Question 33 (2 points) Legal hunters in the United States are mostly interested in the intrinsic value of their prey often object to limits on the number of prey they can kill and times when they can hunt have opposed most laws that protect the very habitat where their prey survive pay hunting fees that help manage the populations of their prey Question 34 (2 points) The greatest human impacts on ocean ecosystems are concentrated in the northern hemisphere around South America around Australia in the eastern Pacific Question 35 (2 points) Within soil, a natural cycle of decomposers break down detritus to release nutrients used by consumers decomposers break down detritus to release nutrients used by producers decomposers break down nutrients to release detritus used by producers detritus breaks down decomposers to release nutrients used by producers

**Question 33** 1. Legal hunters in the United States are known for paying fees for licenses and tags. 2. These fees are generally used in wildlife management and conservation programs. 3. Therefore, legal hunters are most accurately described as those who \[ \text{pay hunting fees that help manage the populations of their prey.} \] **Question 34** 1. Human populations and industrial activities are concentrated to a greater extent in the northern hemisphere. 2. Ocean ecosystems in the northern hemisphere experience more intense anthropogenic impacts due to higher human population densities and industrial use. 3. Thus, the greatest human impacts on ocean ecosystems are concentrated \[ \text{in the northern hemisphere.} \] **Question 35** 1. In soil ecosystems, decomposers such as bacteria and fungi break down dead organic matter (detritus). 2. This process releases nutrients back into the soil, which are then taken up by plants (producers). 3. Therefore, the natural cycle in soil is best described as \[ \text{decomposers break down detritus to release nutrients used by producers.} \]
