A laboratory experiment followed the growth of a flour beetle (Tribolium sp.) population over time. At first, the population inc

reased dramatically, but later the growth slowed and the population size leveled off. Although food (the wheat flour in which they live) was still abundant, the flour beetles resorted to eating their own eggs when population densities got high. What can we conclude about cannibalism in this species?

Answer:

Explanation:

Cannibalism is a very essential factor regulating population dynamics of four beetle. After some days of feeding, the flour becomes conditioned by the beetles which can affect rate of cannibalism

Adults have a relatively lower rate of cannibalism. While its highest rate of cannibalism is at larvae stage

Flour conditioning is caused by the accumulation of feces, pheromones and ethylquinone- thus is repellent produced by the beetles.

The advantage of excreting nitrogenous wastes as urea instead of ammonia is that:________ a) urea requires more water for excret
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Ammonia is so toxic that it can be transported and excreted only in large volumes of very dilute solution. As a result most terrestrial animals simply don't have access to sufficient water to routine excrete ammonia.

The main advantage of urea is its very low toxicity. Animals can transport urea in the circulatory system and store it safely in high concentrations. Also much less water is loss when a given quantity of nitrogen is excreted in a concentrated solution of urea than would be in a dilute solution of ammonia.
