ATS Canvas Support Identify whether each of the statements is an Observation or a Hypothesis to explain an observation. Golden toads laid their eggs in shallow pools of water between the roots of cloud forest trees. Golden toad tadpoles lived in shallow pools of water on the cloud forest floor before developing into toadlets. Over warm ocean water, clouds form higher in the atmosphere. Golden toads had highly specialized reproductive habitat. Golden toads were found only in the cloud forest of Monteverde, Costa Rica. The fossil record and current trends show that highly specialized species with small populations and narrow ranges are highly susceptible to extinction. Spring 1987 was the driest spring on record for Monteverde. All the golden toad tadpoles might have died during the spring of 1987 because their pools dried up before the young could lead a fully terrestrial life. The drier conditions at Monteverde in 1987 might have been caused by clouds forming higher in the atmosphere,…
If all of the saprophytic fungi in an ecosystem died, which of the following would be a likely short-term result? Group of answer choices Plants would not be able to absorb nutrients from the soil as effectively Dead plant material would be decomposed more quickly, releasing higher levels of CO2 Less carbon dioxide would be released into the atmosphere because dead plant material would not be decomposed Plants would be unable to absorb nitrogen as efficiently because their root symbiotic fungi would be unable to break gaseous nitrogen apart Plants would be unable to absorb nitrogen as efficiently because their root symbiotic fungi would be unable to break gaseous nitrogen apart

A fungus that climbs up a tree reaching higher elevation to release its spores in the wind and does not receive any nutrients from the tree or contribute to the tree's welfare is described as a. commensal mutualist parasite pathogen
As noted in Section 46.7, mycorrhizal fungi help prevent carbon in the soil from escaping into the atmosphere. These fungi also benefit a host plant by providing it with a share of the phosphorus and nitrogen that their hyphae take up from soil. Most crop plants are capable of forming a relationship with mycorrhizal fungi, if any are present in the soil. Some people have suggested that inoculating soil with fungal spores could help reduce the use of industrially produced fertilizer. What are some potential advantages of using fungi, rather than chemical fertilizers, to enhance plant growth?
