How does the cell wall protect a plant cell? The cell wall is thick and fibrous and provides a barrier between the cell and its external environment. The cell wall does not protect the cell because the cell membrane does. The cell wall is thin and flexible, which allows the cell to be moved without harming the organelles. The cell wall is on the inside of the cell and serves to contain the contents of the cell.

Afarmer has applied a pesticide to control a pest population that is affecting her crops. the pest population has reacted as shown below. which best describes the process that the pest population has experienced due to this environmental change? a genetic diversity b natural selection c natural resistance d genetic resistance

Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease first identified in 1998 as a cause of massive amphibian deaths. in some severely impacted populations, a few individuals have survived, perhaps because of some natural resistance. if these resistant individuals continue to survive and prosper, new resistant populations might emerge. this would be an example of the founder effect artificial selection genetic drift natural selection sexual selection
