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?)
Psychology In “Clean Trade in Natural Resources,” Leif Wenar gives us a new way to look at the resource curse. What, exactly, does Wenar force us to see? How does his novel approach change the way we look at the resource curse? In “Clean Trade in Natural Resources,” Leif Wenar advances two main policy recommendations to combat the resource curse. Outline and explain these recommendations. Why, according to Wenar, are these policy tools necessary?
In ecological systems, a rough rule of thumb is that when energyis transferred from plants to plant-eaters or from preyto predator, the efficiency is only about 10% (p. 72). Muchof this inefficiency is a consequence of the second law ofthermodynamics. Another way to think of this is that eating 1calorie of material from an animal is the ecological equivalentof eating 10 calories of plant material.Humans are considered omnivores because we can eat bothplants and animals. Our food choices have significant ecologicalimpacts. With this in mind, calculate the ecologicalenergy requirements for four different diets, each of whichprovides a total of 2000 dietary calories per day. How many ecologically equivalent calories would it taketo support you for a year, for each of the four diets listed?

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.
The independent variable in this experiment is A. the amount of light the plants receive. B. the amount of chlorophyll in the plant leaves.
Imagine a sealed terrarium containing a plant and a beetle. How does each organism provide resources for the other? Could each organism survive if it was the only living thing in the terrarium? Why or why not?
The graph is here to help answer the question. Right now, a lot of biofuel is made from corn grain. If society were to switch to biofuels made from grass, which of the following statements correctly states the overall difference in energy input per hectare of crop? A. Society would use about the same amount of energy in crop growth. B. Society would use about 90% more energy per hectare of crop. C. Society would use about 90% less energy per hectare of crop.
Question 2) : You observe a species ingesting a plant that has some medical benefits. What simple experiment could you do to find out if that behavior is a genetically determined biological adaptation or a medical practice? (hint: your answer should also contain what the difference between the two is)
Can you help me with this pattens in biomass in ecosytems work for my bio class so basically so the meadow simulation to put data on the tables and then sketch the results on the graph thingy and then answer the question
Imagine an elaborate ant farm with tunnels andpassageways through the sand where ants live in a largecommunity. Now imagine that an earthquake shook theground and demolished the ant farm. In which of thesetwo scenarios, before or after the earthquake, was theant farm system in a state of higher or lower entropy?
