In the early 2000s, scientists have determined that the nation's top-selling weed killer, atrazine,disrupts the sexual development of frogs at concentrations 30 times lower than levels allowed by theEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA), raising concerns about heavy use of the herbicide on corn,soybeans and other crops in the Midwest and around the world. The amphibians (the frogs) are exposedto atrazine when in water.[atrazine frogGiven that log Kow for atrazine is 2.65 and that log0.85 log Kow - 0.07.%3D[atrazine]paterIf the atrazine concentration in the water is 100 ng/L, what would be the concentration of atrazine infrogs in ppm?

Prepare a summary of this article without distorting the message it wanted to convey For farmers, pesticides save labor and generally provide a higher yield: they can mean the difference between saving a crop and losing it to disease. Some farmers, especially those who grow produce at a smaller scale, use pesticides sparingly. For example, fruit trees are susceptible to disease in northeastern regions, especially at the blossom stage. An apple or peach grower may spray their fruit trees with a fungicide once in the spring to ensure that the fruit sets, but use no further chemicals for the rest of the season. For many large row crop farmers, on the other hand, regular pesticide use is as much a part of farming as planting seeds. Spraying Roundup on a field of corn genetically engineered to withstand the chemical kills! the weeds without affecting the corn. In comparison to mechanically weeding hundreds or thousands of acres, using pesticides is a game-changer. Some farmers spray their…
Moths resting on the trunks of trees often resemble the tree bark such that potential predators do not perceive them as prey. This is an example of: an induced defense. aposematic coloration. crypsis. silencing.
In North Carolina and other soybean-producing states, many farmers grow a species of soybean known as Roundup Ready. Roundup is a weed-killing chemical that was produced by Monsanto, (recently purchased by Bayer). The farmer can directly spray Round-up on his fields and it will kill all the weeds, yet leave the soybean plants unharmed. One particular farmer noticed that after a few years of using Roundup weed killer, it became less effective, leaving more andynore weeds alive after spraying. Which of the following explanations, best describes why these weeds remained alive? After years of exposure to Roundup, the soybeans became more resistant to the weed killer. Roundup-resistant weeds were more likely to survive and reproduce than were non-resistant individuals. When Bayer bought out Monsanto, they started selling poor-quality Roundup. Roundup-resistant weeds have less-efficient photosynthetic pathways than the original form.
If a farmer wanted less tightly packed clusters of grapes, he would most likely spray the immature bunches with which of the following hormones? cytokinins gibberellins auxin abscisic acid
