In the early 1800s, potatoes became the main food staple for the people of Ireland. In
1845, a fungus native to South America, Phytophthora infestans, began to infect potato
plants, causing potato blight and making the tubers inedible. Over the next several years,
most of the potato plants in the country were destroyed by this invasive species.
Which of the following statements correctly explains why the Irish potato famine occurred?
The arrival of ships from South America led to human introduction of the disease.
A drought across Ireland in 1844 led to more damaged potato plants that were susceptible
to infection.
An increase in trade with other European countries led to the introduction of plants that
were already infected with the fungus.
Ireland's climate became closer to that of South America, which allowed the fungus to infect
potato plants and reproduce.

- At a global scale, harmful algal blooms (HABS) are appearing in many places, often new places, and lasting longer than previously recorded. Across Florida, the occurrence of algal blooms, caused by various species of phytoplankton, has been intensifying. In the summer of 2016, a state of emergency was declared because a toxic cyanobacterial bloom occurred in Lake Okeechobee which spread into and throughout the St. Lucie River and Estuary. Water samples collected during the bloom helped identify a limiting nutrient. 1. Data from a Burger et al. (2004) indicate that mercury levels in Florida gar, top-level predators, from Lake Okeechobee were not higher than mercury levels of fish muscle from other locations in the United States. However, mercury levels in the livers of Florida gar were above the level considered safe for human consumption. a. Explain why this is good news for people who fish in Lake Okeechobee. b.
