A forest has two groups of plants that appear to be very similar both phenotypically and genotypically. The major difference is

that one plant group releases its pollen in February, while the other group releases its pollen in April. Design a plan for collecting the data needed to determine whether the plants are members of one population with great diversity or members of two separate species.
be sure to include:

-the variables you plan to use
-a detailed description of the experiment
-how data would be collected
-how data would be analyzed

The basics would be that you'd need to find out if they could exchange genetic information. If not, they couldn't be considered part of one species. Set-up 2 artificial environments so both groups would produce pollen at the same time. Fertilise both plants with the other's pollen. Then fertilise the plants with pollen from their own group. 
Count the number of offspring each plant produces. 
If the plants which were fertilised by the opposite group produce offspring, they are of the same species. You can then take this further if they are of the same species by analysing if there is any difference between the number (and health) of offspring produced by the crossed progeny and by the pure progeny. You'd have to take into account that some of them would want to grow at different times, so a study of the progeny from their first sprout until death (whilst emulating the seasons in your ideal controlled environment). Their success could then be compared to that of the pure-bred individuals. 
Make sure to repeat this a few times, or have a number of plants to make sure your results are accurate. 
Or if you couldn't do the controlled environment thing, just keep some pollen one year and use it to fertilise the other group. 
I'd also put a hypothesis in there somewhere too. 
The independent variable would be the number of plants pollinated. The dependant variable would be the number of progeny (offspring) produced.

Fill in each blank with the type of energy being described
Sladkaya [172]

The sun gives off _solar___energy, which enters the atmosphere. Plants absorb some of the energy  and perform photosynthesis to convert it into_chemical__energy in the form of sugars. Plants and the  animals that eat them then turn that energy into a different form of _chemical___ energy, in the form of  ATP. When plants and animals use the energy, it becomes _heat_ energy.

The energy producing process for life starts with the use of solar energy by plants in photosynthesis. Green plants takes up solar energy from the sun and uses it to manufacture sugar and oxygen gas in the presence of carbon dioxide and water. The sugar stores chemical energy.

When the food produced by plant is eaten, during cellular respiration, the ATP formed from break down of the food is used to liberate heat energy. The bond between the second phosphate element is broken down and heat energy is released from the stored chemical energy.

This gives off carbon dioxide and water as the by product.

Where do you think evaporation would occur, the tropics or the subtropics?
Ierofanga [76]

It should occur in both but mostly the TROPICS because the higher amounts of heat which would make it easier to evaporate greater amounts and bodies of water.

Robert Koch is best known for which of the following contributions?
algol13

Robert Koch is best known for establishing a link between bacteria and disease.

Robert Koch was a German doctor that made an important contribution to the field of microbiology and public health. During his experiments he identified the particular microorganisms that cause diseases such as tuberculosis, cholera, and anthrax. Koch’s research resulted to the development of Koch's postulates, which are four general principles that links specific microorganisms (such as bacteria) to specific diseases and is being used today in medical microbiology as a standard.
