Question
Chapter 40.2, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: Whether an extensive surface area is important only for animals, or it also provides advantages to other living organisms.
Introduction: The folds, convolutions, or extensions overcome the challenge to pack the extensive surface area in a confined space. For example, in human intestine finger-like extensions, villi increase the surface area for absorption of food.

- 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?arrow_forwardWhat is the name of the feature that allows organisms to survive in the conditions of its habitat? 1.Adjustment 2.Adaptation 3.Acclimatisation 4.Adaptive variationarrow_forward. Structure and function is a central theme to the study of biology. Each major group of organisms has evolved its own body part “tool kit" – a collection of structures that have evolved in ways that make specific functions possible. From capturing food to digesting it, and from reproducing to breathing, organisms use structures that have evolved into different forms as species have adapted to life in different environments. The structure of wings, for example enable birds and insects to fly. The structures of legs enable horses to gallop and kangaroos to hop. a. Think about your own teeth. What kinds of foods do you think human teeth are suited for? b. List at least three ways the structure of human teeth serves the function of eating these food materials. c. Now, finally apply the theme of structure and function to something you're very familiar with - your hands. List out all the ways you can think of that the structure of your hands serve the function of your hands.arrow_forward
