– A new soap opera called Days of Our Life Science is soon to be released
worldwide. In this program, the
relationships between the characters mirror the interactions of organisms in nature. Close examination of these clips from
the first episode will reveal the type of symbiosis each relationship
displays. Classify each
relationship as mutualism, commensalisms, or parasitism. Then give one example of each from the
pond.
A.

– Pick a population that you know well. Identify 2 living and 2 nonliving factors that limit their
size and affect their health.
Osprey
are large fish-eating hawks. In a
particular lake, osprey feed on a type of fish called smallmouth bass. This particular lake has been polluted
with toxins called PCBs. Osprey
have the highest concentration of PCBs in this lakeÕs ecosystem.
Explain why osprey have the highest concentration
of PCBs in the lakes ecosystem.
In
your explanation, be sure to:
Use words, labeled pictures, and/or labeled diagrams
in your response.

Courtney Lynn knew that fish were adversely affected
by thermal (heat), phosphate, and acidic pollution. In general, each of these factors negatively influenced
respiration, as indicated by a heightened respiratory rate (gill beats/minute). In the experiment, Courtney measure the
change in gill beats/minute after 12 hours of exposure to various
conditions. She used three
different manipulated variables.
For the first pH, she used three levels (6.5, 5.5, 4.5). For temperature, she used 10 oC,
20 oC, 30 oC, and 40 oC. Phosphate concentrations were 0 and 3
ppm. Write three hypotheses for
her experiment (one for each manipulated variable).

11/24
– Leghorn chickens are noted for their ability to lay a large number of
eggs. In order to be able to lay a
large number of eggs, a hen must have the dominant gene. A rooster has one dominant and one
recessive egg-laying gene (Obviously, a rooster canÕt lay an egg. However, the rooster can still carry
the egg-laying genes. This is
called a sex-limited trait). This
rooster mates with a hen that is a homozygous recessive normal egg-layer. If all the chicks in the brood are
females, what percentage of them will be able to lay a large number of eggs,
and what percentage of them will be able to lay just a normal number of eggs?
11/25
– Certain mice execute bizarre steps – in contrast to the normal
gait (type of walk) for mice – and are called Òwaltzers.Ó Waltzing is a recessive
characteristic. Also in mice, a
smooth coat is dominant over a cowlick coat. A male, heterozygous dominant for both traits mates with a
female, homozygous recessive for both traits. What will the litter of the first filial generation look
like?

How do you know this?
12/18
– All of us have heard of time zones: Eastern, Central, Rocky Mountain
and Pacific. Somehow these time
zones relate to the appearance and disappearance of the sun. If you are located in the Central Time
Zone, and it is 8:00 am, it would be 9:00 am in the Eastern Time Zone and 6 AM
in the Pacific Time Zone. Knowing
what you know about the movement of the sun during the day, describe the
movement of the sun in each time zone.
12/19
á Earth moves around the
sun, and the moon moves around Earth.
What forces keep these bodies in their paths?
á Using your experiences,
list any two events that involve interactions between the moon, sun, and Earth.
á The moonÕs surface is
covered with craters, which were created by meteorites striking the moonÕs
surface. Similar meteorites landed
on EarthÕs surface at the same time, yet there are very few craters to be found
on Earth. Apply knowledge of the
moon and Earth to explain this difference.
á Ptolemy proposed a model
of our solar system as early as 140 CE.
PtolemyÕs model, which placed Earth at the center of the solar system,
was accepted as true until Copernicus proposed a new model in 1543. CopernicusÕs model had the sun as the
center and is similar to the model that we use today. Consider the reasons for this change in model, and then
write a short paragraph explaining why we study the various parts of our
universe.
1/5
á What types of objects
would you expect to find within a galaxy?
á Do you think that the same
force that keeps our solar system together keeps galaxies together?
á Do you think that the
components of galaxies move in a random and unpredictable motion, or do they
move in an ordered and predictable one?
á The word galaxy comes
from the Greek word for Òmilk,Ó and the star-rich region of our own galaxy has
long been called the Milky Way.
Other galaxies, before they were recognized as containing stars, were
called nebulas,
from the Latin for Òclouds.Ó What
do you think was the reason these starry regions were described in these terms?
