Chapter 40, Problem 10TYU
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY Eastern tent caterpillars (Malacosoma americanum) live in large groups in silk nests resembling tents, which they build in trees. They are among the first insects to be active in early spring, when daily temperature fluctuates from freezing to very hot. Over the course of a day, they display striking differences in behavior: Early in the morning, they rest in a tightly packed group on the tent's east-facing surface. In midafternoon, they are on its undersurface, each caterpillar hanging by a few of its legs. Propose a hypothesis to explain this behavior. How could you test it?

Clown fish are often found swimming within the tentacles of sea anemone whereas other fish avoid them at almost all cost. Which statement below is the best explanation for this observation?
The spicules of the sea anemone cannot penetrate a slime layer surrounding a clown fish but other fish do that have that neutralizing slime layer.
Clown fish are good at maneuvering between the spines of the sea anemone and use them for camouflage.
Clown fish are attracted to the cnidocytes of the sea anemone as their source of food.
Clown fish are immune to the sting of the nematocyst of the sea anemone but other fish are not.
Under what circumstances should natural selection favor possession of a holometabolous life cycle over an ame-tabolous or hemimetabolous life cycle? Consider food availability, spe-cialized body parts, and dispersal ability in your answer.

The study found wind and temperature are more important influences than precipitation for bugs on autumn migration flights spanning thousands of kilometres between their breeding and wintering grounds. Threatened by habitat loss, land use changes and global warming..some 40 percent of insect species risk extinction, yet we know little about what happens to organisms when they migrate. On average, monarchs flew about 12 km/hour and darners about 16 km/hour. The farthest a monarch travelled in one day was 143 km at 31 km/hour, including windspeed. In a single day, a darner flew…arrow_forward

- Sea pens are distinctly different from sea anemones in that sea pens are solitary, while anemones are colonial. the medusa stage of sea pens is mobile, while anemones have a sessile medusa. sea pens are composed of two or more different kinds of polyps, while anemones only have one type. sea pens break down decaying organic matter, while anemones are carnivorous. sea pens contribute to formation of islands and reefs, while anemones destroy them.arrow_forwardDOTa species The pesticide DDT was widely used in the 1940s as a method of insect control. In the late 1950s the first DDT-resistant mosquitoes were discovered, and eventually DDT-resistant mosquitoes were found globally. When DDT is used now, the development of DDT resistance in mosquito populations occurs in months rather than years.Which of the following best explains the observations concerning DDT resistance in mosquitoes? * The proportion of DDT-resistant mosquitoes in a population remains constant due to the metabolic costs of DDT utilization DDT is a chemical signal that delays normal reproductive cycles in many mosquito populations. Natural selection favors DDT-resistant mosquitoes that are already present in a population when DDT exposure occurs. Competition for limited resources causes mosquitoes to migrate to geographical areas that have richer supplies of DDT. A population of 1,492 finches is introduced to a rainforest. Over the next year, the finches showa death rate of…arrow_forwardCoral reefs, bleaching, and climate change Where are the dinoflagellates located inside the coral polyp?
