Question
Chapter 47, Problem 14TYU
Summary Introduction
To determine: Nutritional lifestyle of an unfamiliar animal.
Introduction: The food chain is divided into each tropic level, and the culmination of many food chains together forms the food web. Each tropic level has a set of organisms that belong to a particular group such as producers, herbivores, carnivores, and so on.

Students have asked these similar questions
The presence of villi and smooth muscle increases the
surface area for nutrient absorption in the gut of many
animals.
This statement is
(T/F).
• If true, enter x in the blanks below.
• If false, then how would you change the sentence to
make it correct? You can change two words at most.
Changes that just reverse the meaning (e.g. changing "is"
to "isn't" or "all" to "none") will not earn credit.
I would change the word(s)
to the
word(s)
to make the sentence correct.
Nutrition and Digestion
Identify the different modes of feeding mechanisms found in the Animal Kingdom, describe each and give 2 example animals for each mode.
Why do Cnidarians, Flatworms and Protists have simple or no extensively developed digestive system? (clue: mention their digestive structure and their mode of feeding)
What are the structural adaptations of snakes that allowed them to eat and digest a whole prey?
Why do insects of one species have a changing diet requirement during their life history?
Different birds have varying food habits, discuss the structural and physiological adaptations that allow them to process these foods.
What are the four stages of the digestive process, describe each stage/step and indicate what are the products/substances produced and their fate?
Discuss the role of the endocrine system in controlling digestion.

- One major aspect of animal life is the need to move as part of capturing food. One slight difficulty in this effort, however, is that the complex machinery required to make movement possible requires proteins maintained as specific temperature I choose one protein unique to animals you think is particularly important and do some research on what temperatures it can operate at Report the results here about it's response to temperature For one animal that uses that protein from part 1-what temperature range might they experience and is it possible the protein might leave it's optimal range (e.g.) might a fish using said protein experience a large enough shift in environmental temperature to interfere with the protein functioning)? Under what circumstances might it experience this if true what strategy does the animal from part 2 use to make sure the proteins it requires stay at their optimal temperature? (How does your animal thermoregulate?)arrow_forwardat a large Assume that you are the nurse elementary school where children frequently come to you with nosebleeds. Design an experiment to test whether dropping keys down the back of the neck causes nosebleeds to stop. (Assume parents of all children in the school have given permission for their participation in the experiment and you have followed ethical guidelines for research with human subjects. One possible explanation for why keys down the back might actually be effective in stopping a nosebleed is that they are cold, causing blood vessels to constrict. Treatments should be randomly assigned to the children. Describe how you accomplish this. That is, when a child with a nosebleed comes to the nurse's office, how will you know which treatment he or she should get?arrow_forwardA B. • Structure A functions in [ Select ] [ Select ] • Structure B functions in digestion pumping blood through the circulatory system gas exchange Structure C functions in maintaining blood pressurearrow_forward
- Describe the main difference between the planarian and vertebrate digestive systems. Question 13 options: The planarian does not have digestive system. The planarian digestive system is a branching gut sac that only has one opening to the environment. The planarian digestive system has a body opening to the environment on both of its ends, but a vertebrate digestive system does not. The vertebrate digestive system does not have as many highly specialized organs as that of vertebrates.arrow_forwardCooking is a singularly human trait. Whether the food is baked, fried, sautéed, boiled, or grilled, it's all cooking. Evidence suggests our ancestors began cooking over an open fire over 2 million years ago. ...

- Ungulates Ungulates, such as deer, reindeer, and elk, are hoofed mammals. These animals have keen hearing, clear vision, supple, well-conditioned muscles, and razor sharp reflexes. The evolution of the four-chambered stomach in ungulates developed as a result of a need to eat quickly in the open and chew later in the safety of cover. This process is called ruminating or "chewing the cud." In other words, ungulates regurgitate and then re- chew their food. Which of the following would be considered a physiological adaptation of ungulates? A) their four-chambered stomach B) their long legs, which help them outrun predators C) their ability to stand perfectly still, which helps them avoid predators D) their ability to hibernate to avoid cold wintersarrow_forwardA scientist dissects a new species of animal.

As new research is presented, sometimes earlier recommendations for what foods and activities are considered healthy need to be modified. Should recommendations be followed, knowing that they may change in the future, or should you just ‘go with your gut’ (haha, that was an eating pun)? As more data accumulates and studies are conducted with larger groups people over longer periods of time, are we getting closer to determining what constitutes a healthy lifestyle? Or are individual people variable enough in physiology (inability to metabolize lactose, gluten sensitivity, etc.) and genetics that universal recommendations are unrealistic?arrow_forward
- Use your sketching and writing skills to explain the relationship between metabolic rate (M) and body weight (W): M = aWb . Also generate a graph to explain how the exponent b in the allometric relationship changes between different groups of animals; and what would happen graphically if M is expressed per gram of body weight: M/W =aW(b-1)arrow_forwardUsing evolution and primate behavior as a guide, explain how cooking is associated with human weaning age, time allocation, brain size, and sociality.arrow_forward1 Using the human digestive system as a point for comparison, determine which of the other vertebrate groups/classes are very similar and very different from a human digestive system aspect. 2 Using a table, label the 1st column as “Digestive organ”, the 2nd column “Humans”, the third column, and so on (should contain the name of the group/class that you need to compare). 3 All the digestive organs for all the groups/classes should be present in the first column labeled “Digestive organs”. 4 The rows after for the digestive organs corresponding to the respective columns/group/class should include the function of the organ respectively. 5 If the organ is not present in a particular group/class, just put “ABSENT”. 7 Based on commonalities and variations/differences, conclude in a statement which vertebrate group is the most similar and most different to a human digestive system.arrow_forward
