Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The lophotrochozoans are the descendants of one common ancestor. The name lophotrochozoa is because of the morphological traits found in these animals, the lophophore and the trochophore.

Answer to Problem 2TYK

Correct answer:

The lophophore is a structure found in 3 phyla out of the 13 phyla, categorized under the lophotrochozoans. The mouth is ringed by tufts and helps in suspension feeding.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation/Justification for the correct answer:

Option (a) is given as a filter-feeding specialized structure. The lophophore is a structure that helps in suspension feeding and bears tufts. This structure is found in phoronids, bryozoans, and brachiopods. Hence, Option (a) is correct.

Explanation for incorrect answer:

Option (b) is given as a single opening in species with a blind gut. The lophophore is a feeding structure, so it is not a single opening in species. So, it is an incorrect option.

Option (c) is given as a distinctive type of larva with a band of cilia. It is not a particular type of larva as it is only a feeding structure present in the lophotrochozoans. So, it is an incorrect option.

Option (d) is given as a synapomorphy that defines lophotrochozoans. Spiral cleavage in these organisms is a synapomorphy. Lophophore is a feeding structure rather than a synapomorphy. So, it is an incorrect option.

Hence, options (b), (c), and (d) are incorrect.

Conclusion

The lophophore is present around the mouth as a ring of tentacles, which are ciliated. The food particles present in the water are taken up by the water currents to draw food.

Glitazones reduce insulin resistance by binding to a transcription factor in adipocytes, thereby reducing thesecretion of fatty acids. Glitazones are taken orally (in pill form). Using pharmacokinetic modeling, deriveequations to describe how the concentration of glitazones varies in the plasma as a function of time. Yourequations should be of the form: dCglitazone /dt = something, or dMglitazone /dt = something. Your model shouldinclude three compartments: the gut, the plasma, and the fatty tissues. Make sure to include a diagram thatillustrates your thinking, state all assumptions, and define your variables. Do not solve the equations.
Case Study—Ella Review the case study and then answer Parts A through F. Ella has a family history of diabetes. She wants to follow a healthful eating pattern that can lower her risk for developing this condition. Her dietitian recommends a goal of 450 to 600 kcal per meal and advises Ella to follow the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for carbohydrates and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020, which recommend limiting added sugar. She also recommends that Ella choose whole grains rather than processed grains. Ella decides to pack a lunch to take to work every day.
