Chemicals extracted from certain sponges have been used in the treatment of cancer patients. Which of the following could be con

sidered a negative impact on the ocean environment from this type of biotechnology?
In the process of extracting the chemicals needed for the medicine, sponges will release toxins which harm the environment.
Humans may kill too many sponges, impacting the ocean environment in order to extract more of the chemicals.
Sponges provide habitats for other marine organisms, so killing them could harm the environment.

Answer:

B. Humans may kill too many sponges, impacting the ocean environment in order to extract more of the chemicals.

Explanation:

A and D are incorrect so it comes down to B and C. B is more correct than C because it is more detailed and has a better explanation while C is too vague. I also took the test and this came out as correct.

Domestic cattle often have interactions with wild animals. In South America,
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Bats are the only mammals that can fly, but vampire bats have an even more interesting distinction—they are the only mammals that feed entirely on blood.

Nocturnal Behavior

These notorious bats sleep during the day in total darkness, suspended upside down from the roofs of caves. They typically gather in colonies of about 100 animals, but sometimes live in groups of 1,000 or more. In one year, a 100-bat colony can drink the blood of 25 cows.

During the darkest part of the night, common vampire bats emerge to hunt. Sleeping cattle and horses are their usual victims, but they have been known to feed on people as well. The bats drink their victim's blood for about 30 minutes. They don't remove enough blood to harm their host, but their bites can cause nasty infections and disease.

Hunting for Blood

Vampire bats strike their victims from the ground. They land near their prey and approach it on all fours. The bats have few teeth because of their liquid diet, but those they have are razor sharp. Each bat has a heat sensor on its nose that points it toward a spot where warm blood is flowing just beneath its victim's skin. After putting the bite on an animal, the vampire bat laps up the flowing blood with its tongue. Its saliva prevents the blood from clotting.

Young vampire bats feed not on blood but on milk. They cling tightly to their mothers, even in flight, and consume nothing but her milk for about three months.

The common vampire bat is found in the tropics of Mexico, Central America, and South America.

Hope it helps!

Density-dependent factors include disease, competition, and predation. Density-dependant factors can have either a positive or a negative correlation to population size. With a positive relationship, these limiting factors increase with the size of the population and limit growth as population size increases.
