Honey bees are visiting two food sites, A and B, at 6 AM in the morning, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Bees at site A are collecting pollen; those at site B are collecting nectar. When bees from site A return to the nest, they must find a cell in the wax combs and store the pollen (Fig. 3). Bees from site B pass their nectar to young Receiver Bees when they return to the nest (Fig. 4).
4. True or False: If foragers are still visiting site B at 10 AM, their waggle runs would be oriented 125 degrees to the right of vertical.
5. True or False: The ability of the foragers to track the passage of time and compensate for the movement of the sun is based on the biological clock located in the deuterocerebrum and involves a 24-hr period of cycling of the genes fem and am-dsx.
6. True or False: The pollen unloading behavior shown in Fig. 3 is a type of associative learning that involves conditioning of the proboscis extension reflex.

- According to the video, what was the effect of artificially-modified ant density in acacias on the elephant feeding behavior? (Choose one.) a. As the number of ants swarming increased per minute on acacia branches, so did the number of branches fed on by elephants. b. As the number of ants swarming increased per minute on acacia branches, the number of branches fed on by elephants decreased. c. As the density of ants per A. depranolobium increased, the number of trees fed on by elephants decreased. d. Elephants fed more frequently on Acacia depranolobium trees with their ants removed than on A. depranolobium trees with ants. video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3blzcbll7Q&t=293sarrow_forwardDescribe the concept of the Red Queen Hypothesis in your own words.arrow_forward"Although PTC is not found in nature, the ability to taste it correlates strongly with the ability to taste other bitter substances that do occur naturally, many of which are toxins."

- The drooping, bell-like flower Aquilegia canadensis is adapted for cross-pollination. However, if the plant has not been pollinated previously, self-pollination can occur. However, if cross pollination occurs after self-pollination takes place, the pollen from cross pollination reaches the style before the pollen from self-pollination. Using course concepts and vocabulary 1) Provide a reasoning for this phenomenon. 2) Would this adaptation for reproduction be beneficial for the plant?arrow_forwardHow do honey bees communicate information about food vectors? What is the honey bee waggle dance? The apw of De e Karl von Frisch first discovered the meaning of the honey bee dance What information is transmitted by each of the components of the dance?

Select one: a. Fertilization precedes pollinations. b. If fertilization occurs, pollination would be unnecessary. c. Pollination brings gametophytes together so that fertilization can occur. d. Pollination easily occurs between plants of different species.arrow_forwardAn adult female butterfly is actively flying from flower to flower while feeding on a very hot, sunny day in July. The adult butterfly developed from an egg that was laid late in the season the previous year and it became cold while she was still in the caterpillar stage. The caterpillar entered diapause and then resumed feeding and development the following spring when it became warmer. Before entering diapause, the caterpillar was parasitized by a parasitoid wasp, which laid an egg in the caterpillar’s body, triggering an immune response that eventually killed the egg and allowed the caterpillar to complete its development and metamorphosis into an adult. Based on this scenario, answer the following questions: 4. When the adult butterfly inhales: a. oxygen diffuses across the walls of the alveoli into the hemolymph, which then distributes the oxygen to all tissues. b. oxygen binds with hemoglobin and is then carried throughout the tracheal system to all tissues. c.…arrow_forward
