Summary Introduction
To search:
The Internet for hypothesis about why humans and other animals yawn; then design an experiment to test one of the hypotheses.
Concept introduction:
Yawning is also a type of non-respiratory air movement. When one yawns, he/she takes in a deep breath of air.

Which statement is false?
Chimpanzees have their vocal cords situated higher in the pharynx
than in humans.
All mammal species can choke (obstruction of windpipe) on food.
The fact that we can choke on our food is an evolutionary
compromise that is largely compensated that we have the capacity
to speak.
Choking is partly a consequence of the fact that there is a space
between the posterior end of the soft palate and the dorsal tip of the
epiglottis.

- please helparrow_forwardWhich statement is false? Chimpanzees have their vocal cords situated higher in the pharynx than in humans. All mammal species can choke (obstruction of windpipe) on food. The fact that we can choke on our food is an evolutionary compromise that is largely compensated that we have the capacity to speak. Choking is partly a consequence of the fact that there is a space between the posterior end of the soft palate and the dorsal tip of the epiglottis. Salmonella, a gram-negative bacterium, produces an endotoxin that causes food poisoning. What is endotoxin? Secretion of the bacterium that becomes toxic only when it enters the cells of the digestive tract. A toxin accumulated in the wall of the bacteria in his life and that is released into the host when the bacteria dies. A toxic substance produced by living bacteria and secreted directly on the host cells (in the intestine). None of these answers defines an endotoxin.arrow_forwardAir pollution makes breathing difficult in animals and humans.

This greatly increases the efficiency of gas exchange within the lungs. Which of the following unifying themes of biology does this example illustrate?

A) The climber waited so that there body could become acclimated with the high pO2 condition. B) The climber waited so that there body could reduce the concentration of Hb in their system C) The climber waited so that there body could become acclimated with the low pO2 conditions D) The climber waited so that they could thoroughly search for an adamantium cavearrow_forwardA bird’s respiratory system consists of lungs in close association with a number of air sacs; one such air sac is known as the ________. Metamorphosis of the tadpole frog into the adult frog is spontaneous and is triggered by the accumulation of __________. The ________ muscle is responsible for powering the downstroke (ie. downward flapping) of the pigeon’s wing.arrow_forwardThe respiratory membrane in a vertebrate lung contains two simple cuboidal epithelia. This statement is (T/F). • If true, enter x in the blanks below. • If false, then how would you change the sentence to make it correct? You can change two words at most. Changes that just reverse the meaning (e.g. changing "is" to "isn't" or "all" to "none") will not earn credit. I would change the word(s) to the word(s) to make the sentence correct.arrow_forward
