In the 1960s, bald eagles in the United States were at the brink of extinction. Scientists discovered that this was due to habitat loss, illegal hunting, and the use of the pesticide DDT, which caused the eagles' egg shells to thin and break before chicks were fully developed. As a result of this understanding, DDT was banned in 1972. In addition, the Endangered Species Act, which protected the eagles' habitat and led to captive breeding programs, was passed in 1973. In 2007, bald eagles were taken off the threatened species list, and there are now more than 71,000 breeding pairs in the contiguous United States. Which of the following statements is best illustrated by the information provided in the passage? Choose 1 answer: Before an environmental problem is fully understood, groups of individuals can discuss and brainstorm ideas about how to solve the problem. When the source of an environmental problem is recognized, human activities can be regulated to mitigate their impacts. While an environmental problem is being studied, individuals can make their own choices to help address the problem.

Procedure A. Applying the terms of science → The following fictional experiment demonstrates the use of the scientific method. Many people in the small Midwestern town of Hootville are stricken with the disease "Buggo." Most of those who get sick recover in seven to nine days. Buggo has been shown to be caused by a bacterium (single for bacteria) called "Gotcha." Antibiotic "X" is a new drug that has been shown to kill Gotcha bacteria in a test tube. Antibiotic X was also found to cure dogs that were sick with Buggo. 3 #m Researchers decided to test the new drug on some of the people in Hootville. They hypothesized that the drug would effectively cure Buggo in humans. They decided that if they gave patients Antibiotic X, the patients would recover more quickly than those who did not take the antibiotic. The researchers prepared tablets containing Antibiotic X. They also prepared a second batch that contained all the same ingredients (inactive ingredients) as Antibiotic X without any…

Frequency All changes saved 17. Prior to 1800 in England, the typical moth of the species Biston betularia (peppered moth) had a light pattern. Dark-colored moths were rare. By the late nineteenth century, the light-colored moths were rare, and the moths with dark patterns were abundant. The cause of this change was hypothesized to selective predation by birds (Tutt, 1896). During the Industrial Revolution, soot and other wastes from industrial processes killed tree lichens and darkened tree trunks. Thus, prior to the pollution of the Industrial Revolution, dark moths stood out on light-colored trees and were vulnerable to predators. With the rise of pollution, however, the coloring of moths vulnerable to predators changed to light. Which aspect of Darwin's theory evolution does the story of the peppered moth most clearly illustrate? O The majority of characteristics of organisms are inherited. O There is great variability among members of a population. O There is differential…

Chronic exposure to neonicotinoids reduces honey bee health near corn crops Experiments linking neonicotinoids and declining bee health have been criticized for not simulating realistic exposure. Here we quantified the duration and magnitude of neonicotinoid exposure in Canada's corn-growing regions and used these data to design realistic experiments to investigate the effect of such insecticides on honey bees. Colonies near corn were naturally exposed to neonicotinoids for up to 4 months - the majority of the honey bee's active season. Realistic experiments showed that neonicotinoids increased worker mortality and were associated with declines in social immunity and increased queenlessness over time. We also discovered that the acute toxicity of neonicotinoids to honey bees doubles in the presence of a commonly encountered fungicide. Our work demonstrates that field-realistic exposure to neonicotinoids can reduce honey bee health in corn-growing regions. Which of the following…
