Textbook Question
Chapter 33, Problem 19TYK
A plant biologist observed a peculiar pattern when a tropical shrub was attacked by caterpillars. After a caterpillar ate a leaf, it would skip over nearby leaves and attack a leaf some distance away. Simply removing a leaf did not trigger the same change nearby. The biologist suspected that a damaged leaf sent out a chemical that signaled other leaves. How could this hypothesis be tested?

Using scientific concepts and terms describe how the Bucket Orchid can temporarily “hold” onto the bee’s body while it glues the pollen sacs to the bees back. In other words, what type of plant “movement” (aka. response) would this most likely be described as? Please watch the YouTube link to answer the question.

Design a detailed experiment that would support the hypothesis that plants engineered to contain genes for an insect toxin against insects is safe for human consumption? Why might your results not support the hypothesis?
Some plants in wetter climates release certain chemicals in response to leaf consumption by insects. These chemicals may either repel the leaf-eaters and/or attract other insects that will consume the leaf-eaters. A researcher was interested in whether desert plants emitted the same types of compounds. Desert plants have different kinds of leaves compared to plants from less arid areas. The researcher harvested Coville’s lip fern (Cheilanthes covillei) from deserts in Utah to bring into a greenhouse. The plants were 12 – 15 cm (5 – 6 in) tall. Each plant was placed in a separate pot, and there were 40 pots in all. Each pot was assigned to one of four “leaf eater” treatments: a control (i.e., no insects); 5 hornworms; 5 leaf bugs; or 5 flea beetles. Then the researcher measured the emission rate of a particular repelling compound from each plant once every hour for a total of 8 hours (8:00 am – 4:00 pm). Based on this scenario, please answer the following questions:
a) What is the…

Suppose the ability of a female to adjust her egg and clutch size is an adaptation in these butterflies.
