- Q14The diagram below shows mushrooms, a type of decomposer, growing on a rotting log Which statement best describes the relationship between the mushrooms and the log?The log uses the mushrooms as a source of oxygen.The log uses the mushrooms as a food source.The mushrooms use the log as a food source.The mushrooms use the log as a source of oxygen.60sLE5.1e
- Q15The diagram shows two variations of the same species of peppered moth resting on a tree. Originally, most peppered moths were light-colored and blended in with the light-colored bark of the trees in their environment. Due to pollution during the Industrial Revolution, the trees became blackened by soot. As a result, the population of light-colored moths decreased, due to predators. At the same time, the population of dark-colored moths increased, because they were less visible to predators. Which process is responsible for this type of adaptation over time?natural selectiongenetic engineeringmetamorphosisdynamic equilibrium60sLE3.1b
