Textbook Question
Chapter 44, Problem 11PIAT
Honeybees live in social groups consisting of a queen, up to several hundred male drones, and thousands of infertile female workers. The drones mate with the queen only, and the workers protect the hive, forage, and feed and groom the queen. The health of the hive depends on the female workers performing these duties instead of reproducing. What roles do pheromones play in maintaining a functional beehive?
Scientists have identified dozens of pheromones used by honeybees for communication. Which type of sensory system are pheromones used in?
a. mechanoreception
b. photoreception
c. chemoreception
d. thermoreception
e. electroreception

When a single celled slime mold has run out of food source, the cell will initiate the cell signaling process that results in the release of cyclic-AMP (CAMP). CAMP then
acts as a signal that has two results
1) the cell tells itself it is still in fact without food and to continue the signal
2) the cell tells other local/neighboring single celled slime molds that there is not food near by so they too can scream the CAMP signal of hunger.
What type of signal distance is accomplished in result 17?
O a.
autocrine
O b
endocrine
рarасrine
O d. synaptic
e.
contact dependent
My college Bio teacher asked me this question in response to one of my photos I posted on Facebook: "I wonder why some birds exhibit sexual dimorphism while others do not."
Can someone explain this phenomenom in detail?
What is honest signaling? Describe one honest signal that you produce.

- What does this figure from the bee paper show? a) Different bees are active at different times of the day b) The bees in the colonies observed were active almost exclusively during the hours of 8 am-midnight c) the bees can detect UV light, allowing them to center their activity at certain times of day d) Bees are more active at dawn and dusk than the other times of dayarrow_forwardmention the significance of pheromone in comunication?arrow_forwardYou have received a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to study male signalling in peacock spiders. After your university takes most of that money for overhead costs, you now have a small amount left over to spend on peacock spider research over the next 3 years. What is the first question that you would focus on that you think would increase our understanding of peacock spider male displays the most? State a relevant hypothesis and explain briefly how you would go about testing it.arrow_forward
- The brown-nosed tweety bird can be found in both urban and wild environments. Researchers collected 100 birds from a forest, and divided them into two groups of 50 birds, each with 25 males and 25 females. One group was released into the forest and the other into a nearby city. After 1 year, a group of hardworking students collected all 100 birds and measured stress indices associated with signalling by their "stress glucocorticoid hormone", corticosterone (a steroid). They find that compared to the forest birds, the urban birds have greater levels of a stressed phenotype. Which of the following observations is MOST LIKELY to be part of the explanation for this observation? The urban birds have similar levels of corticosterone, but higher levels of the membrane receptor for this glucocorticoid The urban birds have genetic differences in their glucocorticoid receptor to give it higher affinity, making them more sensitive to corticosterone. The urban birds have lower expression of genes…arrow_forwardWhy is Drosophila melanogaster a relevant model of substance abuse disorders? Select all that apply. Partial point deduction for incorrect choices. The fruit fly lacks dopaminergic neurons, making it a good negative model for addiction. Because flies do not display dose-dependent responses to psychoactive drugs, fewer experimental treatments are needed. The fruit fly has a homologous circadian clock, which can be manipulated to investigate changes in physiological responses to drugs. Fruit flies are deuterostomes. Several fly genes responsible for level of ethanol sensitivity have human orthologs. The fruit fly also has neuropeptides secreted by brain cells that influence preference behaviors.arrow_forwardWhat is a chemical substance that is released from a cell and has a local effect on the same cell type? a) Intracellular mediator b) Paracrine chemical signal c) Autocrine chemical signal d) Pheromone e) Hormonearrow_forward
