Chapter 44, Problem 11PIAT
Honeybees live in social groups consisting of a queen, up to several hundred male drones, and thousands of infertile female workers. The drones mate with the queen only, and the workers protect the hive, forage, and feed and groom the queen. The health of the hive depends on the female workers performing these duties instead of reproducing. What roles do pheromones play in maintaining a functional beehive?
Scientists have identified dozens of pheromones used by honeybees for communication. Which type of sensory system are pheromones used in?
a. mechanoreception
b. photoreception
c. chemoreception
d. thermoreception
e. electroreception

In animals, pheromones can affect many different behaviors. Because humans do produce a number of airborne chemicals, what potential human behaviors could be affected by these chemicals? How would these pheromones be received, and would we necessarily be conscious of their effects on us?
Draw a bar graph showing territorial aggression in mice is dependent on estradiol, and another showing what it would the results would look like if territorial aggression was independent of estradiol.
What is a chemical substance that is released from a cell and has a local effect on the same cell type?
a) Intracellular mediator
b) Paracrine chemical signal
c) Autocrine chemical signal
d) Pheromone
e) Hormone

- Colton is having an ant problem at his house and heard that adding more cinnamon throughout his home may repel and reduce the number of ants that enter. He wants to design an experiment to determine the relationship between cinnamon and ants. What is the best testable research question for Colton's experiment? A. How does the number of ants entering a home change throughout the day? B. What spices affect ants? C. Do ants like cinnamon? D.

- Why is Drosophila melanogaster a relevant model of substance abuse disorders? Select all that apply. Partial point deduction for incorrect choices. The fruit fly lacks dopaminergic neurons, making it a good negative model for addiction. Because flies do not display dose-dependent responses to psychoactive drugs, fewer experimental treatments are needed. The fruit fly has a homologous circadian clock, which can be manipulated to investigate changes in physiological responses to drugs. Fruit flies are deuterostomes. Several fly genes responsible for level of ethanol sensitivity have human orthologs. The fruit fly also has neuropeptides secreted by brain cells that influence preference behaviors.arrow_forwardThe nervous and endocrine systems are both responsible for thecoordination of body systems. Is the endocrine system alsoinvolved in behavior?arrow_forwardThe flashing pattern of thefirefly (Lampyridae) is used to attract the opposite sex. Female fireflies only flash back and attract male fireflies who first signal them with a species-specific pattern of light.arrow_forward
- Why do baby wildebeest play? What is the purpose of this behavior?arrow_forwardTo study the control of sex hormones on behavior, researchers may remove an animal’s ovaries or testes and then inject the animal with an estrogen or androgen of interest to see what behavioral effects they have. What advantage does this technique have over another approach, which is simply to measure the concentrations of specific hormones in the blood of animal subjects from time to time?arrow_forward. Provide a specific example that suggests human behaviormay be influenced by pheromones.arrow_forward
- As depicted in the diagram, honeybees communicate the location of flower patches to members of their hives with waggle dances that give information about the direction and distance to the flowers. Which of the following statements about how honeybees communicate the position of flower patches is most consistent with the model? a. The total area covered by any waggle dance leads bees to the target flowers. b. The farther the target flowers from the hive, the longer the waggle phase. c. The angle of the waggle phase relative to the vertical plane indicates the position of the target flowers relative to another beehive. d.The number of repetitions of the waggle dance indicates the quality of the pollen source.arrow_forwardAn assassin bug that captures and kills orb-weaving spiders sometimes approaches a web and plucks at the silken strands it encounters. The resident spider sometimes responds by moving across the web to the place where the assassin bug is at work. The spider’s behavior can lead to its death (Wignall and Taylor 2011). Use net benefit theory to explain why spiders respond to web vibrations in this way.
