Blue whales are baleen whales that feed on small shrimp in cold artic waters. They keep their mouths open to filter-feed using the baleen suspended from the roof of their mouths. How do they manage to keep from losing all their body heat from their uninsulated tongues?

Question 1


Which of the following provides the best description of adifference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?.l.14.3>

The cell membrane of prokaryotic cells contains proteins, whilethe cell membrane of eukaryotic cells contains only lipids andcarbohydrates.

The DNA in eukaryotic cells is enclosed in the nucleus, whilethe DNA in prokaryotic cells is not separated from the rest of thecell’s contents.

Eukaryotic cells have cell walls that consist mainly of sugars,while prokaryotic cells do not.

Prokaryotic cells contain chloroplasts and mitochondria, whileeukaryotic cells do not contain specialized organelles.

Question 2

Cellular respiration is a process involving the breakdown ofglucose molecules in order to generate energy for cellularactivities. Given the general reaction below, which of thefollowing best describes the products labeled x andy?

C6H12O6 + O2 → _x___+ __y___ + energy.l.18.8>

The products are CO (carbon monoxide) andH2O2 (hydrogen peroxide), which thendecompose into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water(H2O).

The products are H2O (water) and CO2 (carbondioxide), which then undergo anaerobic respiration.

The products are CO2 (carbon dioxide) andH2O (water), which then become the reactants forphotosynthesis.

The products are O2 (oxygen) and H2O(water), which are then used for growth and to keep the organismhydrated.

Question 3

If a researcher added a quantity of phospholipid molecules to abeaker of water, what would be most likely to happen to theorientation of the phospholipid molecules?.l.14.2>

They would break apart, and the remaining lipid tails wouldfloat up and form a layer on the surface of the water.

Their lipid tails would align within a spherical double layerwith their phosphate heads in the water inside and outside thesphere.

They would form a single-layered sphere with the phosphate headspointing outward and the lipid tails pointing inward.

Their lipid tails would adhere to the glass of the beaker andtheir phosphate heads would float in the water.

Question 4

While looking at a cell under a microscope, a scientist is ableto see a biological molecule. This molecule is a nucleic acid witha ladder structure and contains the nitrogenous bases adenine,thymine, cytosine, and guanine. Based on this information, whatconclusion can the scientist draw regarding this nucleicacid?.l.18.1>

The nucleic acid is RNA and would be found in the cell’snucleus.

The nucleic acid is RNA and would be found in the cytoplasm.

The nucleic acid is DNA and would be found in the cytoplasm.

The nucleic acid is DNA and would be found in the cell’snucleus.

Question 6


What would be the most likely effect if the side chain of an aminoacid group was unable to vary its structure?.l.18.4>

The organism would not be able to make and store starches.

The organism would not be able to process glucose moleculeseffectively.

The organism would not be able to regulate the creation ofspecialized cells.

The organism would not be able to make more than one type ofprotein.

Question 7


During photosynthesis, unused oxygen atoms form oxygen gas(O2) which is released as a waste product. How did theseoxygen atoms originally enter the plant?.l.18.7>

They were part of the ATP molecules gathered by thechloroplasts.

They were part of the sugar molecules(C6H12O6) the plant brought in forfood.

They were part of the carbon dioxide (CO2) moleculesthat entered through the leaves.

They were part of the water molecules (H2O) pulled inthrough the roots.

Question 8


Which of the following organelles houses DNA in eukaryoticcells?.l.14.3>

Endoplasmic reticulum

Golgi apparatus

Nucleus

Mitochondrium

Question 9

attention to disproving spontaneous generation

publication of ideas on cell generation

theories on the division of cells

claim that cells were the basic unit of all plant matter

Question 10


While the average human is able to hold his or her breath forapproximately one minute, a whale can dive for over 30 minuteswithout returning to the surface. Which of the following correctlydescribes this difference?.l.18.10>

Whales need less energy than humans.

Whales gather energy from their environment better thanhumans.

Whales are able to tolerate the products of cellular respirationbetter than humans.

Whales have a slower cellular respiration metabolism rate thanhumans.

Question 11


What can you conclude about the advantage of the cell membranehaving hydrophobic ends in the phospholipid bilayer?.l.18.3>

The cell requires the ability to digest and eliminateenzymes.

The cell requires a barrier between itself and itsenvironment.

The cell requires a means to store starches and glucose.

The cell requires a structure for eliminating waste.

Question 12


What would be the most likely outcome if the ribosomes of a cellwere damaged and stopped functioning?.l.14.3>

The cell would lose structure and shape.

Cell growth and repair would slow or stop.

CAN YOU PLEASE ANSWER 2 AND 3 :) THANK YOU

QUESTION 1 Use the information below to answer questions 1-3. Northern burrowing bugs feed on small arthropods that they search for under the bark of trees. These bugs vary considerably in the width of the pronotum; male bugs show greater variability than do females. Using light traps, you collect all of the bugs in the area, sort them by sex, and measure their pronotum width. By using a male-specific genetic markers you are able to determine which male is the father of each male offspring. The males do not associate with the females after they have mated; therefore any resemblance between males and their offspring is due only to genetics–not environment. The phenotypic variance of the males is 175.2, while the phenotypic variance of the offspring is somewhat less–146.1. The covariance in snout length between males and their offspring is 14.6. What is the heritability of pronotum width?

a) 0.083 b) 0.100 c) 0.167 d) 0.335 e) 0.500

QUESTION 2 Northern burrowing bugs shelter from cold weather in deep crevices in tree bark. Bugs who do not find shelter will not survive sever cold weather. During your study, a period of subfreezing temperatures caused all bugs that were not small enough to tunnel into crevices in the bark to die. Because of this, only those bugs with a pronotum width that averaged 12 mm narrower than the population mean to survive. Relative to the original population, how much will pronotum width differ in the next generation (young born after the severe cold period)?

a) 2.0 mm b) 3.0 mm c) 6.0 mm d) 12.0 mm e) You do not have enough data to tell

QUESTION 3 In Question 2, what type of selection is operating on pronotum width?

a) directional selection for a wider pronotum b) directional selection for a narrower pronotum c) stabilizing selection d) disruptive selection

Observation: Capuchins rub their fur with leaves.
Capuchin monkeys live in central and south America. They live insocial groups and they are noteworthy for their intelligence,specifically their tool use and social learning. They areomnivores, and feed on a vast range of foods. One seeminglypeculiar behavior is leaf rubbing - Capuchin monkeys sometimes rubthemselves with leaves from specific plant species.

Use the above observation to answer each of the followingsections.

1) Asking a question.Questions can be general, and potentiallyanswered with hypotheses at two or even all four of the levels ofanalysis. Questions can also be more specific and very clearlyintended to be addressed with hypotheses at only a singlelevel. An example of a general question about the aboveobservation that is addressable by hypotheses at all four levels issimply: “Why do capuchin monkeys rub leaves on themselves?” Wewould like you to write a question that reflects only one ofTinbergen’s four questions and that directly relates to some aspectof the behavioral observation provided above. Let’s start bylooking at some example questions. Your first job is to identifywhich of Tinbergen’s questions (level of analysis) each of theserelate to (Proximate Causal/Mechanistic; Proximate Developmental;Ultimate Fitness; Ultimate History).

What benefit do the monkeys get from leaf rubbing?
a) Level of analysis: (answer all of these on theanswer sheet provided on last page)

Which other monkey species also do this type of behavior?
b) Level of analysis:

How do juveniles acquire this behavior?
c) Level of analysis:

How do capuchins identify which plant to use?
d) Level of analysis:
