Actually I think I just figured them out. Thank you for your help though:)
You are dumb
smh
lol sorry:)
Question 4: The theory of evolution tells us that a population changes in response to a change in the environment. To get this answer, you need to understand the basic principles of evolution and how organisms adapt to their environment over time.
Question 5: Based on the description of the two turtles, Turtle X has a hard, sharp beak with a short neck, while Turtle Y has no beak and has a very long neck. Considering their physical characteristics, the correct typical diet for the two turtles would be Turtle X breaking nuts and digging for food on the ground, while Turtle Y reaches for food higher up on bushes and trees.
Question 6: Mutualism is an example of a relationship where both organisms benefit. To answer this question, you need to understand the different types of relationships between organisms and identify the one that involves mutual benefit.
Question 7: Parasitism is an interaction in which the host is harmed. To answer this question, you need to understand the different types of interactions between organisms and identify the one where the host is harmed.
Question 8: The theory of evolution is a theory and not a law because it explains how organisms change in response to the environment, rather than predicting which organism is best suited to the environment or being supported by a small amount of empirical evidence. To answer this question, you need to understand the difference between a theory and a law in science.
Question 9: The factors most likely to limit population growth in the Atacama desert are high temperature and low precipitation. To answer this question, you need to have knowledge about the specific environmental conditions of the Atacama desert and understand how those conditions would affect population growth.
Question 10: The most likely outcome variable (dependent variable) in the investigation studying the impact of the neck length of tortoises on survival rates in the Galapagos Islands would be the survival rate. To answer this question, you need to understand the difference between independent and dependent variables in a scientific investigation and determine which variable is being studied in relation to the other.
Question 11: The physical feature that is evidence supporting the evolution of Earth due to volcanic eruptions is the Hawaiian Islands. To answer this question, you need to have knowledge about the geological processes that create volcanic islands and understand how they provide evidence for the evolution of Earth.
Question 12: The description of the poison dart frog having bright skin that secretes a poisonous substance when it feels threatened describes a chemical defense adaptation. To answer this question, you need to understand the different types of adaptations organisms can have and identify the correct type based on the given description.
Question 13: The most likely outcome variable (dependent variable) for the study investigating the impact of fungal disease on the population of mountain yellow-legged frog in a recreational nature park would be the frog population. To answer this question, you need to understand the different variables in a scientific study and determine which variable is being studied to measure the impact of the fungal disease.
Question 14: The fossil that is the least similar to the modern-day man based on the given dates is the one that dates back to 2 million years ago. To answer this question, you need to understand the concept of fossil evidence and how it can be used to study the evolution of species over time.
Question 15: A control group serves as a reference for comparison during a scientific investigation. To answer this question, you need to understand the different components of a scientific investigation and identify which one serves as a reference for comparison.
Question 16: The discovery of 5,300-year-old Ötzi, the Iceman, has helped scientists in their knowledge by providing precise knowledge about his food and clothing. To answer this question, you need to understand the significance of Ötzi's discovery and how it has contributed to scientific knowledge.
Question 17: The natural process that most likely caused the formation of the Grand Canyon is erosion. To answer this question, you need to understand the geological processes that shape the Earth's surface and identify the one that is responsible for the formation of the Grand Canyon.
Question 18: If both organisms benefit from a relationship, the type of relationship that exists between them is mutualism. To answer this question, you need to understand the different types of relationships between organisms and identify the one where both organisms benefit.
Sorry, it is alot.
We do not do your homework for you. Although it might take more effort to do the work on your own, you will profit more from your effort. We will be happy to evaluate your work though.
