| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| cardiac output q typically increase in excersicing animals driven by cahnges in heart rate stroke volume both neither | both cardiac output is equal to frequency x volume frequency is the heart rate |
| in ocean rift tube worms adapted to derive energy from chemautorphic bacteria the circulatory system is adapted to deliver __ to the bacteria carbon dioxide and H2s H2s Nitrogen and H2s o2 and H2s | o2 and H2s chemoautotrophic oxidze h2s and always need o2 |
| which gut fermentaion generally allows for greater energy extraction from cellulose | foregut |
| among vertebrtes the most acidic stomach content is found in | scavengers because they eat a lot of bacteria |
| is the acidic gut more if an immune thing or digestive thing | immune thing |
| you measrue the metabolic cost of verticle climbing in a campus squirrel by attaching a gas mask and having a squirll run on a vertical orientated mill. you measure the RQ = .96 this means what type of fuel for its metabolism | carbs Rq = 1 = carbs rq = .71 = lipids |
| if a migrating hummingbird meets its energy needs by burning pure sugar it will use about __ oxygen as it would use if it were burning pure fat | the same amount differnet fuesl have differnet energy content all the different fuels weather it is lipids or carbs same amount of energy yields same amount of o2 therefore its the same since the energy is the same |
| if we have .5 grams of carb and .5 grams of fat which has more energy | fat it is energy dense more energy and requires more o2 to use it up |
| a rat will use a __ amount of o2 than a tiger in terms of (ml o2) / (gram hr) | greater than since it has gram hr but it would be the tiger use more o2 per hr if gram was not in there |
| the surfae area to volume ratio of a shape produces a line with a slope of 2/3 on a log scale plot the slope of the surface are to length ratio will be | 2 since intially it is 2/3 the 2 is the surface area and the volume was the 3 now the volume is being replaced with the length which is just 1 therefore its 2/1 = 2 |
| a migrating canda goose that flies 10 miles powered by metabolizing fat will use about ____ of fuel as a goose flying the same distance but powered by metabolizing protein. asumme the goose weighs the same | half as many g fat has 2x as much energy per gram as carbs and protein |
| based on your knowledge of scaling cost of movement in animals you expect a laboratory rat to require __- o2 (ml o2 / m) to move 100 meters than a large dog | less because cost is total cost is higher in total for bigger animals |
| for flying birds the minimum cost of flight per unit time is ___ the minum cost per unit distance | slower than look at the curve |
| based on your knowledge of scaling cost of movement in animals you expect a laboratory rat to require __- o2 (ml o2 / g) to move 100 meters than a large dog | more becasue smaller animals require more o2 per g |
| large sea turtles that maintain a wamr body core and cool peripheral tissues when swimming through the north atlantic ocean are best describes as | heterotherms body has strong regional temp |
| if the Q10 for a lizard is 2.5 and you measure the metabolis rate as 50 ml o2 / g h at 5 degrees what do you expect its metabolic rate to be at 12 degrees use Rb = R a Q10 ^ tb-ta /10 | 95 ml o2 g h Q10 = 2.5 rb = 50 ml ta = 12 tb =12 |
| for a cold climate mammal the slope of line 1 will probably be __ the slopr for a tropical mammal less negative the same as more negative | less negative (not as steep) |
| a tropical bird will probably have __ lower critcal temp compared toa bird from a temperate climate with the same body temp higher same lower | higher tlc since the slope of one is steeper therefore tlc closer to bigger number for tropical hot animal |
| a freshwater invertebrate is likely to be __ with respect to its enviroemnt mostly hyperionic mostly hypoionic completelt isonic | hyperionic freshwater is fresh not much things ionic so the animal has higher conentration of ions in it comapred to the enviroment making it hyperionic to the enviroment |
| when transition from sea water to brackish water the concentration of serine in the body fluids of a perfectly omsmoreulating invertebrate will probably decrease increase stay the same | stays the same because the osmoregulator does not change its msom no matter the enviroment |
