Some ingredients (such as caffeine) do not have a metabolic energy source, but provide the perception of increased energy after consumption. How?

With a partner, use reasoning skill to reach conclusion about caffeine, an important component of energy drinks.

Invasive species are one of the major threats to biodiversity. these species multiply quickly and compete with native species for food, sunlight, spac and other resources. on the map, determine the area where native species will have limited resources available to them due to invasion threat from invasive species threat very low low medium high very high

Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease first identified in 1998 as a cause of massive amphibian deaths. in some severely impacted populations, a few individuals have survived, perhaps because of some natural resistance. if these resistant individuals continue to survive and prosper, new resistant populations might emerge. this would be an example of the founder effect artificial selection genetic drift natural selection sexual selection
