Chapter 3, Problem 1TC

Nutritionists advise us to avoid consuming oils from tropical plants because, compared with oils from temperate plants, they contain high levels of saturated fatty acids. Let’s try to determine a physiological reason for this difference in fatty acid composition.

Chapter 3, Problem 1TC, Nutritionists advise us to avoid consuming oils from tropical plants because, compared with oils

Weeks of Exposure to Chilling (5°C)

  1. Linolenic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid. What structure does an unsaturated fatty acid take? What happens to its level following exposure of plants to cold temperatures?
  2. If you put a product with a high level of unsaturated fats (such as canola oil) and a product with a high level of saturated fats (such as butter) in your refrigerator (chilling temperature), how would they differ in consistency? Why?
  3. How might fatty acid composition relate to chilling tolerance in plants?

1.) Community Diversity: The brown and orange line represent two different plant communities. a. Which color represents the community with a higher species richness? b. Which color represents the community with a higher species evenness? Relative abundance 0.1 0.04 0.001 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 Rank abundance c. What is the maximum value of the Simpson's diversity index (remember, Simpson's index is D = p², Simpson's diversity index is 1-D)? d. If the Simpson's diversity index equals 1, what does that mean about the number of species and their relative abundance within community being assessed?
