Textbook Question
Chapter 35.3, Problem 1CSC
Stomach acid can be very destructive to the digestive tracts of people with bulimia, many of whom vomit several times daily. The strong acid in the stomach contents dissolves the protective enamel of teeth, making them extremely prone to decay. Stomach acid also damages tissues of the gums, throat, and esophagus. In extreme cases, the explosive pressure of repeated vomiting can tear or rupture the esophagus—a true medical emergency. Frequent vomiting weakens the stomach lining, allowing acid to attack the stomach wall, which may produce ulcers, and can even cause the stomach to rupture, a situation that can be fatal.
During normal digestion, food moves from the stomach to the small intestine—how is it processed there?

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.)
After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)
Data Table 1Stage Totals PercentInterphase Mitosis: Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis Totals 100 100%
To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…

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?

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.
