Multiple choice (one answer is correct) a. The food eaten by the female parent as a caterpillar determines the different caterpillar morphologies.b.Temperature determines the different caterpillar morphologies.c.Day length determines the different caterpillar morphologies.d. Food type determines the different caterpillar morphologies. A species of moth lays eggs on oak trees in spring and summer. Spring caterpillars eat oak floweand look like oak flowers. Summer caterpillars eat oak leaves and look like twigs. To investigatehow the same population of moths can produce such variable caterpillars, a researcher collectedeggs from a population of moths and allowed them to hatch and grow under the conditions shoin the table below.TreatmentTemperature Day LengthFood1Spring-likeSpring-likeOak flowers2Spring-likeSpring-likeOak leaves3Spring-likeSummer-like Oak flowers4Spring-likeSummer-likeOak leaves5Summer-likeSpring-likeOak flowers6Summer-likeSpring-likeOak leaves7Summer-like Summer-like Oak flowers8Summer-like Summer-likeOak leavesWhich of the following statements is NOT a testable hypothesis in the described experiment?

. SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY You are testing the hypothesis thatincreased population density of a particular plant speciesincreases the rate at which a pathogenic fungus infectsthe plant. Because the fungus causes visible scars on theleaves, you can easily determine whether a plant is infected.Design an experiment to test your hypothesis. Describe yourexperimental and control groups, how you would collect data,and what results you would see if your hypothesis is correct.

The Lazy River Environmental Group is a group of fishermen and environmentalists that have worked to assess and clean up the pollution from an old factory on the Lazy River. One early study revealed that species on the river had absorbed pollutants from the water. Select the Pollutant Levels in Tissue, by Species dataset and follow the interactive to graph the data. Which statement(s) correctly describe the graph? (Check all that apply.) The two species with highest levels are both fish.The two species with highest levels are both fish. Turtles had a pollutant level about three times that of clams.Turtles had a pollutant level about three times that of clams. No invertebrate (excludes fish and turtles) had a level above 0.05 ppm.No invertebrate (excludes fish and turtles) had a level above 0.05 ppm.
