Imagine the environment of an ecosystem changes such that it floods more often. Which species would most likely increase in numbers in this new environment? a flightless bird species that makes its nest on the ground a tree species that is tolerant of excess water a mammal species that burrows underground an insect species that lives on the leaves of short bushes

EFFECT OF SUGAR SOLUTION ON THE HEIGHT OF PLANTS Average Initial Height (centimeters) Plant Percent Sugar Solution Final Height (centimeters Group 2 30 10 2 28 15 30 10 40 (died 50 idied Jose does an experiment on the effect of different sugar solutions on the growth of plants. He watered different groups of the same type of plants with solutions of varying sugar percentages. Jose hypothesized that more sugar in a solution would cause plants to grow larger in the same amount of time. Based on the data table below, what can Jose best conclude about his hypothesis? O Jose's hypothesis is supported, plants grow larger given a more concentrated sugar solution O Jose's hypothesis is not supported, plants grow best when not exposed to any sugar solution O Jose's hypothesis is supported, plants grow larger given a less concentrated sugar solution O Jose's hypothesis is not supported, all plants die when exposed to any sugar solution
