The Virginia Meadowsweet, a plant native to the wetlands of Georgia, is the primary food source for the larvae of the Spring Azure Butterfly. The Virginia Meadowsweet plant population is becoming endangered due to the clearing of the wetlands for farming and construction. Many environmentalists claim that this disturbance will affect other populations in the ecosystem.

Which argument BEST supports the environmentalists’ claim?

A.
As the Virginia Meadowsweet plant population decreases, the butterfly population will decrease because the larvae will not have enough food to sustain their current population.

B.
As the Virginia Meadowsweet plant population decreases, the butterfly population will increase because the larvae will not have enough food to sustain their current population.

C.
As the Virginia Meadowsweet plant population decreases, the butterfly population will increase because the butterflies’ predators are being killed off as more land is cleared.

D.
As the Virginia Meadowsweet plant population decreases, the butterfly population will decrease because the butterflies’ predators are being killed off as more land is cleared.

Look at the possible derived shared characteristics, shown in the text box. Think about where these should be placed along the branching tree diagram. From the text box, select a shared derived characteristic that humans and rats have. Explain why you think humans and rats share this characteristic.

Answers

Answer:

Rats and Humans both live on land during all life stages.

Explanation:

I think this because rats don't live in water or anything like that during their lifetimes. Humans also don't live in water during their lifetimes. So that is how I know that they share living on land during all life stages characteristic.

Answer:

fact 1

Explanation:

1.) describe the amphibian life cycle. Include the different phases and traits of each phase.
2.) describe how baby reptiles are born and what they are like.

Answers

Answer:

1.) The Amphibian life cycle isn't as simple as it seems. The main Amphibian that has a longer process are called Frogs. Everyone knows frogs, but they are different from most animals such as turtles. The first stage of frogs are when their in eggs of course. These eggs are called "Tadpoles" and look different than most eggs. These eggs are kept in water until they grow. Which brings me to the next stage. When the tadpoles hatch you would start to see something like a baby fish swimming around. That's still the same tadpoles you saw before just hatched. When it comes to this topic most are confused because frogs don't have tails. Well during these stages a tail is used to help them survive in the water and move around. The third stage of these interesting creatures are when they grow legs. That's when they are able to walk on land. They still have their tail of course. It still helps them swim in water. I don't understand much about why they still have a tail if they've grown legs,  but that's for me to find out soon. Eventually they grow more and more and get better with their legs and lose the tail. Well the tail doesn't just magically disappear. It's actually absorbed  by using something called apoptosis. Then it's pretty much and adult frog.

2.) Most baby reptiles are grown in eggs. Another name for them would be "Amphibians". These little creatures are mostly kept in water or hidden underground for various reasons. Unlike turtles and lizards. Frog eggs are called "Tadpoles". They look like mini clear eyes. They also have a longer process than most animals which was explained in the first question!.

How do organisms adapt/survive decomposition?

Answers

Answer:

Decomposers can recycle dead plants and animals into chemical nutrients such as carbon and nitrogen that are released back into the soil, air and water as food for living plants and animals. So, decomposers can recycle dead plants and animals and help keep the flow of nutrients available in the environment.

Explanation:

Eventually, all living things die. And except in very rare cases, all of those dead things will rot. But that’s not the end of it. What rots will wind up becoming part of something else.
This is how nature recycles. Just as death marks the end of an old life, the decay and decomposition that soon follow provide material for new life.
“Decomposition breaks apart dead bodies,” explains Anne Pringle. She’s a biologist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass.

What is a scientific name of an organism?

Scientific names are the names that are given to a species of an organism, which is based on the binomial nomenclature given by  Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus. These names are given by the taxonomists while naming an organism at the species level.

A scientific name comprises 2 parts: The first part is the genus name or the generic name, while the second part is the name of the species. A third part can also be added, where the name of the scientist who first discovered the species is written. Example- Homo sapiens refers to modern human beings. It is written in italics and in which the initial letter of the genus name is capitalized. Therefore, the correct option is B.
