Chapter 34, Problem 10TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason that giant insects are improbable.
Introduction:
The largest insects known till now existed in the Paleozoic era. These were Paleozoic dragonflies with a wing span of half a meter. However, movies like Godzilla have shown creatures with several dozen meter wing spans. These giant insect creatures are improbable to exist.

Some patients with severe emphysema have constant high levels of carbon dioxide because of inadequate
ventilation. The central nervous system breathing center in these patients becomes insensitive to carbon dioxide and
more dependent on the level of oxygen, which is low. These patients are said to have “oxygen-dependent respiratory
drive". What might happen if you give such a person high levels of supplemental oxygen?

- Test Your Understanding 1. Which of the following is a benefit of gas exchange in air compared with gas exchange in water? (a) air has a higher concentration of molecular oxygen (b) oxygen diffuses more slowly in air (c) no energy is required for ventilation (d) moist respiratory surface is not needed (e) air is denser than waterarrow_forwardThis is my concept map below,(not a drawing) that connects the digestive, circulatory, and respiratory system. Could you recreate it exactly like that but with more pictures. Rule: don't do it like the second image do it exactly like the first image but with more picturesarrow_forwardWhat causes air to enter human lungs? The contraction of the diaphragm increases the volume of the lungs, decreasing the pressure relative to the air outside the body. Smooth muscle in the trachea guides the flow of air into the lungs. Air diffuses into the lungs due to the decreased O2 content relative to the air outside our body. The cilia in the trachea guide the flow of air into the lungs. The decreased concentration of O2 in the lungs decreases the density of that air and denser air outside the body "sinks" into the lungs.arrow_forward
- I am stuck on number 7 I think because mammals are more bigger so they intake more oxygen to get more energy ?arrow_forwardJay Guide The human embryo and the embryos of other animals with backbones have gill slits. According to the modern evolutionary theory, this best supports the idea: Mark only one oval. That fish are our closest relatives All embryos breathe through their gills All animals with backbones are related by common ancestry All organisms have gill slits at an early stage in their developmentarrow_forwardmultiple choicearrow_forward

Metamorphosis of the tadpole frog into the adult frog is spontaneous and is triggered by the accumulation of __________. The ________ muscle is responsible for powering the downstroke (ie. downward flapping) of the pigeon’s wing.arrow_forward
- In insects, as in some other animals we have seen, the hemocoel is primarily responsible for: providing a place for food storage retracting the gubernaculum and the pharynx O coeling the hemo replacing the intestinal system with increased surface area holding and circulating body fluids protecting the anterior gangliaarrow_forwardWhich structure and function relationship does not make sense? The skin tissue has large areas of empty space to allow efficient movement of fat tissue. The web-like structure of neurons are dendrites and axons that function to transport electrical charge across the length of the neuron. The open spaces in the lungs allows for efficient gas exchange. O The beating cilia on the inside layer of the trachea functions to prevent unwanted material from entering the lungs. O The holes observed on bone samples function to hold capillaries for nutrient transport.arrow_forwardchoose Oxygenated blood is : 1- Dark blood and it circulate in arteries 2- Light blood and it circulate in veins 3-Light blood and it circulate in arteries 4-Dark blood and it circulate in veins Involves meiosis (according to sexual reproduction) present in : 1-Human 2-All animals 3-Plant and bacteria 4-Bacteria onlyarrow_forward
