The generic name of poisonous chemicals, very often used in commercial agriculture that are used to kill organisms that either reduce the yield of crops or are harmful to animals are pesticides.

Pesticides are the chemicals used to kill the pests affecting the growth and yield of the crops. Pesticide is a broad term covering various small terms according to the pest being killed. For example insecticide, nematicide, avicide, rodenticide, bactericide, etc. Some chemicals used as pesticides are boric acid, Acephate, Deet, Propoxur, glyphosate, etc.

Commercial agriculture means growing of crops so as to sell them in the market to be utilized by the wide population of any area. Any crop can be grown at the commercial level. These crops do not reach the customers directly by the farmers, instead they are sold to whole-sellers first.

Factors that remain constant from experiment to experiment are the
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Factors that remain constant from experiment to experiment are the constants.

Explanation:

A constant in an experiment is also known as a <em>control variable</em>. It is the part of an experiment that must stay the same in order to validate the experiment. If the constant were to change, the results would be skewed and therefore false.

i.e. you want to test the rate of growth of lima bean plants in different types of lighting. You believe that a lima bean plant that grows in yellow will grow faster and stronger than a lima bean plant that grows in blue or red light.

In this experiment, the constant would be the lima bean plant. You cannot change the type of seed or else your experiment is invalidated. If you tried to use a sunflower seed in the blue lighting and a tomato seed in the red lighting, your results would be invalidated and skewed.

Why is it thought that advances such as agriculture, literacy, and urbanization have not been accompanied by additional increase
borishaifa [10]
I think the best answer is D. It is thought  that advances such as agriculture, literacy, and urbanization have not been accompanied by additional increases in brain size because the physiological cost of a bigger brain exceeds its benefit. The brain requires a lot of nutrients to function. Having a bigger brain would cost a lot rather than benefiting from it.
