A group of researchers wanted to determine how leaf herbivory and seed production of a legume plant (legumes are a family of plants which includes beans and lentils) were affected by the presence of its mutualistic rhizobia (a group of nitrogen-fixing bacteria). They designed an experiment with two treatments: (1) rhizobia absent and herbivores present and (2) rhizobia present and herbivores present. Provide two additional treatments and briefly explain how they would contribute to our understanding of the results of this experiment.
In not more than 200 words or 5 sentences, answer or explain the following situation. In a seagrass ecosystem, nutrients restrict primary production under low nutrient (oligotrophic) conditions, while light becomes the limiting factor under high nutrient (eutrophic) conditions. Discuss how this happens with respect to the three primary producers (seagrass, macroalgae, phytoplankton) as the condition changes from oligotrophic to eutrophic.
Please watch the YouTube link to help answer this question. Think about the Bucket Orchid's use of secondary metabolites. How does the Bucket Orchid use secondary metabolites to “manipulate” the bee’s activities? Carefully assess each event you see in the video. There is evidence for 5 specific and distinct ways that the orchid 'manipulates' the bees activities (so there are 5 distinct possible answers). Please briefly describe 4 uses of secondary metabolites by the orchid and make sure you are specific and each one is distinct from the others. An Orchid’s Trap https://youtu.be/_uHJGdTgtXE
