Question
Chapter 7, Problem 2CT
Summary Introduction
To explain: Whether the flight muscles of bar-tailed godwits use mainly aerobic respiration or fermentation.
Concept introduction:
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and yields more number of ATP molecule. The fermentation do not require oxygen molecule and yields less number of ATP molecule.

The bar-tailed godwit is a type of shorebird that makes an annual migration from Aaska to New Zealand and back. The birds make each 11,500 kilometer (7,145 mile) trip by flying over the Pacific Ocean in about nine days, depending on weather, wind speed, and direction of travel. One bird was observed to make the entire journey uninterrupted , a feat that is comparable to a human running a nonstop seven-day marathon at 70 kilometers per hour (43.5 miles per hour). Would you expect the flight (breast) muscles of bar-tailed godwits to use mainly aerobic respiration or fermentation? Explain your answer.

A biology student is investigating the claim that the temperature can be predicted by counting cricket chirps. 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.

- The Mojave Desert of the western United States is characterized by a hot, dry climate. Scientists predict that temperatures in this region will increase by an average of 4.7° F over the next 30 years. Birds found here (like ground-dwelling roadrunners) are endotherms and have many adaptations to reduce the amount of heat absorbed into the body while active in the daytime. If temperatures increase in this area as predicted, how might the plumage (the feathers covering the body) of these roadrunners change under the influence of natural selection? 1:The plumage will likely become longer and increase heat absorption into the body. 2:The plumage will likely become darker and increase heat absorbed from the environment. 3:The plumaqe will likely become lighter and increase heat reflected away from the body. 4:The plumage will likely become thicker and increase the amount of heat trapped by the body.arrow_forwardAccording to Aristotle’s velocity equation, if Achilles runs at a constant velocity of 18 miles per hour, how far can he run in 120 minutes? Achilles can run 18.0 miles at this constant velocity for 120 minutes Achilles can run 27.0 miles at this constant velocity for 120 minutes Achilles can run 36.0 miles at this constant velocity for 120 minutes Achilles can run 54.0 miles at this constant velocity for 120 minutes Achilles can run 72.0 miles at this constant velocity for 120 minutesarrow_forwardThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 2.4 kilograms of CO2 are released when 1 liter of gasoline is burned (20 pounds of CO2 are released when 1gallon is burned). Use this information to determine the number of metric tons of CO2 emitted annually by (a) the car described in Question 1 with a low fuel efficiency, (b) a fleet of 250 million vehicles with this same fuel efficiency, (c) the car described in Question 2 with a high fuel efficiency, and (d) a fleet of 250 million vehicles with this same high fuel efficiency. These calculations provide a rough estimate ofthe CO2 footprints for individual cars and for the entire U.S. fleet with low and high efficiency cars. (Note: 1 kilogram= 2.20 pounds; 1 metric ton = 1,000 kilo grams = 2,200 pounds = 1.1 tons; 1 ton [H11005] 2,000 pounds).arrow_forward

Once the deadline is near, they tend to work UNDER PRESSURE. They get easily mad and complain about everything. Why do you think this thing happen? How will you relate this scenario to the earth's interior that is also under pressure? Answer the following questions, explain your answers by citing your references and evidences (make your answer as brief as possible and underline the key words/ phrases) At present, a significant increase in greenhouse gases and atmospheric temperature is being felt. How will this affect the activities of plants, animals, microorganisms, etc. in terms of photosynthesis?
