Which argument BEST supports this claim? sa at ak gure ak Orchid populations will be smaller at higher temperatures because the probability of male pollinating bees arriving before orchid flowering is lower. This will result in decreased orchid reproduction and smaller populations.

As a municipal fisheries officer (MFO) you were assigned to investigate a report in the occurrence ofpoor breeding activities of fresh water tilapia in a barangay involved in tilapia aquaculture. It wasalso reported that the fry produced are weak and are always affected by fungal and bacterialinfection. You have ordered a blood and tissue analysis of the fry and the broodstock and the resultsare:• Prostaglandin in the blood of broodstock are low as compared to normal values.• Eicosanoids levels in the larvae were below the normal levels. 1. With these results, what major dietary nutrients would you order to be analyzed ?2. Wat major nutrients would you suspect is inadequate and are causing these problems. (Bearin mind that this is a freshwater fish.)3. Discuss what are the role of this/these nutrients in Fish breeding and immune responses.

Unless actions are taken to slow the decline of domesticated honeybees and augment [increase] their populations with wild bees, many fruits and vegetables may disappear from the food supply, said Claire Kremen, a conservation biologist at Princeton University in New Jersey. The honeybee decline, which is affecting domesticated and wild bee populatans around the world, is mostly the result of diseases spread as a result of mites and other parasites as well as the spraying of crops with pesticides, scientists say..

Two months later, he applied the same pesticide to his home again, but the second application killed only 65% of the roaches. What would best explain the decrease in the effectiveness of the pesticide? The pesticide is effective only against mature roaches. The pesticide caused some of the roaches to mutate and metabolize the pesticide. The pesticide lost its effectiveness over a period of time The surviving roaches were naturally resistant to the pesticide and that resistance was inherited by their offspring 02021 luminate EducationM Inc.
At the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Department of Health used a graph to represent the prediction of the number of active cases, if no interventions were made. The vertical axis gives the number of active cases and the horizontal axis shows the number of days since the start of the pandemic. Pennsylvania residents were asked to quarantine to flatten the curve of the graph that rep- resented the number of active infections. Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply. A Flattening the curve would represented a vertical compression of the graph of the data. B Flattening the curve would be a horizontal stretch of the graph of the data. When reading statistics reported in reputable news sources, it is beneficial to under- stand data measurement vocabulary. U
