Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 6RAC
Several of the events that occur between the time a physician strikes a patient’s patellar tendon with a rubber hammer and the time the quadriceps femoris contracts (knee-jerk reflex) are listed below:
(1) increased frequency of action potentials in sensory neurons
(2) stretch of the muscle spindles
(3) increased frequency of action potentials in the alpha motor neurons
(4) stretch of the quadriceps femoris
(5) contraction of the quadriceps lemons
Which of the following most closely describes the sequence of events as they normally occur?
a. 4,12,3,5 c. 1,4,3,25 e. 4,2,3,1,5
b. 4.1,3,2,5 d. 4,2,1,3,5

PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.
How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?
Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?
Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
Other than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)?
How is water unique compared to these other liquids?
What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?

You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different.
