Make a simple model illustrating how tomato plants might be able to detect insects on a neighboring plant and protect themselves from infestation and how the components of this system interact. Show how fungi transfer information from insect-infested tomato plants to nearby uninfested tomato plants. Be sure to label any inputs and outputs in the model.
A plant biologist discovers a new species of plant in the ashes of a recent forest fire along the sides of a steep mountain range. It is fall, and temperatures are dropping below freezing. The biologist cannot stay in the field to observe the plant. What can he infer about the plants reproductive strategy based on his recent observations? A) the plant will produce flowers because at this altitude there is sufficient sunlight B) the plant will produce comes because cones will mature into adult plants more rapidly C) the plant will produce cones because cones allow for seed dispersal through all seasons D) the plant will produce flowers because flowers can protect the seed from extreme conditions
Researchers working in a Brazilian rain forest recently discovered eight species of bioluminescent mushrooms  at a single site. The mushrooms continually emit a faint glow that, although undetectable in daylight, makes them visible at night. Suggest a mechanism by which glowing in the dark could benefit a mushroom. Why do  you think so many species with this unusual trait live in the same region?
