Chapter 50, Problem 9TYU
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
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 |

A recent newspaper article described a new bottled water that is “super charged” with oxygen. Since the body’s demand for oxygen increases as physical exertion increases, a university athletic coach thought that giving her athletes this oxygenated water would result in better performances. To test this idea, the coach divided her runners up into two groups. During practice, one group was given the super charged, oxygenated water to drink. The other group was given regular water. Both groups completed the same workout and drank the same amount of water (either oxygenated or unoxygenated). At the end of practice, she had all the athletes run 400 meters as fast as they could. She compared the times of the runners who had consumed regular water to those who had consumed the oxygenated water during practice. The coach found that the average time of the oxygenated water drinkers was significantly faster than that of the runners who had consumed regular water during practice. Which of…

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
