Simple experiment you use place 50 fleas into each solution as follows:
100% (v/v) water
5% (v/v) alcohol
10% (w/v) alcohol
15% (w/v) alcohol
20% (v/v) alcohol
25% (v/v) alcohol
50% (v/v) alcohol
70%(v/v) alcohol
The flees are still swimming in solution when you leave the lab. The next morning you
return to observe your experiment and count the surviving fleas. Most of the fleas can be
observed by eye however some "sick" feas must be observed with a light microscope to
check them for vital signs (breathing). Your results are as follows:
Live fleas 48 100% (w/v) water
42 5% (v/v) alcohol
22 10% (v/v) alcohol
15 15% (v/v) alcohol
2 20% (v/v) alcohc
1 25% (v/v) alcohol
0 50% (w/v) alcohol
0
70% (v/v) alcohol
Analysis
1 Plot the results
2. Determine the LDSO for the experiment
3. What is the route for alcohol entry into Daphnia and what can you say about its
effect?
4. Is it possible to determine efficacy and potency of alcohol from this experiment?
5. What can you say about possible applications of this experiment to environmental
toxicity testing?

4.06 hc)a five-year review of threats to the southern resident orca population of the united states concluded that the top threats were prey availability, contaminants, and effects from recreational and whale watching vessels. further down the list are oil spills, disease, and effects from commercial vessels not targeting whales. how might this list be different if it were for transient whale populations, which have a larger average population size and live farther offshore in open waters? a)the transient population is more likely to be affected by contaminants. b)the transient population is less likely to be affected by whale watching vessels. c)the transient population is more likely to be affected by disease. d)the transient population is less likely to be affected by prey availability.

Which of the following is true about the introduction of a non-native species to an environment? (a) they usually adapt quickly so they can have a positive affect on the environment. (b) they can disrupt the environment and cause much damage and devastation to native species. (c) they usually become predators in a food chain and to keep prey populations under control. (d) because the native species are better-adapted to the environment, the non-native species always end up dying out.
