27. The wetland plant purple loosestrife was imported to North America from Europe. Since its introduction, the loosestrife has spread, which has resulted in a dramatic decline in the biological diversity of native wetland plants and harmed the wetland ecosystem. A likely reason for the spread of the purple loosestrife is that it can A. successfully compete with native herbivores for food B. serves as an excellent food source for native herbivores C. successfully out competes with native plants for space D. prevent the migration of native plants 28. The best term to describe purple loosestrife would be A. non-native B. exotic C. invasive D. parasite 29. In some parts of the world, forests are being cut down and burned to clear land for new homes and new farmland. A negative effect of these activities might be A. an increase in edge effect B. a decrease in the average temperature of the atmsphere C. an increase in biodiversity of the deforested areas

Part A In Central America, it has been found that if natural forests are retained within and around coffee plantations, there are many benefits to the natural forests and to the farmers. Which of these factors is least likely to explain this "win-win" situation? O Leaving more natural forest increases the biodiversity at the genetic, species, and ecosystems levels in the entire area. O Leaving some of the natural forest is a win for farmers because the forest provides ecosystem services, such as pollination, that farmers rely on for a successful business. O Many of the natural forest species will be able to utilize the coffee plantation habitat. O If the natural forests can provide some valuable ecosystem functions like pest management, the farmers can use fewer pesticides that harm the environment. Submit Request Answer

2. The trophic relationships in real biological communities are much more complex than a simple food chain. These more complex trophic relationships are shown in a food web. This diagram shows a small part of a food web. Notice that the food web contains multiple food chains. A. Circle the organisms in one of the food chains in this food web. B. Label the producer in the food chain you circled. mountain lion C. Explain why the hawk in this food web is a trophic omnivore, even though it does not eat both plants and animals. deer atrod ugog 10ods nous W snake rabbit trees hawk mouse- grasses frog Z cricket bas to AnidT A 46

3. Potential ways to increase global food production for the human population (or as possible food supplements for livestock animals or pets) may include all of the following methods except: A. developing desert shrubs (like jojoba) that can be grown for edible oils in semi-arid regions B. developing disease-resistant hybrid plants (like triticale, a hybrid of wheat and rye) C. better conservation of scarce water reserves by reducing evaporation (like “drip" irrigation) D. increased production of food per acre, if more water and fertilizer can be supplied E. eating at higher trophic levels on the food chain (like more meat and fewer vegetables)

E 2安区 There are 50 species of parasitic wasps that prey on (eat) a wood-boring beetle. These wood-boring beetles kill the pine trees because their larva develop within and consume the tree if left unchecked by their predators. Three of these parasitic wasp species live in Forest A, while 47 of these parasitic wasp species live in Forest B. Corn farmers nearby have begun to use new pesticides. Assume that all the wood-boring beetles are protected from the pesticides by their woody homes. Is one forest less likely to see major losses of trees? If so, which one and why? Two sentences max.
