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.
