The canby’s dropwort grows in wetlands in georgia. it is an endangered plant because wetlands have been cleared for agriculture and construction. the larvae of the black swallowtail butterfly eat this plant.

what would most likely happen to the black swallowtail butterfly if these plants continue to decrease?
a) the number of butterflies will drop.
b) the number of larvae will not change.
eliminate
c) the larvae will find other plants to eat.
d) the butterflies will lay their eggs on other plants.

Option A

Explanation: The number of butterflies will drop, as the larvae of swallowtail butterfly eat this plant. The plant will decrease in huge amount.

One because of habitat loss as the the wetlands in Georgia have been cleared due to agriculture and construction.

Secondly, the endangered plant is being eaten by the larvae so there will be a decrease in the population of the plant.

The number of butterflies will drop because the plant population will decrease.

answer: the primary difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that b hypothesis is falsifiable, but a theory has been proven to be correct. theory is an explanation of something that is happening but hypothesis is a guess of something that can happen

explanation:

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
