Given:

Levels of metabolites (breakdown products) of malathion and chlorpyrifos in the urine of children taking part in a study of effects of an organic diet:

Malathion metabolite Chlorpyrifos metabolite
Study phase No. of samples Mean (µg/L) Maximum (µg/L) Mean (µg/L) Maximum (µg/L)
Nonorganic 87 2.9 96.5 7.2 31.1
Organic 116 0.3 7.4 1.7 17.1
Nonorganic 156 4.4 263.1 5.8 25.3

Introduction:

Organic foods are produced by using methods that meet the standard of organic farming. These foods are produced without any chemical fertilizers; only green manure or plant debris is added to the fields. The chemicals get accumulated in the body and cause diseases, but organic food is considered ecofriendly as it does not have chemicals.

magine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America.  The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind.  Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different.  (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).
