Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 11IMT
For each statement, identify which major theme is evident (the relationship of structure to function, information flow, pathways that transform energy and matter, interactions within biological systems, or evolution) and explain how the statement relates to the theme. If necessary, review the theme descriptions in this chapter.
11. Although green sea turtles consume a lot of vegetation, they get few nutrients from each mouthful, requiring them to graze frequently.

- Phosphorus is a mined, nonrenewable resource and comes from phosphate rock. It is second only to Nitrogen as to the amount used by plants. List 3 functions in organisms (plants & animals).arrow_forwardMany organisms live in environments with extreme conditions (ex. desert), and as a result, they possess anatomical and behavioral adaptations that allow them to survive and maintain homeostasis. Consider fennec foxes living in the desert. Identify three major abiotic conditions, describe how these conditions would impact the organisms' ability to maintain homeostasis (1-2 sentences each), and discuss potential adaptations (morphological and/or behavioral) that would assist in maintaining homeostasis (2-3 sentences each). NOTE.arrow_forwardFood webs are helpful diagrams to understand the relationships of organisms within a biological community. Answer the following questions using the food web below. Baleen whale Smaller toothed Sperm whale whales Penguins Elephant seal Leopard seal Other birds Fish Other seals Squid Krill Other herbivorous zooplankton Carnivorous zooplankton Phytoplankton The phytoplankton transforms light energy into 100,000 kcal (by photosynthesis of course). How much energy would you expect to be available in the elephant seal's food if the elephant seal eats the squid, which eats krill, which eats phytoplankton?
