Answer to Problem 1TYU

Correct answer:

The bilaterian is the clade that contains the greatest number of animal species. Therefore, option (B) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

The division of body into two equal halves and presence of three germ layers are the shared derived characters that define the clade “Bilateria”. This clade comprises the most of the animal phyla and it members.

Option (B) is given as “the bilaterians”.

As,” the bilaterian is the clade that contains the greatest number of animal species”, it is the right answer.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

Reason for the incorrect statements:

Option (A) is given as “the vertebrates”.

The vertebrates are those animals that are characterized by the presence of notochord, pharyngeal gill slits, dorsal nerve cord and post-anal tail. They do not comprise the greatest number of animal species. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option (C) is given as “the deuterostomes”.

The deuterostomes are those animals that develop anus first and mouth later and they do not comprise the greatest number of animal species. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option (D) is given as “the insects”.

The insects are hexapod animals with two pair of wings, exoskeleton and antennae, and they do not comprise the greatest number of animal species. So, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect.

Conclusion

The bilaterians is the clade that contains the greatest number of animal species.

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?
