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 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.

Why do we need to de-starch a leaf to proceed with an experiment?
Ronch [10]
We de-starch leaves so as to remove the starch produced in it during photosynthesis stored as food. Removing the starch would help us to infer our observations clearly as there is no change or substance that would effect the experiment we want to carry out. For example , the indicators we use might give blue-black or green colors just because of the presence or absence of starch.

slavikrds [6]
<h2>Apical complex</h2>

Explanation:

  • A group of cytoskeletal structures and related layer limited organelles found at the foremost finish of grown-up commit intracellular protozoan parasites in the phylum Apicomplexa. The apical complex is engaged with connection to and infiltration of the host cell and in parasite multiplication.
  • Apicomplexans : Ciliates are pretty cool, but they're not the only group of alveolates out there. Next, we've got the apicomplexans. This group is characterized by an asymmetrical collection of alveoli at one end of the cell, which is called the apical complex.
  • the apical complex has shaped the way it is because it helps the cell latch onto and infects other cells.That's right, apicomplexans are parasitic. There are 4,000 known species of apicomplexans, all of them parasitic, and some of them pretty nasty.
