- What tupe of succession will occur over time in this type of case ?arrow_forwardErnie's school has three greenhouses, located in three parts of the school. Ernie notices that the plants in one greenhouses are smaller than the same species in the other greenhouses. Ernie's biology teacher says she has been having a problem recently with growing plants in this particular greenhouse. Ernie's lab group decides to investigate factors such as light levels, temperature, and soil nutrients in the three greenhouses. They find that these are the same for all the rooms. What additional factors would you suggest testing for, and how would each of these factors affect the growth of plants? 20arrow_forwardHow do the authors of the study interpret the information shown in Figure 3? (Choose one.) Group of answer choices The speed (number of days) at which fig saplings die from wilting disease is much faster when the saplings are inoculated with two species of fungi at the same time, compared to only one of the species. The number of days which saplings survive is significantly longer when fig saplings are inoculated with C. ficicola and F. kuroshium at the same time, compared to just inoculated with C. ficicola. There were significantly higher densities of C. ficicola than of F. kuroshium found in plants suffering from fig wilt disease. The number of saplings dying from fig wilt disease was significantly higher in plants inoculated with C. ficicola than in plants inoculated with F. kuroshium plus C. ficicola.arrow_forward

In a shortessay (100–150 words), explain how the response of diatompopulations to a drop in nutrient availability can affect bothother organisms and aspects of the physical environment(such as carbon dioxide concentrations).arrow_forwardIn the space below, diagram generalized haplontic, diplontic, and alternation of generations life cycles. Make sure to indicate whether each stage in the life cycle is haploid or diploid, and unicellular or multicellular. Also write the stage's name (e.g., zygote, gametophyte, spore, etc.) if it has one. You don't need to draw the stages - e.g., for a zygote you can just write "zygote, unicellular, 2N". Also make sure to indicate where exactly in the life cycle meiosis takes place. Please draw and label these as possible clearly as Haplontic Diplontic Alternation of generationsarrow_forward

You will have three Planaria per team 1) Two "experimental" Planaria a Experimental Planaria #1: This Planarian will be cut into half (transverse plane: see figure below), that will result in two fragments with a front (anterior) and rear section (posterior). Every team in the class will do the same! (Why is it important to have experiments repeated multiple times?) b. Experimental Planaria #2: This Planarian will be cut in a manner determined by your team. 2) A "control" Planaria which will not be cut. Important things to remember: It is your responsibility to work in a cohesive manner with your team members. This project will span over three class periods. Each class period accounts for the following: o Day 1- Making cuts and recording measurements o Day…arrow_forward
