Document Summary

Attraction similarity hypothesis: physical attractiveness and other traits are similar to their own - attitudes and cultural attributes similar. Our partners tend resemble us in race, ethnicity, age, level of education and religion. 95 percent of canadians pick partners from their own racial background. Propinquity we tend to come into contact with people whose background is similar to ours and they have similar attitudes than people from other backgrounds. Women place more value on similar attitudes, men value physical attraction. Physical attraction we are not willing to learn about others attributes if we are not attracted to them. Key factor in considering dates, sex and long term relationships. We assume attractive people have more socially desirable personalities and more likely to be happier and more successful than less attractive people. Women tend to pick 15 cm taller than them, men pick 11cm shorter. Slenderness, small wasted women regardless of weight, 0. 7 waist to hip ratios.

In your biology career, you may come across people attempting to use the Second Law of Thermodynamics to discredit the idea of evolution. Their argument goes something like this:

The theory of evolution says that life evolved from smaller inorganic molecules to larger organic molecules to simple one-celled organisms to more complex multicellular organisms, moving towards more complexity and organization. But the Second Law of Thermodynamics says that entropy always increases, with everything moving towards increasing disorder. Therefore, if the Second Law is correct, then evolution is impossible.


How would you respond to this argument? Are they correct that evolution and the Second Law are fundamentally incompatible? If so, which one (evolution or the Second Law) is wrong, and why? If not, what are the flaws in their argument? Explain your reasoning, based on your knowledge of thermodynamics and evolution.

Part 1: Living cells are highly ordered units, yet the universe is heading toward higher entropy. Discuss how life can maintain its order in spite of the second law of thermodynamics. Are we defying this law? Part 2: What is the advantage of using ATP as a common energy source? Another way of asking this question is, Why is ATP an advantage over using a bunch of different food molecules? For example, instead of just having a Na+/K+-ATPase in a cell, why not have a bunch of different ion pumps each driven by a different food molecule, like a Na+/K+-glucosase (a pump that uses glucose), a Na+/K+-sucrase (a pump that uses sucrose), a Na+/K+-fatty acidase (a pump that uses fatty acids), and so on?
