Concept explainers
Complete this concept map on animal movement.
To complete: The given map showing the animal movement.
Introduction:
Movement is a distinguishing characteristic of animals. Even animals that are attached to a substrate move their body parts. All types of animal movement have underlying similarities. At the cellular level, every form of movement involves protein strands moving against one another, an energy-consuming process.

(a)
Correct answer: Skeleton.
Movement in animals requires both the skeleton as well as the muscle. There are many types of skeletons present among the various organisms, which include the endoskeleton, exoskeleton, and hydrostatic skeleton. Each skeleton is associated with different types of movement, such as, flying, walking, running, crawling, and others. Hence, the correct answer is skeleton.
(b)
Correct answer: Muscles.
In every organism, muscles are required to generate a required amount of energy, whether walking, running, swimming, or flying. Hence, the correct answer is muscles.
(c)
Correct answer: Exoskeleton.
The skeletons found among the diverse group of organisms are categorized into three types, which include the endoskeleton, hydrostatic skeleton, and exoskeleton. The exoskeleton is primarily found in the insects. Hence, the correct answer is exoskeleton.
(d)
Correct answer: Sarcomere.
Sarcomeres are the units of muscle contraction; they are found in the striated muscles and are present between 2-Z lines as a repeating unit. Hence, the correct answer is sarcomere.
(e)
Correct answer: Bones and Cartilages.
Endoskeletons are present inside the body and made up of bones and cartilages. Usually, all the vertebrates have a skeleton type as an endoskeleton. Hence, the correct answer is bones and cartilages.

- PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen. How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?

Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.arrow_forwardOther than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)?

You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).arrow_forward
