Question

Transcribed Image Text:While out on a hike you encounter an acacia tree covered in ants. The ants seem
to be nesting on the tree and attack other insects that try to graze on it. Based on
your observations you can conclude that;
The ants are parasites of the tree
The tree is producing secondary compounds to defend itself
The ants are commensalists and are having no effect on the tree
The acacia is in a specialized mutualism with the ants and is a myrmecophyte

Some farmers, especially those who grow produce at a smaller scale, use pesticides sparingly. For example, fruit trees are susceptible to disease in northeastern regions, especially at the blossom stage. An apple or peach grower may spray their fruit trees with a fungicide once in the spring to ensure that the fruit sets, but use no further chemicals for the rest of the season. For many large row crop farmers, on the other hand, regular pesticide use is as much a part of farming as planting seeds. Spraying Roundup on a field of corn genetically engineered to withstand the chemical kills! the weeds without affecting the corn. In comparison to mechanically weeding hundreds or thousands of acres, using pesticides is a game-changer. Some farmers spray their…arrow_forward
