Write all your answers in the Free Response booklet. Where calculations are required, clearly show how you arrived at your answer. Where explanation or discussion is required, support your answers with relevant information and/or specific examples. You may plan your answers in this orange booklet, but no credit will be given for anything written in this booklet. You will only earn credit for what you write in the separate Free Response booklet.  \n1. Researchers are studying the stream ecosystem shown in the following diagram. They have identified five different zones based on the dissolved oxygen levels and biological oxygen demand as the water flows downstream. Biological oxygen demand is the amount of oxygen needed by bacteria and other microorganisms to break down organic material in water. Some of the most common fish and macroinvertebrate species found in each zone are listed in the diagram.  \nDissolved Oxygen and Biological Oxygen Demand in a Stream Ecosystem  \n© 2024 College Board.

Researchers counted the number of macroinvertebrate species in zones A, B, and C during the summer months. The researchers selected zone A to serve as the control in the investigation.  \n(d) Identify the dependent variable in the researchers’ investigation.  \n(e) Identify a testable hypothesis for the researchers’ investigation.  \n(f) Describe the reason the researchers selected zone A to serve as the control in the investigation. The researchers decided to repeat their data collection during the winter months.  \n(g) Explain how the modification to collect data in the winter months could alter the results of the investigation.  \nStream ecosystems are affected by point-source organic pollution in a variety of ways.  \n(h) Describe the effect that the introduction of raw sewage into the stream could have on the population of bacteria in the stream.  \n(i) Identify an abiotic factor other than dissolved oxygen and organic pollution that could also influence the population size of bacteria in the stream.  \n(j) Explain how persistent organic pollutants can affect higher trophic levels in an aquatic food web.  \nBegin your response to this question at the top of a new page in the separate Free Response booklet and fill in the appropriate circle at the top of each page to indicate the question number.  \n© 2024 College Board.  \nVisit College Board on the web: [collegeboard.org](collegeboard.org).  \n3 GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE.  \nAP® Environmental Science 2024 Free-Response Questions  \n2.
