ou are on an expedition in a tropical rainforest. You notice a tall plant with large, long, conical purple flowers that produce

nectar. When you ask your guide about the plant, she pulls out a large pink fruit from her bag and explains that it is from the plant with the purple flowers. After tasting the fruit, you decide to bring the plant back home and cultivate it in a greenhouse. You remember seeing a particular butterfly on the purple flowers during your trip to the rainforest. After obtaining a few of these insects, you release them into the greenhouse. A few weeks later, the pink fruit plant is growing! In the process, though, a few butterflies have escaped. Is this an environmentally safe situation? Yes, the butterflies eat only nectar, so the ecosystem will not be disturbed. No, the butterflies may not have a natural predator in this environment; thus, they could displace native species that consume nectar. Yes, the butterflies will aid in the pollination of several flower species, thus benefiting the ecosystem. No, the butterflies could spread the pollen of the purple flowers to native plant species.

Answer:

No, the butterflies may not have a natural predator in this environment; thus, they could displace native species that consume nectar

Explanation:

The escaped butterfly are considered an exotic species in their new environment. Exotic species in a new environment can establish themselves and sometimes outcompete or have selectional advantage over native species in that environment, eventually displacing the native species.

<em>Hence, that some of the butterflies were allowed to escape into the environment is not environmentally safe for the native species in that environment.</em>

31. The data in the accompanying graph show evidence of disease in the human body. D 38 - - E Body Temperature (°C) 377 А IDOT B

Homeostasis keeps the organism in a dynamic equilibrium within the homeostatic range. <em>A </em><em>disruption i</em><em>n </em><em>dynamic equilibrium </em><em>is indicated by the </em><em>temperature </em><em>change between point C and D.</em> Option C is correct.

<h3>What is homeostasis?</h3>

Homeostasis is the organism's capacity to keep the body in constant internal equilibrium, even when the external environment is oscillating.

Homeostasis is critical to keep the correct internal functioning of the body.

Different functions -blood pressure, body temperature, respiratory rate, and blood glucose levels, among others- are kept in a<u><em> </em></u><u><em>restricted range</em></u><u><em> </em></u>around a reference point, even though external conditions may be changing.

When a sudden change occurs in the internal functioning that disturbs this equilibrium, the organism counters it back by negative or positive feedback.

<h3>Graph interpretation</h3>

In the exposed graph we can see,

  • The restricted range of homeostasis at a constant temperature around 37ºC.

  • Six reference points (A-F) withing 12 hours.

  • Dynamic equilibrium is kept in the range of homeostasis around 37ºC, excepting for point D that reaches 38ºC.  

The references point A, B, and C suggest that during the first 10 hours, approximately, the body was in equilibrium.

A change in the internal functioning broke the equilibrium, rising temperature to 38ºC, out of the homeostatic range.

The organism took the internal values to their original state, and at points E and F, the organism was in equilibrium again.
