Overfishing occurs when more fish are removed from an ecosystem than can be maintained by the population,
Overfishing can lead to significant population declines in economically important species. The passage describes
additional impacts of overfishing on populations.

According to the passage, which mechanism explains the observed changes in fish size over time?
A. Smaller fish produce fewer eggs than larger fish do, so they contribute fewer offspring to the next
generation.
B. Fish that are small enough to escape fishing nets are more likely to survive than larger fish.
C. Scientists found that Atlantic silversides exhibited changes in feeding and foraging rates after four
generations of selection,
D. The average size of pink salmon returning to spawn decreased from 6.0 pounds to approximately 4.5
pounds.

Many animals cannot sweat to maintain a stable body temperature. what is one other way animals can cool down?

Rease is an enzyme used by plants to break down urea (a nitrogen-containing compound) into carbon dioxide and ammonia. urease urea > > > carbon dioxide and ammonia ammonia is broken down by plants into a nitrogen source plants need to grow. thus, plants could not use urea as a nitrogen source unless it was first converted to ammonia. in soybean plants there are two different kinds of urease, one produced in the seeds and the other produced in the leaves of the plant. three types of soybean plants were used in a set of experiments: normal soybeans and two mutant strains, one lacking the urease in the seeds only (strain 1) and one lacking urease in the leaves only (strain 2). experiment 1 separate areas in a field were planted with normal, strain 1, and strain 2 soybeans. all types of soybeans appeared to grow, flower, and produce seeds equally well. there were no externally detectable differences among the strains. experiment 2 small pieces of plant leaves of equal weight were obtained from each type of soybean plant and separately placed on media in culture dishes. tissue growing in this way will become an unorganized clump of cells referred to as callus. to provide a controlled nitrogen source, half the tissue samples of each type were placed on media containing urea, and the other half of the samples were placed on media containing ammonia. after 30 days, the weight gain for each of the callus samples was determined. results are shown in the table below.
