Summary Introduction

To determine: In what way the energy cost per hop differ at the two frequencies and also how this is related to energy storage in tendons.

Concept introduction: The locomotion is one of the most important characteristics of animals. It helps them to find mates, forage and to escape from enemies.

The locomotion on land is mediated in animals by the structural adaptations that evolved over the time to overcome the force of friction and force of gravity that opposed the movement on land. The adaptations for movement include the presence of powerful leg muscles, strong skeletal support and storage of energy in the tendons while hopping (in some animals).

Given data:

The energy consumed when standing is 159 joules/sec.

The energy consumed during hopping at different frequency is given as follows:

Frequency (hops/sec) Energy used (joules/sec)
1.85 735
0.92 716

Do the graph please
Please construct a model to show that the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems work together to supply the body cells with the glucose and oxygen needed for aerobic cellular respiration. Feel free to use words, diagrams, arrows, flowcharts, etc. to get your ideas across.    Make sure you include the following information:  Digestion of starch into glucose and the location(s) of digestion.  Absorption of glucose into the blood and the location of absorption.   Blood transporting glucose from the absorption site to the tissues. Glucose entering the tissue cells from the blood.  O2 entering the blood in the lungs and the specific location of entrance in the lungs.  Blood transporting O2 from the lungs into the tissues.  O2 enters the tissues from the blood.
