Question
Chapter 29, Problem 11TYK
Summary Introduction
To analyze: The use of moon light, turtle do to navigate while moving towards ocean wave from the sand.
Introduction: Photoreceptors present in eyes send the neural signal to brain for detection of light. Light make a path from receptor of retina to the brain in the form of neural signal for phototransdunction, making an obstruction in the path of light disable the organism from seeing.

- Instruction: Propose a hypothesis for the given scenario below. Please answer here directly. Also, support your answer with scientific bases. Female silkworm moths (Bombyx mori) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. A male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. The sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comb like antennae visible in the photograph shown here. Each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. Based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. What predictions does your hypothesis make?arrow_forwardEvaluate How electricity is used to improve the lives of physically challenge person's, and those with health issues such as amputees and heart patient.
