Question
Chapter 36.6, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason why nerve-like signals are manifold faster in animals than in plants.
Concept introduction: Both animals and plants send and receive signals and respond to external stimulus. Nerve nets are present in animals. They provide animals an ability to sense objects through the use of sensory neurons within the nerve net. Plant perception is the ability of plants to respond to environment.

- The brown-nosed tweety bird can be found in both urban and wild environments. Researchers collected 100 birds from a forest, and divided them into two groups of 50 birds, each with 25 males and 25 females. One group was released into the forest and the other into a nearby city. After 1 year, a group of hardworking students collected all 100 birds and measured stress indices associated with signalling by their "stress glucocorticoid hormone", corticosterone (a steroid). They find that compared to the forest birds, the urban birds have greater levels of a stressed phenotype. Which of the following observations is MOST LIKELY to be part of the explanation for this observation? The urban birds have similar levels of corticosterone, but higher levels of the membrane receptor for this glucocorticoid The urban birds have genetic differences in their glucocorticoid receptor to give it higher affinity, making them more sensitive to corticosterone. The urban birds have lower expression of genes…arrow_forwardSperm whales have a specialized spermaceti organ in their head cavities filled with wax cetyl palmitate (C15H31COOC16H33).

- What is the effect of marijuana in animals?arrow_forwardSuppose that two different organs, such as the liver and heart, are sensitive to a particular hormone (such as epinephrine). The cells in both organs have identical receptors for the hormone, and hormone-receptor binding produces the same intracellular second messenger in both organs. However, the hormone produces different effects in the two organs. Explain how this can happen.arrow_forwardGive full explanationarrow_forward
- Please answer fast What would be the effect on the brain of a drug that prevented voltage-gated calcium channels from opening? a. No effect b. It would reduce neuronal activity c. It would increase neuronal activity Many animals make poisons. One example is the blue-ringed octopus, which makes a molecule called tetrodotoxin. This is a sodium channel blocker. What would be the effect of tetrodotoxin on the brain? a. No effect b. It would increase neuronal activity c. It would decrease neuronal activityarrow_forwardEach cell in a multicellular animal is programmed to respond to a specific set of extracellular signal molecules produced by other cells. Explain why and how?arrow_forwardThe fight-or-flight reaction prepares an animal to Pesponu Lu a threatening situation, by either fighting or running away. One aspect of this response is changes in blood flow such that the skeletal muscles and heart receive higher blood flow (vessels dilate) while digestive organs receive less (vessels constrict). A) Which signal molecule(s) is/are involved in this response, and how do they produce these changes in blood vessels? Briefly explain how this example illustrates how different cells are able to use the same ligands in different ways.arrow_forward
