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
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 |

- The amount of energy required to maintain the basic metabolic functions of an animal in a resting state is called the _____arrow_forwardHow does the size of an endotherm change their metabolic rate? 1. Make a claim that answers this question. 2. Describe evidence that supports this claim. 3. Offer possible reasoning that explains the evidence and claim using biological ideas.arrow_forwardIn a study published in Science, Premack and Woodruff asked: "To what extent does the chimpanzee comprehend the elements of a problem situation and potential solutions?" An adult chimpanzee (Sarah) was shown 30-second videotapes of a human actor struggling with one of several problems (for example, not able to reach bananas hanging from the ceiling, a record player not playing). Then Sarah was shown two photographs, one that depicted a solution to the problem (like stepping onto a box, plugging in the record player) and one that did not. She was then instructed to pick one of the photos and place it under the television monitor. (Sarah had been raised in captivity since age one and had extensive prior exposure to photographs and television.) The order in which the scenes were presented to Sarah was randomized, as was the left/right position of the photos presented to her. Sarah was shown eight different scenarios. For each scenario, researchers recorded whether Sarah selected the…arrow_forward
- a) In what two ways (molecules) do animals store energy? b) Where is each molecule type stored? c) Which is long-term? d) Which is used first during exercise?arrow_forwardQuestion: How much of your body mass is brain? How much energy does your brain use each day?arrow_forwardCreate a concept map, that includes the three systems (digestive, circulatory, and respiratory system). You need to describe what is happening in your body when you eat and breathe. use limited words, but it should be descriptive tooarrow_forward
- Refer to figure 1A of the Science Article. The reduction in animal weight with exposure to higher doses of caffeine is a reflection of what behavior? a. these animals are awake for longer periods of time. b. these animals have increased anxiety. c. these animals feed lessarrow_forwardPlease 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.arrow_forwardBiting flies can transmit diseases and cause loss of blood for animals in nature. Horses have developed behaviors to repel biting flies such as ear twitching, head tossing, leg stomping, and tail swishing. Which statement best describes the interaction between body systems that allows horses to repel biting flies?arrow_forward
