2.2.9 Explore: Redox Reactions and the Body
1. Which dragonflies undergo the change from yellow to red, and when in their life cycle does it occur?
When gynandromorphic dragonflies reach sexual maturity, their pigmentation changes.
2. What types of in vivo experiments did the researchers perform, and what were the results?
Though one was conducted in vivo and the other in vitro, both experiments involved animal
investigations. The in vivo experiment's findings showed that the dragonfly's color or pigmentation
changed from red to yellow only locally, severely harming it and causing it to perish quickly. Based on
the in vitro data, it was shown that dragonflies do undergo color changes as a natural part of their sexual
maturity process, which is dependent on redox-dependent chemical reactions.
3. Identify the oxidant that changed the dragonflies from red to yellow.
The oxidant that was put into the dragonflies to observe the color shift was sodium nitrite.
4. Identify the reductant that changed the dragonflies from yellow to red.
The reductant that was injected into the dragonflies to observe the color change was ascorbic acid.
5. The researchers were unable to conclusively determine why the color change occurs only in males.
What speculation did they make about this observation?
It is hypothesized that the redox-dependent pigmentation differences between male and female
dragonflies play a significant role in the pigmentation shift. What is meant by that? It indicates that the
redox responses of male and female dragonflies differ, which accounts for the variations in color.
6. Briefly describe how the researchers measured the reduction activity.
The researchers had two distinct answers that they could inject into the dragonflies, to answer the
question briefly. There were two: an oxidant and a reductant. However, as the query only requests the
reduction, I will only address that particular task. Both male and female insects were given an injection of
a dye, and the researchers watched for a change in pigmentation over time. They documented the health
and well-being of the dragonfly, noted any changes from the start of the experiment, and noted the
outcomes for both the male and female specimens.
