Summary Introduction
To describe:
A hypothesis concerning the relative rates of evaporative water loss by populations of Merriam’s kangaroo rats (Dipodomys merriami) that live in moist versus dry environments and the testing of the hypothesis using a humidity sensor to detect evaporative water loss by the kangaroo rats.
Concept introduction:
The variation in nephron structure occurs from species to species as the habitat changes. The kangaroo rats and other desert animal’s release hyperosmotic urine as their loop of Henle extend deep into the medulla. This long loop produces the concentrated urine so minimizes the water loss. Humidity sensor can used to test the evaporation loss by them.

HOTSPOT ANSWER
Question 18
After pulling in their fishing nets, Juniper discovered a species of fish they hadn't
seen before. The fish has large gills, a swim bladder, a streamlined body, and
well-developed muscles that can withstand changes in pressure.
Press the hotspot that indicates the water layer where this fish most likely lives.
Hint: If it can withstand changes in pressure, it's probably swimming be-
tween zones.

- The migratory eel, Anguilla rostrata, is born and lives the juvenile (immature) part of its life in a freshwater environment, but then migrates thousands of miles through the ocean as an adult in order to breed. These eels are known to regulate their internal water and salt balance. What adaptations would you expect this eel to have in order to transition from fresh water to salt water at these two life stages The adult eels would be better at removing salt from their bodies compared to juveniles. The adult eels would spend energy keeping salt in their bodies. The juvenile eels would spend energy keeping water in their bodies. The juvenile eels would be better at removing salt from their bodies compared to adults. please helparrow_forwardI need help making changes to this essay using these research articles: Wood, H.

- Ich is a parasitic infection of freshwater fish. The parasite lives on the skin and gills of the fish. One of the effects of the infestation is skin hyperplasia, which is a thickening of the skin. This results in a decrease in water absorption through the skin and a decrease in salt uptake through the gills. What is this an example of?

The brown bears that inhabit the Kodiak islands of Alaska eat a wide variety of foods, including berries, leaves, and insects. One of their main food sources, though, is the salmon that swims upstream to spawn in the fall. Great numbers of bears gather in and ; around the streams to hunt the large schools of traveling salmon. There are so many fish moving upstream in the fall that the bears cannot catch them all. 1)Kodiak bears gathering at streams for the salmon run 2)Salmon moving upstream in large schoolsarrow_forwardPlease answer Trout only live in very cold mountain lakes and streams.
