Textbook Question
Chapter 50, Problem 8TYU
EVOLUTION CONNECTION In general, locomotion on land will require more energy than locomotion in water. By integrating what you learned about animal form and function in Unit 7, discuss some of the evolutionary adaptations of mammals that support the high energy requirements for moving on land.

. Salmon are anadromous fish and must deal with osmotic changes in their environment in extreme ways. Researchers have found that Na*/K* - ATPase is found in two different kinds of cells in the gill tissue. One type is found in the filament bases that appear to be active when salmon are adults only. The other types of cells are found in the lamellae folds and appear to be active during its juvenile stages. Speculate on these findings as to how this allows salmon to complete their unique life cycle.
Thinking Analytically
Do you think there are more species of animals on land or in the ocean? What about absolute numbers of animals—are there more animals on land or in the ocean?

Ten years ago, scientists discovered a well-preserved set of dinosaur remains in China. 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.

- Can I get this rewritten While the surface area of an organism scales as a square of the length (L^2) and the volume of an organism increases as the cube of the length (V^3), basal metabolic rate is not affected by the ratio of surface area to length of an organism.This can be seen in the data extracted from the ADW Quardvaark database as well which showed that mammals had an R^2 value of 0.7258 when looking at their length and basal metabolic rate and an R^2 value of 0.0074 when looking at the length of mammals and their length-specific basal metabolic rate. Birds had an R^2 value of 0.1678 when looking at their length and basal metabolic rate and an R^2 value of 0.0021 when looking at the length and length-specific basal metabolic rate of birds.arrow_forwardplease see attachedarrow_forwardThinking Critically When did the first true animals evolve?
