Data Collection Timing:Data on survival rate, developmental time, and morphological abnormalities should be collected throughout the experiment, from the larvae stage until adult emergence. Developmental time should be recorded daily, while survival rate and morphological abnormalities should be recorded upon adult emergence. . Qe Extension Question: In your own words, explain the logic behind why the scientists think fungicides are causing bee declines. Are they concerned that the fungicide is directly harming the bees or bee larvae? Answer (Scored on accuracy 2 pts): The scientists believe that fungicides are causing bee declines because they may be indirectly harming the bees by reducing the availability of their food sources and weakening their immune systems. Fungicides are commonly used to protect crops from fungal diseases, but they can also kill the beneficial fungi that bees rely on to digest their food. This can lead to a decrease in the nutritional value of the pollen and nectar that bees collect, which can weaken their immune systems and make them more susceptible to diseases and other stressors. | Time 3:46 Embedded Questions Shawn plotted the data in a bar graph with two bars: one representing the number of bees per colony in the control cages and the other representing the number of bees per colony in the cages exposed to the fungicide. If the results support the hypothesis that fungicides harm bee development, what would you expect this bar graph to show? Describe the expected pattern in a few sentences. Answer (Scored on completion 2 pts): If the results support the hypothesis that fungicides harm bee development, we would expect the bar graph to show a lower number of bees per colony in the cages exposed to the fungicide compared to the control cages. The difference between the two bars should be significant enough to suggest that the fungicide has a negative impact on bee development. Additionally, the bars should be labeled clearly to indicate which bar represents the control group and which bar represents the group exposed to the fungicide. Time 4:03 Embedded Questions Are the results consistent with what you expected? i Answer Yes or No (Scored on completion 1 pt): Yes | What do you conclude from this experiment? Write your conclusion in a few sentences. Answer (Scored on completion 2 pt): | can conclude that fungicide may have had a negative impact on the number of individuals within the bee colonies because the test of the control is 31.0 more than the fungicide. Extension Questions: Statistics not a focus in this lab. Try your best on the questions below. This website may be helpful. https://www.biologvforlife.com/interpreting-error—bars.html. g e S In the bar graph, the error bars (white lines extending above and below each bar) represent 95% confidence intervals. Explain what 95% confidence intervals are and why the scientist may have wanted to show them on this graph. Answer (Scored on completion 1 pts): The scientist may have wanted to show the confidence intervals on the bar graph to convey the reliability of the data. By including the error bars, the scientist is indicating the range within which they are confident that the true population parameter lies. Based on the error bars in this graph, are you confident that there is a difference between the control and fungicide plots? Explain your answer. Answer (Scored on completion 1 pts): Yes, | am confident that there is a difference between the control and fungicide as the error bars don't touch. Time 4:35 Embedded Questions
