Harold Newton’s Yelow Day, a wetland landscape with palm trees and lush greenery set against the pastel yellows and pinks of the sky and water, is typical of paintings by the mid-twentieth-century andscape artists now known as the Florida Highwaymen. Even though Florida was rapidly being developed at that time, tourists in particular held the idea that its distinctive tropical and coastal enwironments represented a pristire natural worid untouched by modernity.

Question 11 of 108
Mushrooms, including Coprinewus micaceus and species from the genus Cantharelus, are known to use the process of evapotranspiration to maintain internal temperatures below ambient temperatures. This hypothermic behavior is enhanced by the many thin gills (lameltae) on the fungi’s caps, with substantial surface area contributing to capacity for evaporation.Examining fungal thormoregulatlon mochanism s, Radames Cardérg et ai. determined that molds and yeasts also engage in evaporative cooling to faciltate hypothermia and suggest that, lacking teatures analogous to lamellae, these unicelular fungi aggregate into colonies to derive the benefit of greater surface area.
Which choice best states the main idea of the text?
A. Althaugh a certain thermoregulation process has been observed in colonies of unicellular fungi, it has yet to be observed at the individual organism level.
B. A recent analysis of specimens of Coprinels mcaceus and species from the gonus Canitharewus substantiated the findings of eartier studies of thermoregulation mechanisms in several types of tungi
C. A study of a fungal thermoregulation mechanism determined that it is used more efficiently by molds and yeasts than by mushrooms and other multicellular fungi due to variances in colony size.
D. Despite significant differences in their biological structures, mushrooms, moks, and veasts have been observed to utifize the same thermoregulation process to achieve a particular effect.

Question 14 of 108
Baltimore, Marytand, has installed shareline-hardening structures-mainly jetties-along 71% of its shareline to protect infrastructure from wave erosion and other hazardis. To evaluate the responses of waterbirds at sites in the Chesapeake Bay on the US East Coast to shoreline hardening and other landscape alterations, Diann Prosser et al. surveyed waterbird communities consisting of sixty-four species, including the tundra swan and the great blue heron, Utilizing the index of Waterbird Community Integ ity (IWCI), on which a iow score corresponds to low community integrity, the researchers concluded that shoreline hardening more neaatively affects waterbirds than does land development for uses such as housing or agriculture.

The Cygne is just one of approximately three milion known historical ship: rtecks spread throughout the worid’s oceans, and their impact on sea life and underwater ecosystems is of great interest to researchers. Leila Hamdan and coleagues were particularly curious about the effects of wooden shipwrecks on seafloor microbial communities. The researchers studled two wooden shipwrecks in the Guf of Mexico by placing pieces of pine and oak between zero and 200 meters away from each shipwreck to colect samples of three kinds of microbes: ba tana, archaea, and fungl.

Question 20 of 108
The fecal-steroidal profile of pronghorn is clearly distinct from those of otner ungulates. By contrast, bison dung cannot be distinquished from elk dung based solely on their fecal-steroidal profiles, as both contain similar levels of beta-sitosterol and cholestanone, among other sterols. The relative levels of fecal zoostanols (steroids with animal origins), such as coprostanol and epi-coprostanol, in layers of lake bed sediments at Buffalo Ford Lake in Yellowstone National Park show that bison, elk, or both have been the dominant ungulate species in the lake’s watershed for at least the last 2,000 years.
