The gypsy moth is a species native to Europe that has been brought to the United States. It prefers to feed on oak trees in the

U.S., and its caterpillars can consume all of the leaves off of trees. This leads to tree death after a few years of repeated defoliation. 
Why is the gypsy moth able to do so much damage to trees in the United States?

a. It is a non-native species and therefore has fewer predators.

b. It is a parasite and therefore does not need its host to survive.

c. The ecosystems found in the United States are less stable than those in Europe.

d. The gypsy moth is a uniquely dangerous species of insect around the world.

The answer is a- it is an invasive species which is non native to the U.S. this means it has less predators and can survive well

The correct answer is A - eventually a predatory species may utilize it as an energy source and its negative impact on the ecosystem will be decreased but until then, the pad trees will suffer the consequences.

when algae lives on a slth it is consirered a mutual symbiotic relationship. why is this an exampkle of mutualism
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Algae living on a sloth is considered an example of mutualism because both of them benefit from each other.

Mutualism is one of the symbiotic relationships in which both the two species living together benefit in one way or another. A considerable example of such a relationship is between algae and a sloth.

The algae provide camouflage to the sloth and protect it from predators while the sloth provides shelter to the algae for its growth. The sloth also gets nutrition from algae which perform photosynthesis and synthesize food.

Another mutual relationship is observed between the aphids and ants. Aphids produce honeydew as a waste product of their diet which is consumed by ants. While ants protect the aphids from predators and parasites.

To know more about mutualism, refer to the following link:

Why is it that every axon in an adult mammal has a target cell (muscle cell or other neuron) with which it makes synaptic contac
elena-s [515]

Answer:

It is because the axons that fail to find a target cell die thats why every axon in an adult mammal has a target cell (muscle cell or other neuron) with which it makes synaptic contact.

Explanation:

Synapse is basically a structure in the nervous system responsible for the passage of the electrical and the chemical signals from one neuron to another neuron or an effector cell.

Usually the axon is the presynaptic part of the synapse and the postsynaptic part is usually present on the body of the neuron or a dendrite or an effector cell like a muscle cell.

If the axon doesn't make a synaptic contact with the target cell , the axon will die because the neurotransmitters and the chemical mediators will not be released and no action will result on the postsynaptic membrane.
