Explain briefly the physiological reason for this survival rule: When left in an island with little or no freshwater, never eat solid food in large volume; eat only small portions at a time.
We have seen that animals often encounter problems in dealingwith waste nitrogen. Considering ammonotelic, ureotelic, anduricotelic types of animals, explain why these problems areoften greatest in carnivores (as compared with omnivores orherbivores).
Describe the forms of nitrogenous wastes generated by animals

- (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.

Compared to ectotherms, since they cannot have their internal body temperature leave the thermoneutral zone, they are limited with regard to the types of environments they can live in. B. Endotherms do not typically use passive mechanisms for thermoregulation, such as insulation, because they utilize metabolic energy to control body temperature. C. The trait of endothermicity is a derived characteristic in mammalian animals and is not seen in other phylogenetic branches in the Metazoan Clade. D.

- Estimating LD50 Values and Safe Exposures Using our knowledge of how scientists conduct LD50 studies, we can consider a example. Let's imagine that you are a scientist charged with determining the sare levels for mammals of a pesticide in the environment, Using lab rats, you feed than diet that contains different amounts of the pesticide, ranging from 0 to 4 mg of pesticide per kg of the rat's mass. After feeding them these diets for 4 days. you coont how many rats are still alive, When you plot the data, you obtain the graph below. 100 75 50- 25 3. Pesticide consumed (mg/kg of body mass) What is the LD50 value for lab rats? To determine this, we can draw a horizontal line at the point of 50 percent mortality on the y axis. Where this line intersects the purple line, we can draw another line straight down to the x axis. This second line CTOSses the x axis at 2 mg/kg of mass. Based on this LD50 study, what amount of pesticide would be considered safe for mammais to ingest? Recall that…arrow_forwardThe hydrometeorological cycle is a process that occurs naturally.
