Why are fungal insecticides an attractive alternative to chemical pesticides for growing food crops? a. Human consumption of fungal insecticides would not make a person sick, but ingestion of chemical pesticides can be harmful to humans. b. A single fungal insecticide would kill a wider variety of insects than a chemical pesticide. c. Fungal insecticides can eliminate both harmful insects and plant pathogens, while chemical pesticides only kill insects. d. Fungal insecticides will decompose dying plants, enhancing the nitrogen content of the soil, while chemical pesticides are not decomposers.
How do mosses contribute to returning nitrogen to the soil? a. Mosses fix nitrogen from the air. b. Mosses harbor cyanobacteria that fix nitrogen. c. Mosses die and return nitrogen to the soil. d. Mosses decompose rocks and release nitrogen.

The seeds of the plants never touch the soil on the ground far below. The seed breaks open and rodts grow to support the plant as it grows. Stems begin to dimb upwards. Leaves spread to gather the light at the top of the tree. The heavy rain and humid air of Florida means that the plants can get all of the wwater they need right wihene they grow. These plants are commonly called "air plants." 19 What important process within air plants is most likely different compared to plants that live on the ground? A. making food B. growing leaves C. reproducing D. getting nutrients 20 "Spanish moss" is a common type of air plant that grows in Florida. However, the common name is not correct.
