Question
Chapter 47, Problem 14TYU
Summary Introduction
To determine: Nutritional lifestyle of an unfamiliar animal.
Introduction: The food chain is divided into each tropic level, and the culmination of many food chains together forms the food web. Each tropic level has a set of organisms that belong to a particular group such as producers, herbivores, carnivores, and so on.

Students have asked these similar questions
The presence of villi and smooth muscle increases the
surface area for nutrient absorption in the gut of many
animals.
This statement is
(T/F).
• If true, enter x in the blanks below.
• If false, then how would you change the sentence to
make it correct? You can change two words at most.
Changes that just reverse the meaning (e.g. changing "is"
to "isn't" or "all" to "none") will not earn credit.
I would change the word(s)
to the
word(s)
to make the sentence correct.
Which conclusion is most strongly supported by the data in the table?
Hey can you help me draw a graph showing these results and include a correctly labeled x and y axis. According to the the picture I have attached. Thank you so much your the best :) also side note: the data is trying to test if lizards eat more when it’s cool or hot out and this is how they decided to test it.

This dinosaur, which walked on Earth about 125 million years ago, had feathers and was about the same size as a turkey - but don't be fooled. This dino's bite was a lot worse than a turkey's gobble. After a close (and careful!) examination of the dino's teeth, scientists recently concluded that this dinosaur was probably poisonous. The study was led by David Burnham, who works and teaches at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. Source: www.sciencenewsforkids.org 1. State one inference that could be made based on the fact that this dinosaur had feathers. 2. Extension Activity: Evaluate the different types of evidence supporting evolutionary relationships between species. Which type of evidence do you think provides the most support for evolution today? Justify your response.

Why do Cnidarians, Flatworms and Protists have simple or no extensively developed digestive system? (clue: mention their digestive structure and their mode of feeding) What are the structural adaptations of snakes that allowed them to eat and digest a whole prey? Why do insects of one species have a changing diet requirement during their life history? Different birds have varying food habits, discuss the structural and physiological adaptations that allow them to process these foods. What are the four stages of the digestive process, describe each stage/step and indicate what are the products/substances produced and their fate? Discuss the role of the endocrine system in controlling digestion. (no plagiarism pls, thank u!)arrow_forward

Subjects in the experiment were paid for their participation. The participants were divided into four groups: those who consumed the meal and ran, those who consumed the meal and did not run, those who did not consume the meal and ran, and those who did not consume the meal and did not run. Participants chosen to consume the meal were given a 4.5 oz energy gel containing 88g of carbohydrates. Five minutes later, the participants who were chosen to run completed a five-kilometer race as quickly as possible. We recorded each participant's digestive symptoms for the next four hours. Compared to all other groups, runners who ate the meal were much more likely to have acidic stomach juices enter their esophagus, to have chyme exit the body through the mouth, and to have their intestines fail to absorb sufficient water.

- A Science 30 student learns that the LD50 of DDT is 87mg/kg, for rats, when the rat ingests the DDT directly. Which of the following statements correctly explains the LD50? Group of answer choices a) 50 rats will die if they are given less than the 87mg of DDT per kilogram of body weight b) 50 rats will die if they eat 87 mg of DDT c) 50% of the rat test population will survive if given 87mg of DDT per kilogram of body weight d)50% of the test population of rats will die if given 87 mg of DDTarrow_forwardOne major aspect of animal life is the need to move as part of capturing food. One slight difficulty in this effort, however, is that the complex machinery required to make movement possible requires proteins maintained as specific temperature I choose one protein unique to animals you think is particularly important and do some research on what temperatures it can operate at Report the results here about it's response to temperature For one animal that uses that protein from part 1-what temperature range might they experience and is it possible the protein might leave it's optimal range (e.g.) might a fish using said protein experience a large enough shift in environmental temperature to interfere with the protein functioning)? Under what circumstances might it experience this if true what strategy does the animal from part 2 use to make sure the proteins it requires stay at their optimal temperature?

- Wisdom Teeth: Possible function?arrow_forwardLesson 8: The Role of Enzymes Focus on Inquiry Scientists often make inferences. Recall that an inference is based on observations and previous knowledge. An inference is not data, but it should be consistent with the data. Recall that pH can affect the function of enzymes. A scientist was studying the digestive system of alligators. Alligators have very acidic stomachs, but their intestines are closer to neutral. The scientist identified two important enzymes in the digestive tract of alligators W-protease and T-protease. She conducted an investigation into how a change in pH affected the activity of each enzyme. At the conclusion of the investigation, she presented her findings in the line graph shown.... Digestive Enzyme Activity Tan-protease --- Wx-protease 4 6 10 12 pH Based on these data and your knowledge of enzymes, what inferences can you draw about which enzyme is most likely to be active in the alligator intestine and which is most likely to be active in the stomach? Explain…arrow_forwardat a large Assume that you are the nurse elementary school where children frequently come to you with nosebleeds. Design an experiment to test whether dropping keys down the back of the neck causes nosebleeds to stop. (Assume parents of all children in the school have given permission for their participation in the experiment and you have followed ethical guidelines for research with human subjects. One possible explanation for why keys down the back might actually be effective in stopping a nosebleed is that they are cold, causing blood vessels to constrict. Treatments should be randomly assigned to the children. Describe how you accomplish this. That is, when a child with a nosebleed comes to the nurse's office, how will you know which treatment he or she should get?arrow_forward
