Explain how the ecosystem was affected by the missing species for each round of the demonstration. a. Round 1 =b. Round 2 =c. Round 3 =d. Round 4 = 2. Provide one action we as humans engage in that leads to the extinction of each of these components. Action affecting Lichens =Action affecting Trees =Action affecting Flowers =Action affecting Bees = 3. Provide three specific actions that humans can take to minimize our impact on the ecosystem and ensure the survival of lichens, trees, flowers, and bees.

Develop a hypothesis on which pot you believe will contain the highest biodiversity. Hypothesis = If I scatter the seed mixture for the experiment, then I will end up with more ryegrass in both pots. This was denied because I ended up with more Zinnia in both pots instead. I thought ryegrass would be prominent in both pots because they looked like simple plants. 2. Based on the results of your experiment, would you reject or accept the hypothesis that you produced in question 1? Explain how you determined this. Accept/Reject = 3. If each pot was a sample you found in a group of wildflowers, would you determine based on the diversity of flowers that the ecosystem is healthy? Why or why not. Answer = Yes I would because not every type of flower need the same thing to grow. So I would assume the ecosystem would have to be healthy to still flourish a diversity of different types of flowers grouped together. 4. How does biodiversity contribute to the overall health of an ecosystem? Provide specific examples and utilize at least one scholarly resource to back your answer. Answer = Biodiversity increases ecosystem productivity. If the ecosystem is productive, then its health is well off. There are plants that that have certain ingredients we need for medications in the United States. So if biodiversity (diversity of life in an area) is abundant, then many people, insects, and other plants benefit from it. ReferencesAny sources utilized should be listed here.

Do you believe that the establishment of terrorism as a crime that can be committed domestically has changed policing? How? Why? Provide examples.
3- 4 pages APA Format The challenge of terrorism against the United States led the government to create the Department of Homeland Security with the hope of leveraging federal, state, and local police agencies, intelligence agencies, and immigration agencies to cooperate in communicating findings and creating joint efforts to stop threats of terrorism or confronting a terrorist attack.The current threat of terrorism has made many senators and representatives in Congress think about the United States combining all of its police agencies into one national police organization. The centralization of power would stop the discombobulated nature of the 3 government levels of police and provide a clear, overall standard on how to police not only terrorism acts but crime in general.Please answer the questions below.

What should the prosecutor do?
Ethical Issue: Prosecutors Officers Nixon and Rook decided to arrest the husband for driving under the influence. He is taken to the station for processing. During processing, the husband is visibly agitated. He keeps mumbling to himself and rocking back and forth in his chair. His wife comes to the station and reports that her husband had some bad experiences while in Somalia. She requests that he be allowed to return home with her after processing. The police officers, already at the end of their shift, readily agree. Officer Rook is designated to write the report and deliver it to the prosecutors office. P. Ross Acute is the issuing deputy district attorney. He is reviewing this police report to decide whether to file charges against the husband. The report accurately depicts the facts. While he is reviewing the report, Officer Nixon comes into his office. Officer Nixon tells the prosecutor that the police report had been mistakenly dropped off before being signed off by a supervisor, which is required under city policy and procedures. Officer Nixon swaps the previous report for a new report, explaining that the new report was signed off by a supervisor and is more complete. D.D.A. Acute notes that the main difference between the old and new reports is that it states that the officers observed the husband driving and then parking the blue station wagon as the patrol car pulled up at the residence. What should the prosecutor do?
How effective each partys goals are likely to be in mobilizing voters to support the partys candidates on the national level.
Week 5 discussion Question 1 Party Platforms and Winning Elections Political parties mobilize voters to win elections and implement policy goals. Parties use their stated policy goals (i.e., their platforms) as a way to mobilize voter support. Generally, in order to be successful in a two-party system, parties must have policy goals across a broad range of issue areas to appeal to a broad range of voters. Before writing your initial post, review the assigned resources, which can be downloaded from your online course.For this discussion, you will identify one issue area that you want investigate. Use the assigned resources required for this discussion to gather information about the goals and proposals, in that issue area, of three political parties the Democratic and Republican parties and a third party.In your initial post of at least 200-250 words, summarize each of the three parties policy goals in your issue area. Compare and contrast the parties goals in that area. Evaluate each partys goals from two perspectives: a. Your own political philosophy, values or ideology. b. How effective each partys goals are likely to be in mobilizing voters to support the partys candidates on the national level. In making your assessment from this perspective, consider what influence the factors which underlie the two-party system have on each partys ability to use its policy proposals to generate voter support. Justify your conclusions with facts and persuasive reasoning. Fully respond to all parts of the question. Write in your own words. Support your position with APA citations to two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly. By Day 7, respond to at least two of your classmates initial posts. Your peer responses each must be at least 75 words. They must demonstrate critical thinking (e.g., ask a relevant question about your peers post while explaining why your question is significant, or state a perspective that contrasts with your peers while explaining or justifying your position).
