Textbook Question
Chapter 33, Problem 19TYK
A plant biologist observed a peculiar pattern when a tropical shrub was attacked by caterpillars. After a caterpillar ate a leaf, it would skip over nearby leaves and attack a leaf some distance away. Simply removing a leaf did not trigger the same change nearby. The biologist suspected that a damaged leaf sent out a chemical that signaled other leaves. How could this hypothesis be tested?

Using scientific concepts and terms describe how the Bucket Orchid can temporarily “hold” onto the bee’s body while it glues the pollen sacs to the bees back. In other words, what type of plant “movement” (aka. response) would this most likely be described as? Please watch the YouTube link to answer the question.
An Orchid’s Trap
https://youtu.be/_uHJGdTgtXE
I am studying a species of butterfly whose caterpillars often feed in groups together
on the same leaf of their host plant. When they are in a group, they seem to confuse
predators and avoid being picked off and eaten, but they have to share the leaf they
are eating. I predict that if I put many caterpillars in an enclosure with both large and
small leaves, the large leaves will attract bigger groups of caterpillars than the small
leaves.
Which type of study does this mean I am planning to do?
Manipulative experiment
Observational study

Why might your results not support the hypothesis?arrow_forwardRafflesia plants do not provide food for insects that are attracted to their flowers. Why do the insects most likely visit rafflesia flowers? A The insects are looking for a place to live on the flowers. B The insects are attracted to the movement of the flowers. C The insects are following other insects that eat the flowers. D The insects are attracted to the rotting meat smell from the flowers.arrow_forwardthe graph is depicting the size of eggs and number of eggs for the mycalesis terminus butterfly. the right of the graph represents the mass of the eggs (solid blue) and the left side represents the number of eggs (striped blue) Describe one realistic difference between host plants that might be affecting the numbers and sizes of eggs that a female lays on these plants. Suppose the ability of a female to adjust her egg and clutch size is an adaptation in these butterflies. Based on the difference between host plants that you identified in Part C, describe and explain why that difference would impact how a female adjusts the size or number of eggs (choose only one of these). Your answer just needs to be possible, not necessarily true.arrow_forward
