Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Human is a social animal. He lives in a society with other persons and organisms. Due to this fact, he develops a way, or an attitude or thinking of a particular person or group of persons and he reacts to him/her accordingly. This way or attitude in which a person acts of others or towards himself or towards others is called his behavior.

Answer to Problem 1MCQ

Correct answer:

The correct answer is the question - How do alarm calls affect prairie dog fitness? Therefore option c. is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

Behavior of a person depends on many factors like the interaction, attitude of others, fondness and some other factors. If a particular person or any organism has a threat from other person or organism or has a liking for some or the person or thing or any organism he or she develops a protective and a restrictive behavior for that particular person or organism.

Option c. is given as “How do alarm calls affect prairie dog fitness?”.

As, “the question - How do alarm calls affect prairie dog fitness? highlight the behavior and the relation of alarm and the prairie dog”, is the right answer.

Hence, option c. is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option a. is given as “How does a squid alter its color to blend in with its environment?”

This question enquires and gives a hint about the process not about a behavior. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option b. is given as “How does a hummingbird's body shape influence its ability to hover?”

This question depicts a process and is not related to behavior. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option d. is given as “Which cues do monarch butterflies use during migration?”

This question asks about the type of monarch butterflies and not about their behavior. So, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options a., b., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion

The behavior of an organism shows or tells about the way in which any person, animal or any organism gives response to any particular condition.

A sample of blood was taken from the above individual and prepared for haemoglobin analysis. However, when water was added the cells did not lyse and looked normal in size and shape. The technician suspected that they had may have made an error in the protocol – what is the most likely explanation?   The cell membranes are more resistant than normal.   An isotonic solution had been added instead of water.   A solution of 0.1 M NaCl had been added instead of water.   Not enough water had been added to the red blood cell pellet.   The man had sickle-cell anaemia.

With reference to their absorption spectra of the oxy haemoglobin intact line) and deoxyhemoglobin (broken line) shown in Figure 2 below, how would you best explain the reason why there are differences in the major peaks of the spectra? Figure 2. SPECTRA OF OXYGENATED AND DEOXYGENATED HAEMOGLOBIN OBTAINED WITH THE RECORDING SPECTROPHOTOMETER 1.4 Abs < 0.8 06 0.4 400 420 440 460 480 500 520 540 560 580 600 nm 1. The difference in the spectra is due to a pH change in the deoxy-haemoglobin due to uptake of CO2- 2. There is more oxygen-carrying plasma in the oxy-haemoglobin sample. 3. The change in Mr due to oxygen binding causes the oxy haemoglobin to have a higher absorbance peak. 4. Oxy-haemoglobin is contaminated by carbaminohemoglobin, and therefore has a higher absorbance peak 5. Oxy-haemoglobin absorbs more light of blue wavelengths and less of red wavelengths than deoxy-haemoglobin
