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 |

- Muscle Contraction In an experiment, the strength of a neural stimulus and the resulting muscle contraction are compared. A single motor neuron that synapses with one muscle fibre is observed in this experiment. One end of the muscle fibre is attached to a mass. The following data were obtained from the experiment. Analyze the data and answer the following questions. Number of Trials Strength of Stimulus (mV) Mass Lifted by Muscle Contraction (g) 1 20 2 40 3 60 50 4 80 50 100 Not Tested 120 50 *note that the voltage applied is positive in order to raise potential from resting to threshold Identify the manipulated, responding and controlled variables in the experiment described above.

- The amount of energy required to maintain the basic metabolic functions of an animal in a resting state is called the _____arrow_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_forwardHow does investigating the homeostasis changes during exercise illustrate homeostatic feedback mechanisms in three ways?
