If a mouse and a small lizard of the same mass (both at rest) were placed in experimental chambers under identical environmental

conditions, which animal would consume oxygen at a higher rate
Biology

Harman [31]1 year ago
4 0

The mouse, because it is an endotherm and therefore its basal metabolic rate is higher than the ectotherm lizard's standard metabolic rate.

<h3>What are endotherms and ectotherms?</h3>

Animals classified as ectotherms and endotherms employ several techniques to control body temperature.

Endotherms are recognized as warm-blooded creatures, whereas ectotherms are also referred to as cold-blooded creatures. Ectotherms and endotherms vary primarily in that endotherms control their body temperatures by sustaining bodily functions, but ectotherms depend on external sources like sunlight to do so. Ectotherms include invertebrates, fish, amphibians, and reptiles while endotherms include mammals and birds.

Incomplete question. The remaining part of the question read;

Words in the left column:

  • Yes
  • No
  • Observational
  • Manipulative

1. A physiologist incubates eggs in the lab at a range of temperatures to see what temperatures produce males and what temperatures produce females.

2. A biologist predicts that shade might influence ground temperature, and therefore turtle sex ratios. He records the sex ratio of turtle hatchlings in shaded and unshaded regions

3. An ecologist predicts turtles grow larger when no predators are around. She places turtles in an experimental pond system where half the ponds have predators and half the ponds have had the predators removed.

4. A climatologist predicts that concentration of CO2 in a city will be negatively correlated with the amount of wind in that city. He collects data and looks at the amount of CO2 in a city as a function of the wind speed in the city.

5. A sociologist conducts a survey in Hawaii to describe people's attitudes about global climate change.

6. A scientist determines the average wind speed, and variation in the amount of wind, in a number of locations to see which locations would be most suitable for wind turbines

<u>Answer/Explanation:</u>

1. <u>Hypothesis-driven?</u> Yes!

<u>Observational or Manipulative?</u> Observational.

We can make this conclusion here that the physiologists' research is hypothesis-driven since we are told he wanted to <em>"see what temperatures produce males and what temperatures produce females." </em>In other words, he wanted to know whether the temperature used in incubators can influence the sex of an egg by means of observation.

2. <u>Hypothesis-driven?</u> Yes!

<u>Observational or Manipulative?</u> Observation.

3.  <u>Hypothesis-driven?</u> Yes!

<u>Observational or Manipulative?</u> Manipulative.

We can make the conclusion that is the ecologist used the manipulative method in her research since she decided to place the turtles in two different types of ponds; one where half the ponds have predators while in the other the pond the predators have been removed. In other words, she manipulated the independent variables.

4. <u>Hypothesis-driven?</u> Yes!

<u>Observational or Manipulative?</u> Observational.

Note, the use of the word, "predicts" in most instances underscores the tone of hypothesis-driven research, hence we can say Yes! And remember, we are told the researcher "collects data", meaning he is merely observing differences that occur naturally.

5. <u>Hypothesis-driven?</u> No!

<u>Observational or Manipulative?</u> Observational.

<u>6. Hypothesis-driven?</u> No!

<u>Observational or Manipulative?</u> Observational.

I) predict which of the liquids would cause the largest decrease in mass of potato stick
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

1 mol per dm3 sodium chloride solution

Explanation:

The liquid that would cause the largest decrease in the mass of the potato stick would be the one with  <u>1 mole per dm3 sodium chloride solution.</u>

<em>The water potential of a solution depends on the molarity of the solution, the higher the molarity, the lower the water potential and vice versa. Hence, a solution with higher molarity has the tendency to osmotically draw more water from the potato stick than a solution with lower molarity.</em>

Therefore, the potato stick will have the largest decrease in mass in 1 mol per dm3 sodium chloride when compared to the 0.5 and 0.1 mole per dm3 solutions.

5. In four o'clock, red color exhibits incomplete dominance over white; when both exist together, the flowers are pink. i. In a
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The genotype of the offspring would be heterogeneous.

Explanation:

In four O'clock plants in case of incomplete dominance,  no colour is dominant. They are existing in an intermediate character / a new character. This new colour is pink, not white or red.

The white and red colour flowers are wild type and homogenous type. When the cross occurs and incomplete dominance happen, the F1 flower would be pink one but heterogeneous.

Because according to Mendel's deviation, there are such character appears where neither dominant nor the recessive are the only expressive traits. This has seen in incomplete dominance.

In codominance, which is the another Mendelian deviation, where both the characters has expressed. For example the rose flower having both red and white dots in it. The expression two colours / dominant and recessive characters in the flower is called codominance. Because both expresses at the same time. This codominance genotype is also heterogeneous.
