oldfish are one of the most common aquatic pets. The average temperature to maintain healthy goldfish is between 72-75 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it is not unusual to find goldfish keeping office workers company in frigid cubicles as low as 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Mary noticed her goldfish opened and closed it’s operculum (protective covering for the gills) more often when the temperature in her office was warm. Worried, she may be harming her pet by keeping her office so cold, Mary set up an investigation to test the impact cold temperatures had on her goldfish’s respiration rate. Which of the following experiments would be best to investigate if goldfish maintain homeostasis during varying temperatures?

There is currently a worldwide movement to create protected marine parks. If the parks have an Achilles heel, it is that they have fixed geographical positions, just in the way that Yellowstone National Park is at a fixed geographical location. Suppose that a certain endangered species of fish exists only in a marine park. If the ocean temperature rises in the park because of global warming, explain what physiological problems the species of fish might confront. How might the species face a brighter future if parks could have moveable boundaries rather than fixed ones?

Consider the following scenario: A group of five treasure hunters have been hired to retrieve some artefacts believed to be in an abandoned castle in an environment similar to the Arctic tundra (this is a quasi-fantasy land where disparate climates can co-exist in ways they can’t in reality, but everyone is human and has human physiology). Their expedition is happening in winter, and the group set out each carrying a pack of supplies including tents, sleeping gear, and food for either 3 well-fed days or up to 8 days with rationing (approximately 30kg each). The treasure hunters travel on foot to get to the castle through lands where there are predators such as wolves and bears. They have two options in terms of speed of travel: slow (7 days to castle), and fast (4 days to castle). 1) As an advisor to the group, which speed would you say they should travel? Note – neither speed is wrong however your answer must justify your choice in terms of physiology. Once the group get to the…
A desert beetle’s use of microclimates changes with seasons by temperature. In extremely hot summers, the beetle would need to seek a place that is cooler to regulate its body temperature to prevent overheating. In this season, it would go into underground burrows to avoid the heat above ground. This keeps them cooler during the day. In the evening, beetles lie on the ground to absorb the heat from the daytime to keep warm. This way the beetle regulates its body temperature both a night and during the day. In the cooler season, beetles shade themselves from the sun with the use of shrubs. The shade is efficient enough during that season to maintain their body temperature. If the beetle were to burrow in the cooler season, its body temperature would become too cold. During the winter, the beetle would occupy the ground to receive warmth from the sun. The worst time to be in a burrow would probably be during the cooler season or the winter. The beetle would get too cold if it went in…

Cockroaches are nocturnal insects and are active at night and inactive during the day. You place cockroaches in an experimental chamber which gives you complete control over temperature, relative humidity, and light. Throughout your experiment you keep temperature and relative humidity constant, but you vary light as follows: For the first 3 days, the lights go off at 6 PM each day and come one at 6 AM (a 12/12 light/dark cycle). From days 4-11, you then keep the cockroaches in constant darkness (0/24 light/dark) and you then restore the 12/12 light dark cycle starting on day 12. You measure the activity of the insects and indicate this using the gray bars shown in the graph below: 1. Based on these results, you can correctly conclude that: a. activity in cockroaches is controlled by an endogenous rhythm. b. activity in cockroaches is under only exogenous control. c. the zeitgeber for activity is temperature fluctuation. d. the data show that the activity of the per gene in…
