Question
Chapter 38.5, Problem 2MC
Summary Introduction
To analyze: The reason that some monarchs along the Gulf Coast stopped migrating and why this makes them prone to parasitic infections.
Introduction: The vivid orange, black, and white patterns on monarch butterflies make them stand out among other enormous, gorgeously colorful butterflies. The vibrant color of a monarch gives a signal to predators: Eat me not because I am poisonous. The only food source for the butterflies, while they are in the caterpillar stage, is milkweed, which is where the butterflies acquire their toxins from.

In your model be sure to include all the structures appropriate to your cell. You may model a bacterial cell or an archaea. You will model at least 4 structures in any model. Next, build a model of a virus using the same type of materials. You may choose any type of virus but be sure you can illustrate the key features of a virus (head shape for example). Once complete, take multiple photographs of your models from all angles. Include these images in a document that also contains the following completed table format.

In addition, you should make sure you link each level to the previous level, emphasizing the structural relationships. The human body is organized into a structural hierarchy that progresses from the macroscopic organismal level down to the microscopic chemical level. Each level builds upon the previous one, creating increasingly complex structures. Below is the hierarchy, from largest to smallest, with explanations linking each level to its predecessor: 1. Organismal Level The entire living human body.Relationship: All lower levels work together to sustain life at this highest level. 2. Organ System Level Groups of organs working together to perform major functions.Examples: circulatory, nervous, digestive systems.Relationship: The organismal…arrow_forward
