Question
Considering the solutions discussed in the lecture, in your opinion, what could have been done to stop the extermination of the thylacine? Can you think of another predator today that is being exterminated as a result of man's fear and ignorance? hint: they are an American species just recently introduced to the Northern Rocky Mountains. Do a google search and write about this current issue. Who? Where? Why?

- Besides carboxylation, the Calvin Cycle enzyme rubisco can also react with O2 (e.g. oxygenation). The wasteful oxygenation reaction of rubisco is explained by the enzyme developing at time when there was very little O2 in the atmosphere. Since it was developed, why hasn’t rubisco evolved to get rid of the oxygenation reaction? A. Mutations that decrease the affinity of rubisco for O2 probably also decrease the enzyme’s ability to bind CO2. B. Evolution takes time; and since rubisco is found only in eukaryotes, it evolved recently. C. Since it still generates one molecule of 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA), the oxygenation reaction is actually not that wasteful. D. Because in the past few million years the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen to be much greater than the concentration of O2.arrow_forwardDiscussion Thread : Ever wondered why mosquitoes exist? Everyone knows they serve as vectors for many illnesses (malaria, yellow fever and dengue fever to name a few)....but do they serve any "useful" purpose? Yes, they do! "The bizarre and Ecologically Important Hidden Lives of Mosquitoes" (https://theconversation.com/the-bizarre-and-ecologically-important-hidden-lives-of-mosquitoes-127599) Please comment on one surprising fact you learned from this article and explain in a few sentences.arrow_forwardConsider the effects of the same climate change scenario (+3°C) for a small frog with high cutaneous resistance, Litoria bicolor and cane toads Rhinella marina . The characteristics of the 3 species are show in the table below. The main differences among these 3 spreadsheets are the body masses and cutaneous resistances. Another difference is that, unlike Litoria caerulea, the other two species are assumed to be outside during the day rather than in a tree hollow. The wind speed inside a hollow is very low, and the humidity is higher. But the air temperatures are the same for all 3 models. Under the climate change scenario, were these 2 species exposed to lethal conditions for either water loss or body temperature? Species Mass (g) Cutaneous resistance (s/cm) Critical Thermal Maximum Temperature (°C) Litoria caerulea 50 14 37.5 Litoria bicolor 1 63 41.0 Rhinella marina 1, 50 or 500 1.7 37.5arrow_forward
- Question: Which of the following statements is false about the impacts of climate change? Choose all that apply. Group of answer choices A) A drought- and heat-induced increase of wildfires can have continent-wide impacts on human health B) Lower temperatures in some areas and at certain times are expected due to disruption in typical weather patterns. C) An increase in land conversion from natural habitats to developed or agriculture can reduce the zoonotic potential of diseases D) In the US, increased temperatures disproportionately affect the health of marginalized communities E) The conditions brought about by climate change may actually benefit agricultural productivity Possible explanation: Is this correct? Explanation- Statement C is false because when the land is converted from a natural habitat to something else that is if it could be used for agriculture or if it could be used for building purpose then zoonotic potential for diseases actually increase.…arrow_forwardExplain why it is important to travel in a group? explain three reasons why. explain each supporting point in 2-3 senetence with examples to clarify.arrow_forwardLook at the graph and answer the question on the other imagearrow_forward
