Chapter 6.10, Problem 2MC

Summary Introduction

To determine:

That which group of beetles would fly farther when placed in a device that measures how far an animal can fly at ${20}^{\text{o}}\text{C}$, if two groups of active beetles are held at ${20}^{\text{o}}\text{C}$ and another at ${30}^{\text{o}}\text{C}$ and released after several hours.

Concept introduction:

Insects while flying and pollinating flowers use energy due to the activity of flight muscles. Insects try to spend less energy and store it to provide energy to flight muscles for the activity of flying. The flight muscles use energy very efficiently in favorable temperatures.
