Select one:
O a. D (2nd trophic level, primary consumer)
O b. A (5th trophic level, quaternary consumer)
O c. C (3rd trophic level, secondary consumer)
O d. B (4th trophic level, tertiary consumer)

Asnail, elodea (aquatic plant), or both were added to the tubes and they were stoppered. tubes were placed under a grow light for 24 hours and the results recorded. the test tubes were then covered for 24 hours to produce a dark environment and the results recorded. which statement best explains the change in test tube d from the light setup to the dark setup.

Astudent reads the following text in a science book: scientific evidence tells us that the cause of earths four seasons is the tilt of earth as it revolves around the sound the student is instructed to illustrate this information in a science book. how will the student illustrate winter in the northern hemisphere? a.earths northern hemisphere will tilt away from the sun. b. earths northern hemisphere will tilt toward the sun. c.earths orbit will be farther away than from the sun d. earths southern hemisphere will tilt away from the sun.

To answer this question, researchers studied populations of the dusky salamander (desmognathus ochrophaeus) living on different mountain ranges in the southern appalachian mountains. the researchers tested the reproductive isolation of pairs of salamander populations by leaving one male and one female together and later checking the females for the presence of sperm. four mating combinations were tested for each pair of populations (a and b)—two within the same population (female a with male a and female b with male b) and two between populations (female a with male b and female b with male a). the proportion of successful matings for each mating combination was measured. for example, when all the matings of a particular combination were successful, the researchers gave it a value of 1; when none of the matings were successful, they gave it a value of 0. then the researchers calculated an index of reproductive isolation that ranged from 0 (no isolation) to 2 (full isolation). the reproductive isolation value for two populations is the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type within populations (aa + bb) minus the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type between populations (ab + ba). the table provides data for the geographic distances and reproductive isolation values for 27 pairs of dusky salamander populations.
