Giraffes and Elephants: Giraffes have adapted a long neck over time letting them eat and access food allowing them to survive. If a dry season was unusually long they would succeed fine because they are able to eat and drink from the trees. Elephants have survived with similar tactics of eating higher up, they have rough skin allowing them to outlast the heat, and only need water after long periods of time.
Answers/ Explanations:
- Water is considered a <u>'Natural'</u> resource (Fresh water is also considered a <u>'limited'</u> resource.
- Oil, coal, and natural gas are considered <u>'Non-renewable'</u> resources.
- <u>'Chemical'</u> energy is able to be replaced within the ecosystem for human use.
- A farmer who wants to produce the best crop yield will use '<u>Precision Farming.'</u>
- When a pollutant increases in concentration at higher levels of the trophic level, <u>'Biomagnification'</u> can harm organisms at the highest levels.

Not C > Irrelevant to heat transfer
4:
Independent Variable: Photosynthesis
Dependent Variable: Starch
Starch is a product of photosynthesis. Without photosynthesis, starch cannot form. Therefore starch is dependent on photosynthesis.
5:
Independent Variable: Temperature
Dependent Variable: Animal Metabolism
Animal metabolism will only be affected if the temperature of the room changes. Therefore animal metabolism is dependent on temperature.
9:
Independent Variable: Rainfall
Dependent Variable: Thickness of growth rings
The thickness of the tree's growth rings are determined by the amount of rainfall. Therefore the thickness of growth rings are dependent on rainfall.
An environmental scientist might study the effect of soil pollution on plant growth. This is true.
Hope this helped :)
