85. An ecologist collects three related beetle species – one from a tropical rain forest, another from a desert and the third from the tundra. Back in the lab, she places all the beetles in a warm, dry environmental chamber and measures water loss across the cuticle. From highest to lowest rate of water loss, how would you expect the three species to rank?a. tropical rain forest > desert > tundrab. desert > tundra > tropical rain forestc. tundra > desert > tropical rain forestd. desert > tropical rain forest > tundrae. tropical rain forest > tundra > desert

1Which of the following is NOT a consequence of global climate change? coral bleaching more ice at the North and South Poles increases in diseases such as malaria and dengue fever rising sea levels 2How do scientists determine the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide that existed on Earth hundreds or thousands of years ago? They deduce it from the carbon dioxide content of fossil fuels. They measure it from bubbles of gas trapped in Antarctic ice cores. They estimate it from the numbers of carbon-based life forms that existed over time. They calculate carbon dioxide levels from the temperature records. Scientists do not know the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide thousands of years ago. 3The two factors that are responsible for the climate of an area are: the number and size of different kinds of species the position of the area in relation to island chains the elevation of the area, and its tree cover the amount of rainfall and temperature. the…
