Farmers want to release a non-native insect in the fields that feeds on weeds. Before they do this, they consult a team of scien

tists and ask them to conduct a study that will determine the insects' effects on the farm land. Which statement best describes why farmers need the information from this study?
A. Farmers do not know much about insects; they would need to consult a team of scientists to answer questions such as where to get the insects, how to release them, and how to maintain control of the insect population after release.

B. It is important to do this study so that farmers will understand all the positive and possible negative results of releasing this new insect into the area so that they can make a decision on whether or not the benefits are worth the risks.

C. It is illegal to release new insects into an area. The farmers understand that if the study is conducted and the insects cause unexpected problems, the scientists would be held responsible for any resulting fines or fees.

D. The scientists will be able to tell the farmers if the insects will eat the weeds. Before the farmers spend the money on this project, they want to be assured the results will meet their expectations.

Answer: A. Farmers do not know much about insects; they would need to consult a team of scientists to answer questions such as where to get the insects, how to release them, and how to maintain control of the insect population after release.  

A non-native insect species will be the one which is introduced from different location either through immigration or by human introduction. In the given situation, as the farmers are planning to introduce non-native insects to remove the weeds, the farmers are not agricultural scientists or ecologists who could study the consequences of the introduction of the non-native insect species on the weed or other crops. The insects may either remove the weeds or may not cause any harm to the weeds. These insects may also kill the important crop producing plants.

Therefore, Farmers do not know much about insects; they would need to consult a team of scientists to answer questions such as where to get the insects, how to release them, and how to maintain control of the insect population after release is the correct reason why farmers need the information from this study.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Both are only physical changes

Explanation:

A physical change is a change that does not involve or alter the chemical composition of the substances involved. Physical changes form no new substance and can be easily separated into individual constituents. Example of physical changes are change in state, boiling, melting etc.

According to this question, two processes were given as follows:

1. mixing chocolate syrup into milk

2. rain forming in a cloud

These two processes are similar in the sense that they are both examples of physical changes.

While trees are not the largest level in the pyramid of numbers, they are still the base for both the pyramids of biomass and py
Oxana [17]
It is true because <span>A pyramid of biomass is a representation of the amount of energy contained in biomass, at different trophic levels for a given point in time . The amount of energy available to one trophic level is limited by the amount stored by the level below. Because energy is lost in the transfer from one level to the next, there is successively less total energy as you move up trophic levels. Tree is a base as it provides food and energy.</span>

Must all species reproduce in order for the species to survive?
Airida [17]

ANSWER:

the correct answer is D.Yes; without reproduction, once the living organisms died, there would be no offspring to replace them.

TIP: bc if a species dies and it doesnt reproduce that species will go extinct, and remember every specie plays a role in life (but they are some animals that dont and are just a threat to the world). so reproducing is the only way to keep their generation going!
