Chapter 28.2, Problem 4CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The ways in which kelp forests are economically important.
Introduction: Protist contains a number of mechanisms for locomotion from one place to another. Protist can move by the help of flagella or through amoeba-shaped cells. Gliding is also a useful method of locomotion adopted by protist. Stramenopiles are the group of protist under the subgroup “Stramenophila”. This group includes algae, protozoans and so on.

- SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY Herbivory (plant eating) has evolvedrepeatedly in insects, typically from meat-eating or detritusfeeding ancestors (detritus is dead organic matter). Moths andbutterflies, for example, eat plants, whereas their “sister group”(the insect group to which they are most closely related), thecaddisflies, feed on animals, fungi, or detritus. As illustrated in the following phylogenetic tree, the combined moth/butterflyand caddisfly group shares a common ancestor with flies andfleas. Like caddisflies, flies and fleas are thought to have evolvedfrom ancestors that did not eat plants. There are 140,000 species of moths and butterflies and 7,000species of caddisflies. State a hypothesis about the impact ofherbivory on adaptive radiations in insects. How could thishypothesis be tested?arrow_forwardThinking Analytically Considering the fact that we have already found more than 20,000 deep-sea marine species and we have only explored a few percent of the deep ocean, how many total species do you think there may be in the deep sea?arrow_forwardSTUDYING 6 Statistical exercise: Corals and Temperature Science often involves gathering data. The data may be counts or measurements or lists of species or may take many other forms; however, it is very common that biological data can be represented numerically. Raw data are often too repeti- tive and boring to be appreciated directly. They need to be sta- tistically summarized. The most ordinary way to get started on summarizing data is to enter them in a spreadsheet, such as Excel. Excel also allows one to graph data and do simple analyses. Today and in future labs, you will use Excel in these statistical exercise sections; today we will focus on how to cre- ate and use a spreadsheet. We will start with data gathered by Hollie Putnam, a stu- dent interested in understanding how water temperature af- fected the growth of coral. To determine this, Hollie took cor- als from their native habitat, where the average water tempera- 1 2 3 4 5 Create an Excel file with the data in the lab…arrow_forward

Provide some examples in your reasoning.arrow_forwardCONTEXT The earth is comprised of many different life forms, including plants, animals, humans, and other organisms. These various life forms are highly interdependent and have formed important systems that continually reshape the planet's landscapes, oceans, and atmospheres. Booming human population growth over the last two centuries has put, and continues to put, many of these life-sustaining systems out of balance and in serious jeopardy, endangering many of the plant and animal species that human beings directly and indirectly depend upon for long-term survival. Bigger human populations naturally mean increases in human activities worldwide, leading to changes in landscapes, oceans, atmospheres, and the path of human history. For example, as noted in the benchmark of this lesson, human activities like reducing the amount of forest cover, increasing the amount and variety of chemicals released into the atmosphere, and intensive farming, have changed the earth's land, oceans, and…arrow_forward
