data
A student is analyzing data that compare the change in the total number of wading bird nests in the Everglades to the change in rainfall. Wading birds feed primarily on fish. Fewer nests were observed in dry years than wet years.
What is a reasonable inference about the relationship between wading bird reproductive success and water depth in the Everglades?
(1 point)
Water depth likely affects wading birds’ access to food, but this does not affect wading birds’ reproductive success.
Water depth likely affects wading birds’ access to food and thus affects wading birds’ reproductive success.
Water depth does not affect wading birds’ access to food and thus does not affect wading birds’ reproductive success.
Water depth does not affect wading birds’ access to food but does affect wading birds’ reproductive success.

Both ladybugs and humans have only a few offspring.
are all of these answers correct?
Apologies for the confusion. No, not all of the previous answers are correct.
To clarify:
- Ladybugs typically have many offspring, while humans have a few.
- Humans do expend energy and time to care for their offspring, while ladybugs do not.
- Ladybugs do not care for their offspring, while humans do.
Therefore, the correct statement is "Humans expend energy and time to care for offspring, while ladybugs do not."
To clarify:
- Ladybugs typically have many offspring, while humans have a few.
- Humans do expend energy and time to care for their offspring, while ladybugs do not.
