The milkweed plant serves an important role in the life cycle of the monarch butterfly. Adult monarchs lay their eggs in milkweed, and then caterpillars eat that same plant during their development. Based on the relationship between monarchs and milkweed, which of the following trends would be predicted when looking at data on the populations of these two organisms? a.) Population of milkweed should remain constant when monarch butterfly population increases.
b.) Population of monarch butterflies should remain constant when milkweed population decreases.
c.) Population increase in monarch butterflies should follow population decrease in milkweed.
d.) Population decrease in monarch butterflies should follow population decrease in milkweed.

What do isotopes of uranium have the same number of? what do they have a different number of? a) same number of protons; different number of electrons b) same number of protons; different number of neutrons c) same number of electrons; different number of protons d) same number of neutrons; different number of protons

Astudent from one of the research labs is having trouble preparing a slide for examination and photographing. the bacterial slide that he has brought to you was prepared using a commercially purchased stain. he has asked for your in determining what he is doing wrong so that he can change the lab protocols and continue on with his project. after examining the slide under oil immersion, you determine that no bacteria are present even though the student is able to show you the culture he used to make that slide that has visible growth in the liquid medium. which of the following statements does not explain the fact that there are no bacteria present on the student’s slide? by not allowing a glass slide to completely air dry before heat fixation, the flame will cause the surrounding water to boil and this will damage the bacterial cell. overheating during the fixation step boiled the water within the bacterial cells and resulted in the cells bursting. insufficient heating of the slide did not drive out the thin layer of water and this resulted in minimal bonding between the bacteria and the glass slide. rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide. rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide.

How does the fermentation of pyruvic acid in cells contribute to the formation of atp? a. it completes the oxidation of glucose to co2, creating atp. b. it generates lactic acid, which cycles back through the krebs cycle, producing 2 atp molecules. c. it converts fadh2 to phosphate, which bonds with adp. d. it produces 2 nad+ molecules, which cycle back to fuel the glycolysis reaction, allowing 2 atp molecules to be produced.
