Discuss how desert animals are able to regulate water balance considering the scarcity of water in their environment.
Based on the physical laws of evaporation, explain why the highbody temperatures of mammals and birds make them prone tohaving higher rates of evaporative water loss than poikilothermicterrestrial vertebrates with lower body temperatures.
Approximately 9,000 ml of water enters the digestive tract daily. How much of that water is absorbed? Question 48 options: 1,000 ml 3,000 ml 4,500 ml 7,500 ml 8,900 ml
Contrast the body-temperature responses of humans and Arabian oryxes during exposure to a hot–arid desert. In each case, state implications for water balance. Include both day and night in your analysis.
A fish swims from a body of cool water into a body of warm water. As its body temperature rises, its rate of O2 consumption increases. The warm water, however is likely to have a lower concentration of dissolved O2 than the cool water because the solubility of O2 in water decreases as temperature increases. These two factors taken together, an increase in the fish's rate of O2 consumption and a decrease in the dissolved O2 concentration of its environmental water, can make it difficult for the fish to obtain enough O2 to meet its needs. The two factors can act as a two-pronged trap. Actually, however, the fish may face a three-pronged trap. How is the increase in temperature likely to affect the O2 affinity of the fish's hemoglobin, and how could the effect on hemoglobin add even further to the challenge the fish faces? Does global warming pose concerns of this sort?
When looking at some of the more extreme environments on earth, I found one desert that has a fairly low average temperature. Some temperature statistics from this desert: Annual average temperature: -2.5 °C Average temperature in January: -26.5 °C Average temperature in July: 17.5 °C In this environment, would you expect endotherms or exotherms to be more successful? Explain your choice.
(A) if both sentences are true, (B) if both sentences are false, (C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and (D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1.Insufficient dissolved oxygen is necessary for the life of fish and other aquatic organisms. As aquatic photosynthesis is light dependent, the dissolved oxygen produced will peak during daylight hours and decline at night. 2. The potability or “drinkability” of tap water varies from place to place. The distillation process ensures that contaminants are left in the boiling vessel, which results in a cleaner and more pure water in the collection vessel. 3. The stable form of oxygen in the Winkler Titration Method in determining the dissolved oxygen in water was magnesium dioxide. The free iodine in the Winkler Titration Method turned the solution into a red color. 4. Tap water is more pure than distilled water. The purity and cleanliness of distilled water remains constant no matter where you get it…
In a hot, dry desert a person can lose lots of water through sweating, but show no visible signs of sweating. One problem is that people may not realize how much water they are losing through sweating. Why is it important to drink plenty of water under hot, dry desert conditions even when you do not feel like or realize you are sweating much? Beside dehydration, you should explain why the human body will overheat if unable to sweat under very hot and dry conditions.
Some animals living in a fluid medium excrete nitrogen asammonia. Land animals, which conserve water, excrete ureaand uric acid. Why does the excretion of these molecules aidin water conservation?
Which of the following statements if FALSE regarding phosphorus? A. On average, Americans do not consume enough phosphorus in their diets B. Phosphorus is a component of ATP C. Phosphorus from animal sources is more readily absorbed than the phosphorus from plant sources D. Phosphorus is a main component in the bone
Describe the function of major hormones (steroid hormones, epinephrine, insulin & glucagon) and major endocrine glands (hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal glands, pancreas) and how they regulate metabolism. Explain the organs and tissues different groups use for osmoregulation including how the countercurrent exchange in the loop of Henle allows mammals to recycle water and ions. Explain how organisms control osmolarity, and how their particular strategies depend on the environment they inhabit.
Thermohaline circulation refers to a network of currents driven by density changes caused by temperature and salinity differences. A. TRUE B. FALSE
