correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 44. 
Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effects of global warming. Scientists 
have already observed shifts in the lifecycles of many plants and animals, such as flowers blooming earlier and 
birds hatching earlier in the spring. Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migration 
patterns due to warmer temperatures. 
With further warming, animals will tend to migrate toward the poles and up mountainsides toward higher 
elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm. In 
many places, however, human development will prevent these shifts. Species that find cities or farmland 
blocking their way north or south may become extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as those 
found in polar and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not 
possible. For example, polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling 
sea ice but have nowhere farther north to go. 
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have estimated 
that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of further 
warming. The rate of warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some 
species and even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enough 
and may disappear. 
Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming. Warmer 
ocean temperatures can cause coral to “bleach”, a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral. 
Scientists estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of additional warming coul
