Gypsy moths are native to Europe but are invasive in the United States. Their larvae eat a high volume of tree leaves. The larvae can destroy between 60 to 100% of leaves, a process known as defoliation. Without leaves, trees can’t perform photosynthesis.gypsy moth larva crawling on a leafA group of scientists monitored the population of gypsy moths and the rate of defoliation in one US region over a four-year period. Their collected data appears in the chart. Study the data, and then answer the following questions.Population of MothsAcres of Land with DefoliationYear 13,84555,100Year 25,780125,460Year 315,804325,455Year 452, 350741,355Part ACalculate the percent increase in population between year 1 and year 2, year 2 and year 3, and year 3 and year 4.
