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.

First, a plant without a nitrogen-fixing relationship, such as corn, is planted. After the harvest, a nitrogen-fixing plant replaces the initial crop. Instead of harvesting the nitrogen-fixing plant, however, it is plowed under. The cycle continues in this manner. Why would nitrogen-fixing plants be plowed under instead of harvested?  a) To increases usable nitrogen in the soil. b) To increase water retention. c) Nitrogen-fixing plants are not a food crop. d) To decrease bacteria in the soil.arrow_forwardIn a desert ecosystem, small mammals eat plants and snakes eat small mammals.
