Rubber trees are used to make common products containing latex such as surgical gloves, balloons, tires, and much more. Select the explanation that best identifies human accessibility to latex if biodiversity were to decrese.

• Human accessibility to the resource latex will be impacted because availability of latex is directly related to the number of rubber trees.

• Human accessibility to the resource latex will not be impacted because availability of latex is not related to the number of rubber trees.

• Human accessibility to the resource latex will not be impacted because latex is a resource that is always growing.

• Human accessibility to the resource latex will be impacted because latex is a resource that is in high demand.

What do you predict would happen to the population sizes of the other Michigan native insects if the mosquito were suddenly nonexistent? The populations of the remaining organisms would _________ because _________.

• decrease; they need mosquitoes for their survival

• become nonexistent; the populations have always been the same in the past

• increase; there would be less competition for the same share resource

• no change; the population of mosquitoes has no impact on the other populations
