Question
Chapter 7, Problem 2CT
Summary Introduction
To explain: Whether the flight muscles of bar-tailed godwits use mainly aerobic respiration or fermentation.
Concept introduction:
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and yields more number of ATP molecule. The fermentation do not require oxygen molecule and yields less number of ATP molecule.

The bar-tailed godwit is a type of shorebird that makes an annual migration from Aaska to New Zealand and back. The birds make each 11,500 kilometer (7,145 mile) trip by flying over the Pacific Ocean in about nine days, depending on weather, wind speed, and direction of travel. One bird was observed to make the entire journey uninterrupted , a feat that is comparable to a human running a nonstop seven-day marathon at 70 kilometers per hour (43.5 miles per hour). Would you expect the flight (breast) muscles of bar-tailed godwits to use mainly aerobic respiration or fermentation? Explain your answer.

A biology student is investigating the claim that the temperature can be predicted by counting cricket chirps. He has collected data and comes up with the linear model T=39.2+0.233r, where T is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and r is the number of chirps per minute. Interpret the slope of the equation.
The model predicts a decrease of 0.233 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute.
The model predicts a decrease of 39.2 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute.
The model predicts an increase of 39.2 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute.
The model predicts an increase of 0.233 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute.

The butterflies can tolerate temperatures as low as about 40 degrees Fahrenheit, unless conditions are also rainy. Under wet conditions, the butterflies require warmer temperatures in order to maintain their body temperature. The butterflies spend the winter roosting in large clusters that hang from mature conifer trees. This clustering helps the butterflies maintain their body temperature, and avoids the dangers of roosting on the ground, where they might be susceptible to danger. Consequently, the butterflies can only overwinter in areas with mature trees, which have been reduced throughout the area due to logging. Which of the following statements are true of the monarch butterflies’ overwintering niche? (Select all that apply) A.

The figure above (Fig. 1) is a 2-dimensional representation of a space for frog (in the absence of a competing species) based on the combination of two variables: moisture (% Relative Humidity [RH]) and temperature (°C). Size of the frog icon corresponds to how well it does (in terms of ecologic fitness) at various positions along these two environmental gradients. Flattened frogs indicate dead frogs; environmental conditions which are unsuitable for the frog's survival and reproduction. Italicized letters and numbers (on top) represent coordinates.

(SC.5.N.1.1) O The distances bird travel is independent of their size. o Birds more than ten grams in weight are more likely to travel. o The smallest bird traveled the greatest distance. O The largest birds stay in the same habitat all year.arrow_forwardEastern tent caterpillars (Malacosoma americanum) live in large groups in silk nests, or tents, which they build in trees. They are among the first insects to be active in early spring, when daily temperature fluctuates from freezing to very hot. Over the course ofa day, they display striking differences in behavior: Early in the morning, they rest in a tightly packed group on the tent's east-facing surface. In midafternoon, they are on its undersurface, each caterpillar hanging by a few of its legs. Propose a hypothesis to explain this behavior. How could you test it?
