(a)

Summary Introduction

To classify:

‘A surge of epinephrine initiates a flight response in a gazelle’ as either a proximate or an ultimate cause of the behavior.

Concept introduction:

Animal behavior is a very broad topic that covers everything that is done by animals. It includes movement and other activities that are performed by the animals. It is such a topic that helps to connect the two streams ecology and animal physiology to a great extent. In an animal behavior, there is involvement, and connection of many physiological systems and connections among the endocrine, muscular, nervous, reproductive and many other organ systems.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To classify:

‘Turtle uses Earth’s magnetic field lines as guides during migration’ either as a proximate or an ultimate cause of the behavior and for all proximate causes. Also, speculate about a possible ultimate cause of the behavior.

Summary Introduction

To classify:

The descriptions that ‘a small mammal ignores food sources that have low energy and that are difficult to obtain’ as either a proximate or an ultimate cause of the behavior and in case of proximate causes speculate about a possible ultimate cause of the behavior.

Summary Introduction

To classify:

The descriptions in which ‘a bird distracts its predator near its nest, which increases the chance of survival of the nestlings’ as either an ultimate or a proximate cause of the behavior and for all proximate causes give a possible cause of the behavior.

The metabolic pathway below is used for the production of the purine nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in eukaryotic cells. Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.
