Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 11IMT
For each statement, identify which major theme is evident (the relationship of structure to function, information flow, pathways that transform energy and matter, interactions within biological systems, or evolution) and explain how the statement relates to the theme. If necessary, review the theme descriptions in this chapter.
11. Although green sea turtles consume a lot of vegetation, they get few nutrients from each mouthful, requiring them to graze frequently.

In approximately one paragraph, discuss at least two examples of how our biological evolutionary history is relevant to the ecology of human food production and consumption. Your examples should be grounded in the Spencer Wells reading and film assignments from this module. Try to relate these examples to your own life experience (and/or your own body of knowledge beyond this course).

- Background: 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.

Consider fennec foxes living in the desert. Identify three major abiotic conditions, describe how these conditions would impact the organisms' ability to maintain homeostasis (1-2 sentences each), and discuss potential adaptations (morphological and/or behavioral) that would assist in maintaining homeostasis (2-3 sentences each).

QUESTION: During the winter, many species of amphibians and reptiles go into a hibernation-like state called overwintering. They eat little or no food, slow their metabolism and breathing rate dramatically, and most of their bodily functions shut down. Interestingly, many of these species choose to spend the winter underwater. Why might it be advantageous to overwinter at the bottom of a pond rather than on land?

Their expedition is happening in winter, and the group set out each carrying a pack of supplies including tents, sleeping gear, and food for either 3 well-fed days or up to 8 days with rationing (approximately 30kg each). The treasure hunters travel on foot to get to the castle through lands where there are predators such as wolves and bears. They have two options in terms of speed of travel: slow (7 days to castle), and fast (4 days to castle). 1) As an advisor to the group, which speed would you say they should travel? Note – neither speed is wrong however your answer must justify your choice in terms of physiology. Once the group get to the…arrow_forward
