Simulating Adaptations in a Species In this activity, you will discuss in detail the adaptations in a species of
rain forest plants. You will build a simulation that explains the
changes in the traits of the plant population over 10 years. You will
also establish a scientific explanation to justify the changes in the
traits of the population.
Time to complete: 1-2 hours
Part A
An organism's adaptations are specific to its native environment.
An organism that lives in a coniferous forest will have different
adaptations compared to an animal that lives in a tropical rain
forest. The following graphs show the temperature and
precipitation throughout the year for two different forests: a
coniferous forest in Canada, and a tropical rain forest in Belize,
Evaluate the graphs, and then explain why plants from these two
ecosystems will have different adaptations. In your answer,
explain the survival challenges that plants face in these two
environments.

a researcher conducts an experiment on the secretion of a particular hormone in mice. scientists inject mice with a substance that stimulates the production of the hormone. the scientists then test the levels of hormones produced by the mice. the tool used to measure the hormones consistently detects the levels at 10 points lower than the actual hormone levels in the mice. this tool makes measurements, but the measurements aren't .

estuaries are the partially enclosed coastal bodies of brackish water formed at the mouth of sea where river meets an ocean. it is a transition zone between river and sea water so estuaries are influenced to both marine environment such as tides, waves and to riverine such as flow of fresh water and sediments. the mixing of sea and fresh water provide high level of nutrients, making estuaries a high product habitats.

many estuaries suffers degradation from a variety of human activities like erosion from deforestation, overgrazing, overfishing, drainage and eutrophication.

so from the above statement answers will be

1. false as estuaries are formed due to both brackish and freshwater.

2.true, due to high productivity estuaries are breeding ground for many marine species.

3. direct and indirect activities of man that contribute to pollution and deposition of sediments.
