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.
Sponges regenerate, so extracting these chemicals could cause the sponges to overpopulate and have a negative impact on the marine 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.

Which statement is FALSE? A. Phototropism and geotropism are adaptations of plants that allow for survival. B. Tropism is the gr
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

A. Phototropism and geotropism are adaptations of plants that allow for survival.

Explanation:

Ideally, TROPISM is the growth response of plants to their environment due to external stimuli as rightly stated in this question. However, based on what stimulus the plant is responding to, there are different types of stimulus.

Phototropism (photo-light) is the response of an organism to a light source while Geotropism (geo- gravity) is the response of an organism to gravity. Hence, based on this question, a plant's response to moonlight is phototropism while it's response to gravity is geotropism.

Also, tropism can either be positive or negative depending on whether the response is towards the stimulus (positive) or away from the stimulus (negative). Therefore, the FALSE statement is "Phototropism and geotropism are adaptations of plants that allow for survival"
