Students are provided with a choice of two solutions. Each one is used to test for the presence of a different chemical.
99
Solution
Tests for the presence of
Fehling's solution
Sugar
Lime water
Carbon dioxide
How could the students use one of these solutions to gather evidence for the
action of photosynthesis?
Pump the air from a closed container containing a plant through a sample of lime water.
O Grind up all parts of a plant, expose them to heat, collect the gas, and use lime water to test it
o Use Fehling's solution with the roots of several different species of plants, after boiling them for several minutes.
Use Fehling's solution on plant leaves exposed to light and on plant leaves covered in aluminum foil for a week.

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.
