Chapter 56, Problem 4IQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason behind the less algae in streams in the presence of fishes and more algae in the case of the experiment shown in the specified figure and also determine the effect of adding snakes to the enclosure.
Introduction: The trophic cascade is a process in which the flow of energy levels getting a drop-down from the upper to the lower level. This effect is known as a top-down effect.

Experimental Planaria #1
Cut in half into front (anterior) and rear (posterior)
Day 1
Measuring the Planaria
This operation is best performed by removing some of the water from the dish into the lid with a clean
pipette and waiting for the worm to stretch out. Measure the length of the worm in millimeters. (Always
replace the water right away, you can use the dish lid to transfer water to and from the planarian
environment.)
A. Record the length of the front (anterior) section just AFTER you cut. This is your
INITIAL front length: 5 m m
B. Record the length of the rear (posterior) section just AFTER you cut. This is your
INITIAL rear length: 3mm
C. Observe and record any behavioral responses just after your cut
Day 2
Spend time under the microscope observing the cut Planaria. Answer the following
questions based on your observations. NO measurements will be taken on this day.
a) Are the cut fragments showing signs of regeneration?
b) How did you identify the regenerating portion?…

- how would i test my hypothesis that larger galls have more insects that emerge from them in this research study project, I have included the data, gall id is just the identifier for each gall, gall volume is the size, we used volume that was calculated from the diameter because its more accurate on gall size, and number of insects represents the number of insect holes counted on old galls. additionally the new galls we collected did not produce sufficient data and were omitted from our study. i calculated the correlation coefficient to be 0.531418 which means we have a moderately positive correlation. now how do I apply this to test hypothesis and obtain a p- value.
