Textbook Question
Chapter 52.1, Problem 3CC
WHAT IF? → Changes in Earth's climate at the end of the last ice age happened gradually, taking centuries to thousands of years. If the current global warming happens very quickly, as predicted, how may this rapid climate change affect the evolution of long-lived trees compared with that of annual plants, which have much shorter generation times?

- WHAT IF? A peanut farmer finds that the older leavesof his plants are turning yellow following a long periodof wet weather. Suggest a reason why.arrow_forwardScientists have studied plant populations that have moved into areaswith low herbivory compared to the plant’s previous habitat. Aftermany generations in the new habitat, the plants produce fewerdefensive chemicals and grow larger than plants in the ancestralpopulation. How does natural selection explain these observations?(Hint: Producing defensive chemicals uses energy.)arrow_forwardIf only one half of the flora in the world existed in 2110 (perhaps due to deforestation), what do you predict the atmospheric carbon level would be ? How would you change the simulation to reflect this? What is the relationship between increased carbon in the ocean and increased carbon in the soil? How else might carbon be transferred to soil? Using the data generated by the simulation, determine the mathematical relationship between the percentage increase in fossil fuel consumption and the increase in atmospheric carbon. Is the relationship linear?arrow_forward
- EVOLUTION LINK Like stems in general, some vines are herbaceous and others are woody. Tropical rain forests have a greater diversity of vines than in any other environment on Earth, and most of these vines are woody. Develop a hypothesis to explain why natural selection has favored the evolution of more species of woody vines (as opposed to herbaceous vines) in tropical rain forests.arrow_forwardLesson: Perpetuation of Life Give at least five examples of genetic engineered plants/animals. a. b. c. d. e.
