Biologists believe that a large number of species that are part of the rain forest ecosystem are on the verge of extinction. Which statement BEST describes the role of urbanization in this disaster?A) Urbanization leads to deforestation and loss of habitat for many species.
B) Many animals are captured or killed by poachers, significantly reducing their numbers.
C) Viral epidemics that break out in human populations spread to animals in the ecosystem.
D) Factories cause a significant rise in temperature in the forests, endangering many species.

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: A) Urbanization leads to deforestation and loss of habitat for many species.

Explanation:

Urbanization is the main reason for the exploitation of the rain forests which has lead to the extinction of species used to be residing in the forests ecosystems.  Following are the factors which are responsible for such disaster with the expension of urbanization:

1. Infrastructure: The land is the main requirement which is responsible for the exploitation of rain forests. The large area is required for the accommodation of  the large human population, construction of roads, highways and bridges. This has replaced many habit-ant animals from their native land and also leads to extinction due to ecological disturbance.

2. Increasing needs of food, herbs and wood: Many species of wooden trees could be found in the rain forests which have now extincted due to increasing demand for wood. The herbs have been wiped up for the preparation of medicines and drugs. The large number of tree populations are also exploited due to availability of fruits, and vegetables.

3. Wildlife trafficking and hunting: Some of the animal species have been included in the list of endangered species due to their use for commercial selling of horns, hives and other valuables.

Match to show the differences between monocots and dicots. one seed leaf
two seed leaves
netted leaf structure
parallel leaf structure
cotyledons
endosperm

The options for these are Monocot food, Dicot food, Monocots, and Dicots

Answers

Mono cots and dicots both have differences which are

Mono cots have one seed leaf while dicots have two seed leaves

Monocots have parallel leaf structure while dicots have netted leaf structure

Monocots store their food in the endosperm while on the other hand the dicots store their food in the cotyledons.

one seed leaf: monocot

two seed leaves: dicot

netted leaf structure: dicot

parallel leaf structure: monocot

cotyledons: dicot food

endosperm: monocot food

Johannes wants to know whether soil, water, or both are needed for plant growth. He chooses to conduct experiments on a willow tree for five years to answer his question. How can his experimental methods be changed to improve his experiment?

Answers

Answer : He needs to use a larger sample size to improve his experiment.

Explanation : As Johannes wants to know whether soil, water, or both are needed for plant growth. He chooses to conduct experiments on a willow tree for five years. To get the improvement in his experimental methods he can choose a larger size of the sample and test its results. As larger size will allow him to gauge accurately on the smaller factors and results will be more reliable. Larger sampling will ensure the homogeneity of the test sample, which will yield better and reliable results.
