Answer to Question 1

Nature helps control insect populations in the following ways:

1 . By the presence of mammals, birds, and amphibians that eat insects
2 . By the presence of predatory insects that eat other insects
3 . Through weather, including harsh winters and unusually dry or wet seasons
4 . Through diseases to which insects are susceptible

Answer to Question 2

Parasites can cause blood loss in animals, which can cause fatigue, poor performance, and inefficient development. Parasites can also carry disease from one animal to another.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
