Q

comparing life in air vs life in water

A

AIR:
- low heat capacity = temp extremes
- low viscosity = air flows easily
- O2 diffuses faster in air
- less dense due to gravity

WATER:
- high heat capacity = stable temps
- universal solvent (H2O dissolves/transports molecules)
- high viscosity due to strong intermolecular bonds
- O2 needs to be dissolved (less O2)
- high density (pressure changes with depth)

25
in allometric scaling, what does it mean when slope is greater than 1
- gets bigger - example: skeleton has a slope higher than 1 so that means the skeleton got bigger as body size got bigger
26
in allometric scaling what does it mean when slope is less than 1
- gets smaller - example: metabolic rate has a slope smaller than 1 so that means MR gets slower as body gets bigger
27

144
cohesion-tension: root pressure
- (+) pressure in roots that forces xylem sap upwards - occurs in high humidity or low light - moves water short distance - contributes to guttation
145
cohesion-tension: guttation
- when root pressure is strong enough to force water out of leaf openings - water pushed up and out of veins - only good in small plants - in hot days, guard cells closed to prevent water loss
146
describe the pressure flow mechanism
- moving substances by bulk flow under pressure from source to sink - based on water potential gradients - load from source -> transport in sieve tube -> unload in sink
147
pressure flow mechanism steps
1. more [surose] in sieve tube brings water potential down 2. water from xylem enters sieve tube causing pressure to go up 3. sap flows in bulk to sink (lower pressure) 4. sucrose is unloaded into sink 5. water goes back to xylem via osmosis
148
what's transpiration
- evaporation of water through stomata pores - cohesion-tension driven by transpiration
149
what is cohesion-tension
- h bonds of water help each other go up (cohesion) - h bonds weakly attaches themselves to cell walls (adhesion) -evaporation of one water molecule brings negative tension which creates negative pressure forcing another water molecule to go up
150

159
How is transpiration regulated to prevent desiccation?
- cuticles limit water loss but prevents CO2 uptake - Water always lost
160

- 2 houses (individuals produce one type of gamete) - dad houses sperm; mom houses egg
183
what is monoecious
both egg and sperm in same body eg clownfish
184
pros of sexual repro
- genetic variability - more complex
185
cons of sexual repro
- slow ( courtship) - energetically costly (to produce gametes, find mates, parental care, vulnerability to predation)
186
what is direct development
baby looks like tiny version of parent
187
what is indirect development
baby does not look like parent eg tadpoles
188
what happens during fertilization
sperm and egg fuse to form zygote
189
what happens during cleavage
- zygote divides to morula then blastula
190
what is the morula
beginnings of body plan (symmetry)
191
what is the animal pole
cell divides to become animal
192
what is vegetal pole
becomes nutrients (yolk)
193
what happens during gastrulation
formation of echo/meso/endoderm, gut, mouth/anus
194
what are the 6 mechanism of gastrulation
1. mitosis 2. cell movement (cell moves to new position) 3. selective cell adhesion 4. induction (one group not cells influences other cells 5. determination (fate of tissues determinbed) 6. differentiation
195
what is spermatogenesis
- production of sperm - specialized to move and penetrate egg
196
what is oogenesis
- production of ovum - stores nutrients for early stages of development - has protective coating
197
what happens during early stage of development
- produce zygote - cleavage, blastula, gastrula (formation of tissue layers) - chordate neurulation
198
what happens during external fertilization
- broadcast spawning - many small gametes (low parental care) -usually in sessile or marine animals
199
what happens during internal fertilization
- male deposits sperm into female
200
what is the acrosomal reaction
- fast reaction - once sperm gets through egg, releases this response to prevent other sperm form entering
201
what is the cortical reaction
- slow - egg creates thick layer around itself completely blocking other sperm
202
endoderm turns into what
digestive system
203
mesoderm turns into what
muslcles nd blood
204
ectoderm turns into what
skin, nervous system
205
what are the steps of chordate neurulation
1. notochord causes cells to thicken 2. cells sink and forms closed tube 3. edges fuse together closing the tube (spine) 4. migrating beiral cress cells becomes face
