carbon dioxide levels 100,000 years ago.
D. determining the diet of Greenland Vikings based on analysis of their garbage.
E. counting the number of geese on a pond.
Answer: A
Section: Empirical and Applied Science
