Question
Chapter 23, Problem 14WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether a greater mass of birds or insects would be supported on 100 gram of nectar.
Introduction:
Thermoregulation is a process through which mammals can maintain their body temperature. Endotherms can maintain their constant body temperature whereas body temperature of ectotherms varies or fluctuates with the outside temperature.

Discuss the physiogical adaptations that limit water loss in terrestrial insects. You should provide a breakdown of water gains and water losses and then discuss the manner in which these are either minimised or maximised.
Explain the challenges that insects have to overcome to
maintain ion and water balance. Describe the structures used
by insects that help them do this.
As human activities put more and more carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air, the ocean takes up more CO2 and becomes increasingly acidic. Increased ocean acidity makes it more difficult for marine animals to produce their calcium-rich hard parts. List three types of invertebrates that are likely to be adversely affected by an increase in ocean acidity.

- Elephant seals do deep dives to forage for food. The energy used by the seals in diving depends on their body composition; for example, fatter seals use less energy to swim to the surface at the end of a dive, allowing them to takelonger, more productive dives.

- Barnacles are crustaceans that live in the ocean. Barnacle larvae are motile and secrete a sticky substance that allows them to attach to a suitable substrate. As they mature into sedentary adults, they secrete layers of calcium carbonate that serve as a protective covering. Some barnacles have been known to attach to the sides of whales. This benefits the barnacles in that they are constantly transported to locations with new sources of food. The whales neither benefit nor are harmed by the presence of barnacles. Barnacles follow r selection strategies. The calcium carbonate covering that protects barnacles is an adaptation that probably evolved as a result of what type of pressure? a) Density independent b) Predation c) Biotic d) Facultative symbiosisarrow_forwardBarnacles are crustaceans that live in the ocean.
