As part of your latest research program, you are studying the diet preference of the muntjack, a small deer-like animal that is a herbivore (eats only plants) The data for your initial experiment are listed below. The number indicates the number of muntjack observed eating different kinds of plants. Construct an appropriate graph for the presentation of these data.

In an experiment you grow three different experimental plant plots: a control (no herbivores or nutrients), plants with herbivores, and plants with added nutrients (herbivores still present). Given these results, describe what accurate conclusions can be drawn given the statistical differences represented.
You want to test whether a pesticide effectively controls (kills) yam beetles. You have access to the plants yam beetles eat, a greenhouse, the pesticide and yam beetles. How would you set up your experiment to determine if the pesticide could effectively kill the beetles? (Hint: think of your variables, what are some variable you'd control? what would you manipulate/vary? what would you measure?)
If you were to grow a Venus fly trap and provide it with a standard dose of chemical fertilizer, how would the abundance of traps change? Why? Increase because fertilizer helps plants grow larger Decrease because the plant doesn’t need traps to obtain these nutrients anymore Increase because now the plant will have an increased need for animals as food Decrease because the plant knows you will keep on fertilizing it
Using the following hypotheses, formulate a testable prediction for each. HYPOTHESIS: When planted alongside asparagus, marigolds will deter asparagus beetles. Prediction: HYPOTHESIS: Fertilizers increase the number of beans per plant. Prediction: HYPOTHESIS: More salts will dissolve in hot water than in cold water. Prediction:
In general, larger plants have larger organs. So, one option for increased yields is to breed and grow for the largest size possible. However, there are practical reasons to growing smaller plants. What are some drawbacks to breeding and growing increasingly large plants? List and briefly explain two possible reasons.
I need to figure out for question two on the first picture which had the best food source between a cheerio, pistachio, and a raisin.
A scientist designs an experiment to test the effect of fertilizer on the height of sugar cane. Two fields are fertilized and two other fields are not. What is the control group in this experiment? -fertilizer application -soil -the unfertilized fields -height of sugar cane -the farmer
A. Why do we need to test the null hypothesis instead of just proving an alternative hypothesis? B. You are testing the effect of a particular fertilizer on a plant's growth. Your control plants don't get fertilizer while your test plants do. What would be your hypotheses and the null hypotheses?
what will be the trend in the graph of a an experimental result of potato slides whose % initial weight are positive.
Fitness can be measured as seed set (seed production) Why is it important to measure fitness as seed production?
What is the importance of pollination syndrome in predicting the behavioral preferences in pollinators? Why? What other factors might play a role in influencing pollinator behavior?
Connor and Miguel want to investigate if the type of fertilizer changes the color of their hydrangea flowers. They select 10 hydrangea bushes and plant them in the same yard with the same type of soil. Every bush gets 3 cups of fertilizer, but each receiving a different brand. One bush gets no fertilizer. All bushes receive morning sunlight and no afternoon sunlight. All bushes are watered the same amount every other morning. After four weeks, the boys observe the color of the blooms on each bush.
