Parte V.- Entendiendo el texto “Ecology”, responda las siguientes preguntas en inglés. 1 punto c/u. Total: 4 puntos.


a) Is Ecologythe scientific study of rock formations?
Ecology or ecological science is the scientific study of the distribution and abundance of living organisms and how these properties are affected by interactions between the organisms and their environment


b) Is Biology the general science that studies living organisms only?



c) Can organisms be studied at many different levels?

Organismscan be studied at many different levels, from proteins and nucleic acids (in biochemistry and molecular biology), to cells (in cellular biology), to multicellular systems (in physiology and anatomy, to individuals (in botany, zoology, and other similar disciplines), and finally at the level of populations, communities, and ecosystems, and to the biosphere as a whole.

d) Is Ecology said to be amultidisciplinary science?

Ecology is a multi-disciplinary science. Because of its focus on the higher levels of the organization of life on earth and on the interrelations between organisms and their environment, ecology draws heavily on many other branches of science, especially geology and geography, meteorology, petrology, chemistry, and physics. Thus, ecology is said to be a holisticscience, one that overarches older disciplines, such as biology, which in this view become sub-disciplines contributing to ecological knowledge.











Natural Gas Story.

Hi, my name is Sniffasaurus, but you can call me Sniffy. As a dinosaur, (1) I know a lot about natural gas and how (2) it heats your home. Now, you're probably asking yourself, "Why would a dinosaur knowanything about the way my house is heated?" My story starts millions of years ago. When the dinosaurs died, (3) their bones were buried under rocks and dirt along with other living plants and animals. After millions of years, heat and pressure changed the organic matter into natural gas. Natural gas is found in porous rock layers, a lot like sponges, called gas reservoirs.





We get natural gasout of the ground.

We drill for natural gas. It can take several weeks to drill a gas well as (4) they are as much as 3 miles deep - here in Colorado most wells are being drilled in the Denver/Greeley area and are about 1 1/2 miles deep. Natural gas is buried under a lot of pressure, deep in the ground so all they have to do is lower a pipe in the well and the pipe acts like a straw to float orpull the gas to the surface.

Do you know what natural gas looks like?

Natural gas is like the air - you can’t see (5) it, feel it, taste it or smell it. If you poured gasoline out of a can, you would have a puddle of gas. Natural gas is not a liquid. It's a gas. It is delivered to your home, school and everywhere else in pipes.
