To determine:
The phenomenon related to chemistry why lizards become sluggish in cold weather?
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
Lizards become sluggish in cold weather because they are ectotherms whose body temperature depends on their surroundings.
Explanation of Solution
Lizards become sluggish in cold weather because they are ectotherms and their body temperature depends on their surroundings, so when they are in a colder environment their body gets colder. When they get cold they become lethargic and unable to move very quickly.
If you splash with cold water, a lizard’s body gets colder. The drop-in body temperature slows down the lizard because its movement depends on chemical reactions that occur within its muscles, and the rates of those reactions—how fast they occur—are highly sensitive to temperature.
The drop-in body temperature immobilizes the lizards because their movement depends on chemical reactions that occur within their muscles, and the rates of those reactions how fast they occur are highly sensitive to temperature. So, when the temperature drops, the reactions that produce movement in the lizards occur more slowly; therefore, the movement itself slows down.
Lizards become sluggish in cold weather because they are ectotherms whose body temperature depends on their surroundings.

- As you can see in the picture, the instrument uses a Xe source. Given that the instrument is capable of measuring from 200-800nm, if Xe was not used, what other source(s) could be used? Refer to figure 7-3. How many monochrometers does this instrument have? Why? Trace the light as it goes from the Xenon lamp all the way to the circle just slightly to the right and a little bit down from S4. What do you think that circle is? In class we talked about many types of these, which kind do you think this one is for a fluorimeter? Why? Explain. What is/are some strategy(ies) that this instrument has for dealing with noise that you see present in the optics diagram?
