- 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).

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

- 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_forwardPollution is an abiotic factor. How did air pollution affect the light-colored peppered moths? Pollution caused the trees to turn a darker color. The light-colored peppered moths were not able to camouflage themselves against the trees to protect themselves from birds. Pollution turned the light-colored moths a darker color, and they were unable to camouflage themselves against the light-colored trees. Pollution poisoned the moths, killing off the entire species. Pollution caused the trees to turn a lighter color. The light-colored peppered moths were able to camouflage themselves again the trees and protect themselves from birds.arrow_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
