27. The wetland plant purple loosestrife was imported to North America from Europe. Since its introduction, theloosestrife has spread, which has resulted in a dramatic decline in the biological diversity of native wetland plantsand harmed the wetland ecosystem. A likely reason for the spread of the purple loosestrife is that it canA. successfully compete with native herbivores for foodB. serves as an excellent food source for native herbivoresC. successfully out competes with native plants for spaceD. prevent the migration of native plants28. The best term to describe purple loosestrife would beA. non-nativeB. exoticC. invasiveD. parasite29. In some parts of the world, forests are being cut down and burned to clear land for new homes and newfarmland. A negative effect of these activities might beA. an inerease in edge effectB. a decrease in the average temperature of the atmsphereC. an inerease in biodiversity ofthe deforested areas

27- correct option is C successfully out competes with native plants for space . 28- correct option…

. SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY You are testing the hypothesis thatincreased population density of a particular plant speciesincreases the rate at which a pathogenic fungus infectsthe plant. Because the fungus causes visible scars on theleaves, you can easily determine whether a plant is infected.Design an experiment to test your hypothesis. Describe yourexperimental and control groups, how you would collect data,and what results you would see if your hypothesis is correct.
1. Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is a species of fire-adapted grass that was Introduced by humans to the western United States in the 1880's. Fire-adapted specles not only survive frequent fires, some require fire to release nutrlents or allow seeds to germinate. The Great Basin Desert is characterized by sagebrush and cold temperatures. The Mojave Desert is characterized by creosote bush, cacti, and yucca plants and very hot temperatures. Both deserts get very infrequent ralnfall. Deserts are not fire- adapted ecosystems. Since Cheatgrass was introduced, It has invaded both the Great Basin and Mojave Deserts, where fires now occur as often as every 3 to 6 years. Select any statement that is likely to be true regarding the effects of the inrtoduction of cheatgrass. Fires destroy cheatgrass and halt its invasion. Desert plants will rapidly adapt to frequent fires. Cheatgrass seeds survive and spread with each fire cycle. The frequent fires help cheatgrass expand its range. Natural…
