Whiteflies are common pest insects found on cotton, tomato, poinsettia, and many other plants. Nymphs are translucent and mostly

sessile, feeding on their host plant's phloem (sap) from the undersides of leaves. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis into winged adults. Because whitefly nymphs cannot escape predation by moving, you hypothesize that their translucent bodies make them hard to spot by predators. How could you directly test this hypothesis?

Answer: Comparing the rates of predation on whitefly nymphs coated with a nontoxic dye versus the undyed whitefly nymphs.

Explanation:

A hypothesis refers to an assumption, which is proposed for the sake of an argument which is tested to ascertain if it's true.

The hypothesis can be tested by comparing the rates of predation on whitefly nymphs coated with a nontoxic dye versus the undyed whitefly nymphs.

What other playing practices may lead to soil loss?​
stepladder [879]

Answer:

1. Wind

When strong winds blow, the topsoil along with the organic matter is carried away by the wind. This happens more often when the land is not covered with grass or plants. Such conditions are very common in desert and semi-desert regions where strong winds blow very frequently.

2. Water

When it rains in the hilly areas, the soil gets washed away towards the plains. The running water deposits the mineral-rich soil in the riverbed and over the years this deposition of soil can change the course of the river. This can lead to floods which cause the destruction of life and property. Water erosion leads to loss of agriculture potential.

3. Overgrazing

When cattle are allowed to graze on the same field repeatedly, all the available grass, including the roots are eaten by them. This makes the topsoil vulnerable to wind and flowing water, leading to soil erosion.

4. Deforestation

Humans have taken land from the forest to cultivate in order to feed the ever-increasing population and to build houses, industries, etc. Cutting down of trees on a large scale for these purposes is deforestation. The roots of trees hold the soil together, thus preventing the soil from getting uprooted. When large areas of the forest are cleared, the topsoil gets eroded by wind and flowing water.

1.) Compare the roles of oxygen and carbon dioxide in autotrophs and heterotrophs. Which organism is an oxygen consumer and carb
wariber [46]

Oxygen is used by both autotrophs and heterotrophs to release energy from glucose (as we know, the bonds between organic compounds can be used to release energy) in a process known as cellular respiration. Carbon dioxide, however, is predominantly used in autotrophs to perform photosynthesis because they cannot get their food any other way. The type of organism that is both an oxygen producer and carbon dioxide consumer is an autotroph. This is because they release oxygen during photosynthesis and require carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis.
