Your dairy cows are eating their normal feed rations, but suddenly, their daily milk production drops by 20% over a single weekend. You check their feed, and it's fine, but you notice the weather has suddenly become extremely hot and humid.

What is the primary cause of this sudden drop in milk yield?

A) The cows are throwing a tantrum because of the weather

B) Heat stress, which reduces their appetite and diverts energy toward cooling down

C) The milking machines are slipping on the cows' skin due to sweat

D) The hot weather dries up the milk produced through evaporation

You harvest your cassava roots during a severe, prolonged dry season. When you process and cook them, you notice they taste much more bitter than the ones you harvested during the rainy season.

What causes cassava roots to become bitter and potentially dangerous during a drought?

A) The roots are absorbing too much salt from the dry ground

B) The plant increases its concentration of cyanogenic glucosides (cyanide compounds) due to moisture stress

C) Insects have injected venom into the roots to stay hydrated

D) The starch has turned into wood due to the heat

You are using an automated incubator to hatch chicken eggs. On day 10, a power surge resets your system, and the digital thermostat accidentally spikes the internal temperature to 42°C (107.6°F) for several hours.

What is the most likely outcome for the developing embryos inside the eggs?

A) The eggs will hatch much faster and ahead of schedule

B) High embryonic mortality (the chicks will likely die inside the shell)

C) The chicks will hatch healthier and stronger due to the extra warmth

D) The shells will instantly start cracking
