Geographer, historian, and author Jared Diamond (1987) once referred to agriculture as "the worst mistake in the history of the human race." Given what you have learned about the health consequences of the domestication of plants and animals for humans, how would you respond to his statement? You may find this article helpful in your discussion response: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4163920/
Colony collapse disorder (CCD) is unexplained loss of entire bee colonies that has been occurring in increased numbers across the world. The cause of the disorder is unknown, although it has been suggested that pesticides may play a role. To study this phenomenon, 300 bee colonies at 20 different sites across the U.S. are analyzed. Colonies are classified as having no CCD symptoms (group 1) or as having CCD symptoms (group 2). Bee pollen is isolated from group 1 and group 2 colonies and analyzed for the presence of pesticides. Significantly higher average pesticide levels being found in group 2 colonies, the conclusion of the study states that increasing pesticides use may be leading to the death of bees and a loss of bee colonies in CCD. Does this study have a control group? If so, what is the control group? If not, why not?
A team of researchers is interested in testing the amount of oxygen gas (O2) produced when the same species of plant is exposed to different colors of visible light. The research team has developed a hypothesis to test and designed experimental conditions to run. They have submitted the work to you for feedback and approval. Your job is to provide feedback concerning both the hypothesis and the experimental design. This will enable them to make the necessary changes to obtain approval for their research. The Team’s Hypothesis: The levels of oxygen gas will be higher for plants exposed to visible red light. How would you improve the hypothesis while also putting it into a proper hypothesis with an IF and THEN statement?
1) Design an experiment based on fruit ripening and ethylene: (1 or 2 sentences is fine) Hypothesis: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control (describe at least 2): Describe the control group: Method: Create a graph/table of your expected results. Label all axes and give the graph/table a name.
A. Why do we need to test the null hypothesis instead of just proving an alternative hypothesis? B. You are testing the effect of a particular fertilizer on a plant's growth. Your control plants don't get fertilizer while your test plants do. What would be your hypotheses and the null hypotheses?
Define the problem in this article? Explain the purpose of this study? Explain the varables? Explain the research question and or hypothsis? This study analyzed the research trends in the field of digital twins by examining metadata from 9639 peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2023. We processed the metadata using an NLP-based toolkit and manually labeled each article with its most relevant application field. Using the KCN methodology, we performed temporal research trend analysis, mapping popular sensing technologies to six application fields and identifying representative examples of digital twins in each field. For researchers, this analysis provides a comprehensive view of the field's development, identifying key areas for future exploration. For architects, the findings highlight technological applications and examples essential for informed decision making in digital twin system design. This study found that the field of digital twins is rapidly growing and…
Indicate YES or NO whether the following are viable alternatives to reduce the environmental impacts of chemical pesticides in agriculture. Group of answer choices The use of polyculture to encourage natural predators of plant pests [ Choose ] NO YES Using a broad-spectrum pesticide that can kill more kinds of pests at once [ Choose ] NO YES Using crop plants that are resistant to herbicides like Round-up (glyphosphate) [ Choose ] NO YES The use of GMO crops that have natural pesticide genes like BT toxin spliced into their DNA [ Choose ] NO YES the use of hormones that prevent pest insects from maturing [ Choose ] NO YES Using pesticides that are persistent and remain in the soil for a long time [ Choose ]…
Recall our discussions about the assumed relationships between oxpecker birds and cattle. Initial historical observations described them as mutualists. Based on the exclusion experiments by Weeks et al. (2000), which of the following is the best explanation for the association between oxpeckers and their cow friends? 10- E -5- 1st treatment p 0.6 2nd treatment p> 0.08 3rd treatment p>0.07 O a. They are true mutualists because the presence of the birds is associated with increased wound size and there is no significant decline in tick infestations. O b. They are true mutualists because the birds get the majority of their food in the form of eating the ectoparasites, like ticks, off the cattle and the cattle get the benefit of a reduced parasite burden. O c. They are not true mutualists because the oxpecker birds only cause harm to the cattle and no benefit. O d. They are not true mutualists because although the birds do decrease the amount of ear wax build up which could enable better…
