- write in 5 paragraphs answer this Plants and animals both arose in the seas and moved onto land during evolution. This move to land required the evolution and adaptation of several key features to survive in a dry environment (versus being surrounded by water). Compare and contrast different mechanisms to avoid desiccation in Kingdom Plantae and Kingdom Animalia.arrow_forwardPart A) Ecology is defined as the interaction of organisms and their environment. An example(s) of environmental conditions is/are: temperature nutrients sunlight all of these. Part B)DR TJ freaks out because she doesn’t hear any cicadas singing in January. If she understood the biology of these animals she would know that was because adult cicadas do not emerge from underground until summer! Dr TJ should have a better understanding of the importance of ___ in studying ecology. timing spatial distributions none of these Part C)If I read 50 papers on phenotypic plasticity in sea stars and they all showed that these animals exhibit behaviors that allow them to persist under temperature stress, this would be an example of ____ in science. detection measurement repeatabilityarrow_forwardA tree is an example of ____ will rabbits eat grass and other plants this makes them _____arrow_forward
- Predators are animals that hunt pray for food. If the predator is a wolf and the prey is a deer , the wolf would be considered a _____ and the deer who only eats plants would be considered a _____arrow_forwardDeforestation can have many local effects. For example, is the amount of light that is reflected off of a surface. This is of importance because dark surfaces are required to absorb incoming light to maintain the local area's normal temperature. precipitation albedo mesoderm carotenoids reflectionarrow_forwardmockingbird millipedes root-knot nematodes - tiger beetle fungal and bacterial feeding nematodes raccoon horse hair parachute fungus- dead grass stems, leaves or pine needles bacteria amoeba- predatory nematodes Question 7.a Define the term ecosystem and give another example.arrow_forward

- Use the image below to answer questions 2-3. As part of his series of experiments, Connell removed one species of barnacle from around the other species and examined how well the intact barnacle species survived in different locations along the intertidal zone. The following diagram shows the results of this study. Yes 14444 Does the removal of Balanus affect the distribution of Chthamalus? O No Balanus-removal Sites 10000 t Chthamalus-removal Sitesarrow_forwardThis beetle species has two colors, brown and green. These beetles are normally found in muddy fields where there are patches of green grass as well as patches of brown dirt. Both the green and brown beetles have places in these fields where they are camouflaged from predators. But there is a very dry summer and all of the green grasses turn brown. Now, the fields where the beetles live are all brown. The green beetles are now much easier for the predators to see. Over many months, predict how this population of beetles might evolve through natural selection. Make sure to include all of the principles of natural selection (VCAR). Principles: Variation: slight differences amongst individuals in the population Competition: for an environment's resources Adaptation: the advantage some members of the population have over others in the population Reproduce: organisms that survive will increase in numberarrow_forwardShrimp fishing off the coast of Georgia was closed in 2001, due to a drastic reduction in the shrimp population. Landings of blue crab plummeted in 2002 and 2003, as five years of drought and greatly reduced freshwater flow from underground aquifers led to increased salinity in coastal estuaries. These habitats between open ocean and fresh water are the “nurseries’ for many marine animals. Using information you learned in this lab, speculate about possible causes for the decline in shrimp and blue crab populations.arrow_forward
