20
Which of the following is evidence that an arthropod is more complex than a sponge?
All of these options are correct
The arthropod has segmentation
The arthropod has greater cephalization

21
When analyzing this graph what can you say about the relationship between predator and prey?
There is no predator prey relationship
As the predator increase the prey decrease
As the predator increase the prey increase
As the predator decrease the prey decrease
22
Why are invasive species so difficult to eliminate?
They are often very strong, making them difficult to catch
They often have no natural predators in the new environment
They are often very good at blending in with the new environment
They are often very fast, making them difficult to catch
23
When does antibiotic resistance occur?
