Please read the following scenario to answer the following questions.Salmon eggs hatch in freshwater streams and, during their first year of life, the young salmon migrate distances up to 1,000 km in order to reach the ocean. Here they spend up to 5 years where they feed and grow, acquiring more than 95% of their biomass. During the summer of their maturing year, they begin the long journey back to their home streams to spawn. Although it is still uncertain how salmon navigate back to their spawning grounds, current hypotheses suggest that they have a highly developed sense of smell that allows them to remember odors they encountered on their migration to the ocean. They then use these odors to help them navigate back to the streams where they were born. At the spawning grounds, females use their tails to form a hollow cavity in the stream gravel where they lay up to 8,000 eggs. The males fertilize the eggs, and both adults typically die soon thereafter.The physiological response that allows salmon to survive in fresh water, then in salt water, and then fresh water again is an example of ________.

The first basic idea of evolutionary adaptation can be traced back to ________.

Approximately what percentage of the visible light that reaches Earth’s producers is converted to chemical energy?

Read the following scenario to answer the questions that follow.Drs. Peter and Rosemary Grant have been conducting observational research studies on finch species on Galápagos Island Daphne Major for over 40 years. The medium ground finch has a relatively small beak and a diet that consists primarily of small seeds. Large-beaked finches are able to eat larger seeds in addition to small ones. These two species successfully co-existed on the island for over 20 years, but two years of severe drought in 2003 and 2004 lead to intense competition between them because food supplies were destroyed in the drought. Numerous birds in both populations died from starvation. Interestingly, the Grants noticed that the smaller-beaked finches did not face the same degree of competitive pressure, because they could more easily eat the smaller seeds that were not being eaten by the larger finches. Only a short time later (2004-2005), the Grants observed that new populations of finches had more birds with smaller beaks than larger ones. As well, finches tended to seek out larger seeds half as often as in preceding years. The Grants’ data suggest that ________.

Read the following scenario to answer the questions that follow.In order to test the susceptibility of bacteria (if the bacteria are susceptible to being killed) to an antibiotic, a common laboratory test called the Bauer-Kirby Disk Diffusion test is used. First, a petri dish (a shallow, circular, transparent dish with a flat lid) is partially filled with nutrient-enriched agar (a gelatinous material). The nutrients encourage growth of specific bacterial species. The agar is poured as liquid but then typically solidifies to a soft consistency. Once the agar is set, a “lawn” of bacteria is spread such that a thin layer covers the top of the agar. Antibiotics are then applied to the lawn in a small dose, often through small, saturated paper disks. The dish is typically incubated for 24-48 hours and then observed for susceptibility. If the antibiotic is effective, it will kill the bacteria and leave a clear area called the “zone of inhibition” due to inhibited bacterial growth. The area starts at the source of the antibiotic and radiates outward. Scientists measure the diameter of the zone and then compare it to an established “cutoff value” for a zone specific to antibiotic/organism combinations. A large zone of inhibition in comparison to the standard indicates susceptibility while a small or no zone indicates resistance. Consider the following image, and answer the questions that follow: What can you conclude about the susceptibility of the bacteria to the antibiotics?

A nurse learns in orientation that an incident report does not “blame” anyone but concisely documents the events leading up to an occurrence. Which events would warrant completion of an incident report? (Select all that apply.)
