A student is analyzing data that compare the change in the total number of wading bird nests in the Everglades to the change in rainfall. Wading birds feed primarily on fish. Fewer nests were observed in dry years than wet years. What is a reasonable inference about the relationship between wading bird reproductive success and water depth in the Everglades? :
Responses Water depth likely affects wading birds’ access to food, but this does not affect wading birds’ reproductive success.
Water depth likely affects wading birds’ access to food, but this does not affect wading birds’ reproductive success.
Water depth likely affects wading birds’ access to food and thus affects wading birds’ reproductive success. Water depth likely affects wading birds’ access to food and thus affects wading birds’ reproductive success.
Water depth does not affect wading birds’ access to food and thus does not affect wading birds’ reproductive success.
Water depth does not affect wading birds’ access to food and thus does not affect wading birds’ reproductive success.
Water depth does not affect wading birds’ access to food but does affect wading birds’ reproductive success.
Water depth likely affects wading birds’ access to food and thus affects wading birds’ reproductive success.
What is a difference between how ants and elephants primarily use grouping for survival? (1 point) Responses Elephants use grouping for cooperation, and ants use grouping for protection of the young. Elephants use grouping for cooperation, and ants use grouping for protection of the young. Elephants use grouping for better chance of mating, and ants use grouping for better access to food. Elephants use grouping for better chance of mating, and ants use grouping for better access to food. Ants use grouping for better chance of mating, and elephants use grouping for better access to food. Ants use grouping for better chance of mating, and elephants use grouping for better access to food. Ants use grouping for cooperation, and elephants use grouping for protection of the young.
Ants use grouping for protection of the young, while elephants use grouping for cooperation.
How does hibernation help animals survive? (1 point)
Hibernation helps animals survive by allowing them to conserve energy and lower their metabolic rate during periods of food scarcity or extreme environmental conditions. This helps them minimize their energy requirements and survive until more favorable conditions return.
