Question
Chapter 25, Problem 22TYK
Summary Introduction
To hypothesize: Why dolphin flippers do not freeze and also to describe an experiment to test the proposed hypothesis. In addition to this, also determine the result that would be expected if the hypothesis is correct.
Concept introduction:
Dolphins can maintain a constant internal body temperature. Therefore, they are endotherms. They have various mechanisms to maintain a constant body temperature, such as the presence of blubber, a thick layer of fat in their skin and counter current heat exchange mechanism.

: You get in your car to drive to class.
(1) You turn the key, and the engine starts making a clicking sound, but does not start.
(2) You think to yourself, "The battery must be dead”.
(3) So, you borrow the battery from your neighbor's car (with permission, of course) and
exchange it for the one in your car.
(4)You figure that if the battery in your car is dead and you replace it then the car will start.
(5) You get in the car again, turn the key, and the car starts right up.

Consider the other factors you could have / should have controlled in this experiment.arrow_forwardConsider the following scenario: A group of five treasure hunters have been hired to retrieve some artefacts believed to be in an abandoned castle in an environment similar to the Arctic tundra (this is a quasi-fantasy land where disparate climates can co-exist in ways they can’t in reality, but everyone is human and has human physiology). 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_forwardYou find an old data set from a hibernation study. Unfortunately, the only information is what is listed in the table below: a) Based upon the data presented, what type of organism is this data set likely to have been based on? Describe it using the vocabulary that we learned in class. b) What might the species be? c) Graph the body temperature data provided in the table AND also graph what the body temperature data might look like for a small hibernating mammal. You do not have to include a full figure caption but do need to include a legend, if applicable.arrow_forward
- You are starting a dairy farm and have read that dairy cows make more milk when they are relaxed. Since your mother listens to classical music to relax, you wonder whether cows listening to classical music would make more milk. You have 40 cows. You decide to test the hypothesis that playing classical music will make cows produce more milk. Briefly summarize how you will design a controlled experiment to test your hypothesis. Then Identify the explanatory variable, the response variable, and the controlled variable in your study. And, finally, make a prediction and explain how you would interpret your results.arrow_forwardWhat is meant by the experimental ablation method of studying the brain? a.

- Below are three statements - two of which are truths and one is a lie. Which of the following statements is a lie? Select one: a.Some organisms have the function to be responsive only, some have the ability for movement only, but organisms are rarely found to have both functionalities. b.Organisms that are responsive yet are not capable of moving become more prone to dangers, injuries, and eventually lead to its death. c.If an organism has no ability to be responsive to changes in both internal and external environment despite being able to move, then the organism is most likely to be susceptible to danger or even lead to its own death.arrow_forwardGiovani Aldini's reanimation experiments, especially in humans, were actually aimed at achieving what?

Today many health stores sell amino acid supplement powders and capsules to promote muscle growth. Companies that produce these supplements promise improved body tones and larger muscles to people that use these amino acid supplements. ABC Health Products conducted a test and reported that after several months, 80% of the people who took the amino acid supplements had an average increase of 2 inches in their chest and upper arm diameters. Mr. Atlas, the owner of a local health store, noticed that the customers who buy the amino acid supplements looked more muscular than those who did not. Bill Murphy, a minor league baseball player maintains "after taking these pills, my biceps grew 2 inches in less than a month. I feel stronger and my muscle tone is better. I need to be strong to hit balls out of the park." Bill takes his supplements everyday after his workout with his team's trainer.…arrow_forward
