Chapter 23, Problem 1SQ
Summary Introduction

Concept introduction: The symbiotic association between two species in which both the species benefit more than it costs them to interact with each other is known as mutualism. Organisms have profit from the symbiotic relationships in various ways for survival.

Answer to Problem 1SQ

Correct answer: The advantages received by a partner in a mutualism can include food, protection, and an increased reproduction. Therefore, option d. is the correct answer.

Explanation of Solution

Reasons for the correct statement:

Option d. is given as “all of the above”. Mutualism develops the benefits of the interactions to both the partners. The advantages of mutualism partner include gut mutualism, protection mutualism, reproductive mutualism, or pollinator mutualism.  There are various organisms that they live in the digestive tract of the animal, which receive food from their host and give advantage to the host by digesting the foods. There are some aggressive ants that protect their host from the predators are the example of predator mutualism. In reproductive mutualism or pollinator mutualism, some organisms such as honey bee transfers pollen from one flower to another of the same species. Without the pollinators the plants are unable to reproduce.

Hence, option d. is the correct answer.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option a. is given as “food”. Mutualism develops the benefits of interaction that includes food, protection, and increased reproduction. In this option, only food is given. Protection and increased reproduction are also the advantages of mutualism. Therefore, option a. is incorrect.

Option b. is given as “protection”. Mutualism develops the benefits of interaction that includes food, protection, and increased reproduction. In this option, only protection is given. Food and increased reproduction are also the advantages of mutualism. Therefore, option b. is incorrect.

Option c. is given as “increased reproduction”. Mutualism develops the benefits of interaction that includes food, protection, and increased reproduction. In this option, only an increased reproduction is given. Food and protection are also the advantages of mutualism. Therefore, option c. is incorrect.

Hence, options a., b., and c. are incorrect.

Conclusion
Mutualism develops the benefits of interaction that includes food, protection, and increased reproduction.

9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. 18 carbons fatty acids 12 carbons 9 glycerol A. Glycerol is broken down to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a glycolysis intermediate via the following pathway shown in the figure below. Notice this process costs one ATP but generates one FADH2. Continue generating ATP with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate using the standard pathway and aerobic respiration. glycerol glycerol-3- phosphate…
Normal dive (for diving humans) normal breathing dive normal breathing Oz level CO2 level urgent need to breathe Oz blackout zone high CO2 triggers breathing 6. This diagram shows rates of oxygen depletion and carbon dioxide accumulation in the blood in relation to the levels needed to maintain consciousness and trigger the urgent need to breathe in diving humans. How might the location and slope of the O₂ line differ for diving marine mammals such as whales and dolphins? • How might the location and slope of the CO₂ line differ for diving marine mammals such as whales and dolphins? • • Draw in predicted lines for O2 and CO2, based on your reasoning above. How might the location of the Urgent Need to Breathe line and the O2 Blackout Zone line differ for diving marine mammals? What physiological mechanisms account for each of these differences, resulting in the ability of marine mammals to stay submerged for long periods of time?
