Textbook Question
Chapter 50, Problem 8TYU
EVOLUTION CONNECTION In general, locomotion on land will require more energy than locomotion in water. By integrating what you learned about animal form and function in Unit 7, discuss some of the evolutionary adaptations of mammals that support the high energy requirements for moving on land.

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.
Fick's First Law of Diffusion involves 3 key variables that define the ease of diffusion of molecules across a membrane. What are these 3 key variables (not the letter in the equation, but the terms they stand for) and relate them to adaptations in fish respiration. Do not take up space defining the variables, get right to the fish application.
Considering animals with a body mass of about 100 g, rank thethree forms of locomotion from highest energy cost to lowestenergy cost. Were these the results you expected, based on yourown experience? What could explain the energy cost of runningcompared to that of flying or swimming?
