2. How might you model the relationship between a tomato plant and the hornworm caterpillar? Identify the components of the model, including inputs and outputs

Parasitism is the relationship between tomato plant and hornworm.

Explanation:

The relationship between a tomato plant and the hornworm caterpillar is parasitism because parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship in which one organism get benefits from other and the other get harmed. We know that hornworm caterpillar feed on leaves and destroy the tomato crop. So it gets nutrients from tomato plant and the tomato plant is destroyed. The input of this system is the vegetative part of tomato plant which can be eaten while the output is the conversion of hornworm caterpillar into a moth.

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.
