Question
Chapter 6.10, Problem 2MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
That which group of beetles would fly farther when placed in a device that measures how far an animal can fly at
Concept introduction:
Insects while flying and pollinating flowers use energy due to the activity of flight muscles. Insects try to spend less energy and store it to provide energy to flight muscles for the activity of flying. The flight muscles use energy very efficiently in favorable temperatures.

- As depicted in the diagram, honeybees communicate the location of flower patches to members of their hives with waggle dances that give information about the direction and distance to the flowers. Which of the following statements about how honeybees communicate the position of flower patches is most consistent with the model? a. The total area covered by any waggle dance leads bees to the target flowers. b. The farther the target flowers from the hive, the longer the waggle phase. c. The angle of the waggle phase relative to the vertical plane indicates the position of the target flowers relative to another beehive. d.The number of repetitions of the waggle dance indicates the quality of the pollen source.arrow_forwardTo conduct their experiment, the researchers collected L. peronii eggs from a natural stream. After the eggs had hatched, tadpoles were raised in artificially constructed 2 L containers in a laboratory. All containers were filled with 1 L of filtered tap water, and the water was changed every other day. Thirteen tadpoles were placed in each container, and the tadpoles were exposed to a 12-hour light: 12-hour dark photoperiod. All tadpoles were fed thawed spinach daily. The researchers randomly placed the tadpoles into containers exposed to one of four treatments, with nine replicates of each treatment, as follows: Low UVBR (<6.0 kJ/m2), low temperature (15OC) Low UVBR (<6.0 kJ/m2), high temperature (26OC) High UVBR (>70.0 kJ/m2), low temperature (15OC) High UVBR (>70.0 kJ/m2), high temperature (26OC) The researchers recorded the number of tadpoles still alive out of the original 13 in a container (percent survival) at different time periods. Their results at Week 4,…arrow_forwardYou've been out in the field collecting data on the predation of holly leaves. You collect 200 leaves in total of which 100 leaves contain one mine, 20 leaves contain 2 mines and 30 leaves contain 3 mines. After close examination with your hand lens and dissecting microscope you categorize a total of 15 mines with round holes, 9 mines that were torn open and 27 mines with an irregular hole. After some basic analyses you conclude that the predation rates by blue tits and wasps are: A. 3.7% and 6.5% B. 6% and 10% C. 10% and 6% D. 4% and 6.5%arrow_forward
- What does this figure from the bee paper show? a) Different bees are active at different times of the day b) The bees in the colonies observed were active almost exclusively during the hours of 8 am-midnight c) the bees can detect UV light, allowing them to center their activity at certain times of day d) Bees are more active at dawn and dusk than the other times of dayarrow_forwardarthur curry is trying to figure out if different fishing rods catch more fish . what are the independent and dependent variablesarrow_forwardBackground: One of the most important steps that a scientist completes during an experiment is data processing and presentation. Data can be analyzed by the presentation of the data in table format (data table), or the processing of that data through graphical manipulation to visually discern the differences in the variables tested. Analyzing Data: The graph shows the number of shrimp hatched at different temperatures. 40 30 20 10 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Temperature (Celsius) 1. What is the Independent (manipulated) variable? 2.

- What's Your Name In 2017, an Iranian Canadian scientist named Vazrick Nazari discovered a new moth species of the genus Neopalpa from Southern California and Northern Mexico. This distinctly "blonde-crowned "moth had been named after America's 45th president, Donald Trump. Try recalling your BIO 14, what would be the full scientific name of this moth? Write your answer on the space provided below: Genus Specific epithet Genus Author A species of horse fly from the genus Scaptia was discovered in 1981 in Atherton Tablelands in northeast Queensland, Australia. It was officially described and named only in 2011. This fly with a "golden butt" is named after American recording artist and actress Beyoncé. What would be the full scientific name of this fly?

He has collected data and comes up with the linear model T=39.2+0.233r, where T is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and r is the number of chirps per minute. Interpret the slope of the equation. The model predicts a decrease of 0.233 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute. The model predicts a decrease of 39.2 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute. The model predicts an increase of 39.2 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute. The model predicts an increase of 0.233 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute.arrow_forward
