Chapter 33, Problem 11TYU
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason as to why foraging of humming birds is necessary for humming birds.
Introduction:
Foraging is the process in which a bird moves and migrates from one place to other in wide search of food provisions. They hover from place to place in search of food and to suck nectar. Different birds have different diets and hence they forage to different places in the search for their correct food. Studying the characteristics of foraging, ornithologists obtain a lot of information about various parameters of birds.

Hummingbirds are well adapted to obtain sugary nectar fromflowers, but they use some of the energy obtained from nectarwhen they forage for insects or spiders, as this individual isdoing. Explain why this foraging is necessary.
Nerve-like signals in animals are thousands of timesfaster than their plant counterparts. Suggest a behavioralreason for the difference.
Some species of animals gain physiological advantages byexploiting the specialized physiological capabilities of otherspecies. Explain how marine mammals that prey on teleost fishrather than invertebrates illustrate this principle. Also explainhow carnivorous mammals that prey on herbivorous mammalsin deserts illustrate the same principle.

Example: Photoreceptor (Animal): Phototropism (Plants) (Both involved responding to light stimulus)arrow_forwardBats mostly hunt insects at night. They are able to determine the distance and speed of any prey they are chasing, which has helped them to become excellent nocturnal predators. One potential prey, the tiger moth, has developed two separate methods of evading predation. First, tiger moths emit a toxin that is distasteful to bats, birds, and most other vertebrate predators. Second, they use an organ called a "tymbal" to create a series of high-pitched clicks that only bats can hear, and which identify the tiger moths as something the bats don't like to eat. Bats who prey on tiger moths discover they don't taste very good, learn to identify tiger moths by their clicks, and avoid eating them. Use this information to answer the questions below. Question 1: The scenario above describes a distinct evolutionary interaction. What is it?Can you explain? Question 2: Why is it necessary for the moth to produce both a tymbal click and a toxin? Why not just a toxin?

Hypothesis: Ethylene is a plant hormone released as a gaseous state into the air by rapidly growing tissues and it affects the surrounding fruits. Iodine solutions bind to the starch of the plant by forming a dark complex. So the darker the fruit, the lesser the content of starch which means the fruit is unripe and vice versa. The lighter color of fruit represents a more ripening status of fruit. Variables. Independent variable: Concentration of ethylene. Dependent variable: Conversion of starch into sugar (ripening of fruit).
