Question
Chapter 50, Problem 15PIAT
Summary Introduction
To review:
Design a study to test the hypothesis that whales change their direction and increase their speed when exposed to sound waves and cause beach strandings.
Introduction:
Whales communicate using sound waves in the ocean. The military off-shore operations interfere with their communication. The researchers found that the whales increase their speed and change directions when they come in contact with the sound and rush toward beach. This causes beach strandings.

Use DIRECT evidence from the text, provide a biological explanation for why pest companies should limit the production of sugary baits in order to control cockroaches.
Use the terms: behavioral resistance, glucose, taste buds
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?
The scientific method is the process that scientists use to find out new information. It involves a question, a hypothesis, a prediction, collecting data, and analyzing that data to make a conclusion. How would you use the scientific method to answer this question: Do mice live longer when they are fed high-sugar diets?
