A small rainforest has lost 50% of it’s plants due to deforestation. How would this affect the animals that live there? (Why are autotrophs and heterotrophs dependent on one another?
What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?)

1. it affects the nearby animals because the herbivories will have to find different food resources, disrupting the ecosystem.

2. autotrophs are a source of food for heterotrophs.

3. Glucose is produced in photosynthesis and Glucose is needed for cellular respiration.  

Explanation:

emerald ash borer

the emerald ash borer is a green buprestid or jewel beetle native to north-eastern asia that feeds on ash species. females lay eggs in bark crevices on ash trees, and larvae feed underneath the bark of ash trees to emerge as adults in one to two years. hope this !

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
