Chapter 56, Problem 56.4CR
Summary Introduction
To analyze: The reason to choose a healthier way to feed at a lower or a higher trophic level due to biological magnification caused by the accumulation of toxins.
Introduction: The study of the life cycle includes the effect of the accumulation of the toxic effects of pesticides at each trophic level of the biological chain. The first organisms include the bacteria and other microorganisms, which

Think about the Bucket Orchid's use of secondary metabolites. How does the Bucket Orchid use secondary metabolites to “manipulate” the bee’s activities? Carefully assess each event you see in the video. There is evidence for 5 specific and distinct ways that the orchid 'manipulates' the bees activities (so there are 5 distinct possible answers). Please briefly describe 4 uses of secondary metabolites by the orchid and make sure you are specific and each one is distinct from the others.

- One of the most widely known symbioses between microorganisms and plants is that of rhizobia and legumes. The basis of this mutualistic, symbiotic relationship can be described by which of the following statements? Actually, all of these are accurate descriptions of the symbiosis between rhizobia and plants. Rhizobia help the plants expand access to minerals in the soil while the plant protects the rhizobia from predators and viruses. The rhizobia will conduct photosynthesis which allow the plants to access carbon without having to deplete their own energy to do carbon fixation. The rhizobia fix nitrogen for the plant while the plant fixes carbon which it shares with the rhizobia. The rhizobia will produce oxygen which will help the soil to maintain oxygenation and thus avoid pathogens.arrow_forwardExplain the concept of biocontrol.
