What else can I help you with?
How did biological magnification play a role in the disappearance of the peregrine falcon?
The use of the pesticide DDT.
Is pesticide a biological hazard?
No bio hazards are from humans
What is Population Resistance?
Population resistance is also known as pesticide resistance. Pesticide resistance describes a pest population's increasing resistance to a pesticide that use to be effective in terminating said pests.
What is pesticide resistance.?
Pesticide resistance describes the decreased susceptibility of a pest population to a pesticide that was previously effective at controlling the pest.
What are solutions to biological magnification pesticides?
Reducing monoculture, crop rotation, biological controls, the production of biodegradable pesticides and genetically engineering plants to produce their own pesticides are some solutions to biological magnification. Education about the impact of pesticides on the ecosystem and human health is also important.
A pesticide kills 99.9 percent of a pest population What will be the result of the continued application of this pesticide?
the 0.1% of the population would be resistant, should they breed the sucessive populations would be resistant resulting in the product becoming ineffective over time Study Island Question : Chemicals can affect an ecosystem. Which of the following is a result of pesticide application? Answer: Pesticide kills all kinds of insects, including predatory insects, which in turn can increase the population of insects for which the pesticide was intended.
Can an organic farmer use Bt?
Yes. BT is a biological control, and not a pesticide. I use it on cabbage and tomatoes.
Which concept is represented in a diagram that show the effect of spraying a pesticide on a population of insects over three generation?
The concept being represented in this diagram is likely the idea of pesticide resistance. The diagram is showing how the population of insects evolves resistance to the pesticide over generations, leading to a decrease in its effectiveness.
How does pesticide residue become more built up as the food chain increases in terms of biomass?
Pesticides increase in higher trophic levels due to Bilogical magnification .
Which statement best illustrates a rapid biological adaptation that has actually occurred?
Pesticide-resistant insects have developed in certain environments.
Which negative human environmental influence is matched to the positive influence that has helped to correct it?
pesticide use - biological control of insects
Which negative human environment influence is matched to the positive influence that has helped to correct it?
pesticide use- biological control of insects
