Question
Chapter 7, Problem 3CT
Summary Introduction
To explain: Whether the flight muscles of bar-tailed godwits expected to be light or dark colored.
Concept introduction:
Dark meat has more myoglobin content that functions to store the oxygen in the muscles and important to fuel the activity. Apart from that, this dark muscle has higher content of saturated fat, which is a good source of energy.

The bar-tailed godwits is a type of shorebird that makes an annual migration from Alaska to New Zealand and bank. The birds make each 11,500-kilometer (7,145-mile) trip by flying over the Pacific Ocean in about nine days, depending on weather, wind speed, and direction of uninterrupted, a feat that is comparable to a human running a nonstop seven-day marathon at 70 kilometer per hour (43.5 miles per hour). Would you expect the flight (breast) muscles of bar-tailed godwits to use mainly aerobic respiration or fermentation? Explain your answer.
The bar-tailed godwit is a type of shorebird that makes an annual migration from Aaska to New Zealand and back. The birds make each 11,500 kilometer (7,145 mile) trip by flying over the Pacific Ocean in about nine days, depending on weather, wind speed, and direction of travel. One bird was observed to make the entire journey uninterrupted , a feat that is comparable to a human running a nonstop seven-day marathon at 70 kilometers per hour (43.5 miles per hour). Would you expect the flight (breast) muscles of bar-tailed godwits to use mainly aerobic respiration or fermentation? Explain your answer.

- Eastern tent caterpillars (Malacosoma americanum) live in large groups in silk nests resembling tents, which they build in trees. They are among the first insects to be active in early spring, when daily temperature fluctuates from freezing to very hot. Over the course of a day, they display striking differences in behavior: Early in the morning, they rest in a tightly packed group on the tent’s east-facing surface. In midafternoon, they are on its undersurface, each caterpillar hanging by a few of its legs. Propose a hypothesis to explain this behavior. How could you test it?arrow_forwardAt which sampling rate are you most likely to miss a very quick event?1/s 200/s 100/s 500/sarrow_forwardHow does increased atmospheric CO2 affect the ability of marine invertebrates to grow hard structures, such as the shells of mollusks or the skeleton of stony corrals? When exposed to high CO2, marine organisms no longer need hard shells and facultatively reduce their shells through phenotypic plasticity. CO2 reacts with water to produce lye. As a result, increased atmospheric CO2 causes an increased pH in the water preventing these animals from producing hard structures. CO2 reacts with water to produce carbonic acid. As a result, increased atmospheric CO2 causes a reduced pH in the water preventing these animals from producing hard structures. CO2 and other greenhouse gases cause increased heat energy to be maintained within the ocean. This increase in heat energy prevents shell formation in many marine animals. When exposed to high CO2, marine organisms no longer need hard shells and evolve through natural selection to grow reduced shells.arrow_forward
