Predict and explain Gaussian surface A has twice the area of Gaussian surface B. Both surfaces enclose the same charge Q. Choose the best explanation from the following. (a) Gaussian surface B is closer to the charge, since it has the smaller area. It follows that it has the greater electric flux. (b) The two surfaces enclose the same charge and hence they have the same electric flux. (c ) Electric flux is proportional to the area Therefore , Gaussian surface A has the greater electric flux.

Which of the following is a reason for the greater biological diversity of tropical regions ? (a) Tropical latitudes have remained almost undisturbed for millions of years. (b) Tropical environments are less seasonal, relatively more constant and predictable. (c) More solar energy is available in the tropics, resulting in high productivity. (d) All of these

In the tropical rainforest, the majority of trees have showy animal-pollinated flowers. In temperate forests the majority of trees are wind pollinated. Which factors best explain these contrasting patterns ? (i) Wind is rare in tropical forests. (ii) Because of high species diversity in the tropics, individuals of trees species are often widely separated making wind an inefficient means of pollen dispersal. (iii) More opportunities for coevolved mutualisms exist in tropical forests because of the high diversity of animal species. (iv) Trees in tropical forests are mostly evergreen and year-round leaf canopies impede pollen dispersal by wind. (v) Flowering in tropical forests occurs over a short period of time when wind is absent. (a) (i) , (ii) and (v) (b) (i),(iii) and (v) (c) (ii), (iii) and (iv) (d) (ii) and (iv)
