A scientist is studying metabolic rate in a Giant Hummingbird in Peru. The scientist assumes a captured individual has been feed

ing on nectar (glucose) recently, but in fact the individual has not fed in the last hour and is currently metabolizing fat (palmitic acid). 3. Calculate the measurement error the scientist would introduce based on their faulty assumption if the scientist were measuring CO2 production. Will the scientist over- or underestimate metabolic rate

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, the scientist underestimate the metabolic rate of Giant Hummingbird. The scientist experience the measurement error due to non-feeding of Giant Hummingbird that leads to faulty assumption when the scientist were measuring CO2 production because the Giant Hummingbird breakdown the fats of the body for the release of energy instead of glucose. There is difference in the production of carbondioxide rate due to difference in the composition of fats and glucose.

zimovet [89]
The ability to analyze DNA via DNA sequencing and other molecular analysis techniques has made it easier to group molecules into categories that represent lines of phylogeny.
Phylogeny is based on similar physical and genetic characteristics between organisms. Before such techniques, scientists were able to discern and group organisms only on the basis of their morphology, or their physical shape or appearance.

Why do scientists take lots of measurements and calculate averages?
Dima020 [189]
 Scientists take more than one measurements because they want to make sure that their results are fairly accurate answer, result, or/ and explanation on a subject.

Reason: If a scientist just used one measurement or used even one testing group then in the near future, people might use that ONE measurement or testing group to prove questions. .
   In actuality, using more than one measurements can help you go for a more precise answer. It is better to use more than one measurement or testing group that way you may have a more wide explanation of why something is that way.
   For example, if a person wants to know why a softer ball(like a tennis ball) bounces higher than something like a box then the person will use more than one measurement. This will include the height of the bounce, the volume of the items used, the force of gravity on the object, and some other things.

(Hope this helps you better understand :) )
