A plant biologist observed a peculiar pattern when a tropical shrub was attacked by caterpillars. After a caterpillar ate a leaf, it would skip over nearby leaves and attack a leaf some distance away. Simply removing a leaf did not deter caterpillars from eating nearby leaves. The biologist suspected that an insect-damaged leaf sent out a chemical that signaled nearby leaves. How could the researcher test this hypothesis?
4. As fruit ripens it emits a chemical called ethylene, which attracts fruit flies. The flies damage the fruit, causing more odor to be released. As this happens, more flies are attracted to the fruit. Of what response is this an example?a. Positive feedbackb. Negative feedbackc. Homeostasisd. Equilibrium 5. Which scenario is an example of a negative feedback response?a. a mouse running away from a predatorb. a baby shivering because it is coldc. a plant bending toward a light source d. a flower growing in a nutrient-rich soil 9. Which of the following best describes tropism?a. Tropism is the response of a plant to grow toward or away from a stimulus.b. Tropism is the mechanism by which a plant increases its cell division and growth.c. Tropism is the response of a plant to external stimuli via its nervous system.d. Tropism is the movement of a plant toward a more hospitable environment. 10. What happens when a stem is positively tropic to a certain stimulus? a. Auxins will respond by…

A biologist finds that a plant is being attacked by beetle larva, which eats flowers. Later that same day, she observes that the air around the plant has an unusual "chemical" odour. Next day, she sees that there are many wasps stinging the caterpillars on the flowers. Give the most likely explanation for this observation and explain the underlyingconcept clearly.

Beavers are nocturnal and therefore, eat mainly during the night. Beavers normally eat the bark of trees, leaves, twigs, lily roots and the buds of deciduous trees. How do the claws of the beaver help it to compete for its food? A) The beaver's claws help it to dig holes to search for animals hiding underground. B) The beaver's claws help it to hide its face when predators are near. C) The beaver's claws help it to feel for food in the grass in the darkness of the night. D) The beaver's claws help it to climb high into trees to obtain its food.
