Aphids can feed in the leafy treetops (or tree canopies). Ants are usually not abundant in the tree canopies unless aphids are a

lso present. You introduce aphids to an area of the tree canopy and survey the abundance of ants over time.
True or False:

1. You would expect ant abundance to decrease over time.

2. You continue your experiments by taking one of the trees in the canopy and removing all of the ants. If the ants and aphids are in a mutualistic relationship that strongly benefits them both, you expect the aphid population will decrease in size in response to the lack of ants.

3. The best control for your experiment in the question directly above is a tree in which you add a second ant species and you measure the abundance of the first ant species over time.

Please help!!! Thanks!

Answer No 1: False

No, we will not expect the ant population to decrease over time. This is because in our experiment we have included aphids to an area of tree canopy. We expect to see an abundance in the ant population as the population of aphids is increased. We expect these results on the basis of our previous observations.

Answer No 2: True

As seen by our observation that the number of ants increase if we increase the number of aphids, we can deduce that the ants might have a mutualistic relationship with the aphids. As a result, if we remove ants from a tree, the aphids will also decrease from the tree.

Answer No 3: False

Our control in this experiment cannot be two different species of ants as we are studying the mutualistic effects of ants and aphids. Hence, introducing two types of ants will have nothing to do with our hypothesis.

Select the correct statement(s):
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The correct option is B <em>Pressure-sensitive baroreceptors uses tonic receptors which adapt slowly to the stimulus</em>

Explanation:

a. The thalamus receives stimulus from all of the five senses (sight, smell, taste, hear, touch). FALSE. Olfactory information is not sent to the thalamus for its process. The rest is.  

b. Pressure-sensitive baroreceptors uses tonic receptors which adapt slowly to the stimulus. TRUE. Among the different types of tonic receptors, we may find baroreceptors, irritation receptors, tactile receptors, and proprioceptors. Tonic receptors characterize by their slow adaptation to the stimulus. The first discharge is maximal when the stimulus is received and then it progressively decreases. They send a continuous signal to the CNS.

c. The three layers that the retina is made of: photoreceptors, bipolar cells, rod cells. FALSE. There are in fact three layers in the retina: photoreceptors, bipolar cells, and ganglion cell layers. NOT rod cells.  

d. The sense of smell uses phasic receptors which continuously fire as long as the stimulus is present. FALSE. Olfactive sense uses phasic receptors, but not continuously. These receptors shoot when they receive the stimulus, and then cease if the stimulus keeps constant.

A potential benefit of recruiting slow oxidative fibers for contraction before recruiting fast oxidative and fast glycolytic fib
Umnica [9.8K]
The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be this: A potential benefit of recruiting slow oxidative fivers for contraction before recruiting fast oxidative and fast glycolytic fibers might be because they are slower to respond, slow oxidative fibers must be stimulated first in order contract simultaneously with the faster fibers. Hope this answer helps.
