Colony Collapse Disorder


In 2006, beekeepers throughout the United States began to notice something new—and troubling. Adult honeybees, known as worker bees, were disappearing from their hives, seemingly abandoning them. Few or no dead bees were found in the hives. The queen and larvae were alive and well. However, the swarm of worker bees that usually attended them to keep them alive were gone. What had happened?


The event became so widespread that it soon received a name, Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). There was no denying that CCD was a problem. After all, American farmers depend on the work of honeybees and other pollinators. At least three-quarters of the crops grown in the United States depend on honeybee pollination for their survival. These include such crops as strawberries, blueberries, apples, broccoli, asparagus, and almonds. Without them, both farmers and anyone who enjoys fresh fruits and vegetables will suffer.


But what is causing this problem? Scientists have thoroughly studied a variety of possible causes, ranging from genetically modified crops to climate change to cell phone towers. Sadly, nothing has shown to be the cause of the problem. The most likely culprits are disease-causing organisms. These have been found in larger numbers in colonies affected by CCD than in unaffected colonies. But these organisms have included various viruses and bacteria. Some were found in greater amounts in different parts of the country. If CCD is caused by a single disease, identifying that disease will be difficult.


The CCD outbreak is most likely the result of multiple causes—disease, poor diet, pesticides, lack of genetic diversity, and habitat loss. Efforts to prevent colony loss have been mildly successful. The number lost has declined each year since 2008. But until a solution to this problem is found, CCD will remain a concern that will threaten the future of bees. It will also affect the people who rely on the food that they help produce.



What are the central ideas in "Colony Collapse Disorder"?


Select the two correct answers.



American agriculture depends on the honeybee for survival.


Greater concentrations of viruses and bacteria are responsible for CCD .


The CCD epidemic is most likely caused by multiple factors.


Strawberries, blueberries, and apples are pollinated by bees.

Answer:

American agriculture depends on the honeybee for survival.

The CCD epidemic is most likely caused by multiple factors.

Explanation:

A central idea (also called the main or key idea) is the main point the author of a text is making. Pieces of information that explain, expand, describe, illustrate, or clarify it are called supporting details.

The given text tells about a phenomenon called CCD and its impact on American agriculture. Its two central ideas are:

The remaining two options represent supporting details.

Answer:

This question has two parts. First, answer part A Then, answer part B.
Part:
Select the statement that best describes how the author's point of view develops over the course of the text.
The author starts out the ted by championing the Human Genome Project, but by the end of the text, the author seems confused by the entire idea of the project
The author starts out the test with a skeptical view of the Human Genome Project but slowly builds a stronger positive opinion of k us the test progresses
The author starts out the test by championing the Human Genome Project and then carefully supports his reasoning for why the project is worthwhile for humans
The author starts out the test with a disapproving point of view and maintains throughout the text as he points out how much controversy the project is raining in the scientific communy,
Part 8
Which detail from the text best supports your answer for part A?
The findings of the Human Genome Project, begun in 1990, will help answer these questions and many others. To find the answers, scientists collected blood, hair, skin cells and salive samples of people
from all over the world
Now that the sequencing is finished, researchers have begun the long process of analyzing the results to find out how these genes function. To scientists, this analysis is like Europe's decovery of the New
World
When the project first began, the medical world knew of about 100 human disease peries. Because of the project, scientists have identified more than 1400 disease genus
By studying how these genes work, medical researchers can try to improve treatments. This could include developing more effective medicines as well as manipulating the games themselves to cure or even prevent illness

True or False:
A dependent clause needs an independent clause to make a complete sentence.

Jayden sows pea seeds and watches them grow into seedlings. To better understand photosynthesis, he keeps one pea plant under green light and the other pea plant under yellow light. What would likely be the result in a few days?
A.
Neither pea plants will conduct photosynthesis.
B.
The pea plant under yellow light will grow more than the pea plant under green light.
C.
Both pea plants will grow at the same rate.
D.
The pea plant under green light will conduct more photosynthesis than the pea plant under yellow light.
E.
The plant under yellow light will start wilting.

Tip
The color of light used for photosynthesis depends on the pigment in the plant.For example, green plants with chlorophylls and carotenoids have a maximum activity with violet-blue and red light. Basically, whatever color the plant is, that is the color of light that it is reflecting instead of absorbing and using for photosynthesis.
