The graph on the left shows the supply and consumption of forests when the consumption rate and population growth rate are both low. The graph on the right shows soil erosion under the same conditions. Which conclusion do the graphs support?

a
As consumption of lumber decreases, forest resources and soil erosion also decrease.
b
When forests are cut down faster than they can be replenished, soil erosion quickly increases.
c
As consumption of lumber increases, forest resources and soil erosion also increase.
d
When forests are cut down faster, they are replenished faster, and soil erosion is kept in check.

Use this dichotomous key for insect identification to identify the insect shown. 1. a. insect has one pair of wings. order diptera b. insect has two pairs of wings. go to #2 2. a. front wings thicker in texture than hind wings go to #3. b. front and hind wings are same texture throughout. go to #4 3. a. front wings are short order dermaptera b. front wings cover entire abdomen order coleoptera 4. a. wings with scale on all parts of their area. order lepidoptera b. wings without scales go to #5. 5. a. hind wings smaller than front wings. order ephemeroptera b. front and hind wings nearly equal in size. order odonata the insect pictured is in the order diptera. ephemeroptera. coleoptera. odonata.

Ascience research group is testing a new type of plant food. one trial is conducted in a controlled experiment. the data from the trial show that the plant that received the new food grew faster than the control plant. the group announces that the new plant food makes plants grow faster. what is the main weakness in this scientific claim?

Explain the cellular functions that occur when antibiotics attack a bacteria cell. a. antibiotics target the cell wall, cell membrane, and the processes of protein and nucleic acids production in bacteria to rupture the cell. b. antibiotics create dormant resistant endospores to preserve the genetic material and rupture the cell. c. antibiotics target the cell wall and form a bridge-like connection to form conjugation. d. antibiotics use binary fission to grow twice its size, replications its dna, and split into two cells.
