Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Blood is a mobile connective tissue in humans. It is also a carrier of metabolites, proteins, hormones and some other cells or substances. It is formed of three parts, which are serum, formed elements and the clotting factors along with platelets. Serum is the part of the blood that is neither composed of clotting factors nor the blood cell.

PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.
How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?
Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?
Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
Other than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)?
How is water unique compared to these other liquids?
What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?
Selection of Traits
What adaptations do scavengers have for locating and feeding on prey?
What adaptations do predators have for capturing and consuming prey?

You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).arrow_forward
