Campbell Biology 12th edition chapter 40 ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




testbank exam with correct answers ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Which of the following statements best explains the||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




similarity in the body form of penguins, seals, and ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




tuna?
All of the organisms needed to develop similar body
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




shapes so they could swim. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




All of their bodies have been compressed since birth
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




by intensive underwater pressures.
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Their shapes are the result of convergent evolution,
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




which reduces drag while swimming. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




This is the only shape that will allow them to
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




maintain a constant body temperature in water. - ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




correct answers ✔✔Their shapes are the result of ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




convergent evolution, which reduces drag while ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




swimming.

||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Which body system assists with coordination of ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




vertebrate body functions via chemical signals? ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




respiratory system ||\\||\\




endocrine system ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




integumentary system ||\\||\\

,excretory system - correct answers ✔✔endocrine ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




system

||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Compared with a smaller cell, a larger cell of the ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




same shape has ________. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




less surface area ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




less surface area per unit of volume
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




a smaller average distance between its mitochondria
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




and the external source of oxygen
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




a smaller cytoplasm-to-nucleus ratio - correct
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




answers ✔✔less surface area per unit of volume ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




5 pts
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Which of the following is a characteristic of nervous ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




system signals? ||\\||\\




They allow gradual changes to take place in the body.
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




They travel quickly throughout the body. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\

, They usually impact the entire body. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




They require a voltage change to be transmitted. - ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




correct answers ✔✔They travel quickly throughout ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\

6 pts
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Some animals have no gills when young, but then ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




develop gills that grow larger as the animal grows ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




larger. Which of the following statements provides ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




the best explanation for this increase in gill size?
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




The young of these animals are much more active
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




than the adult, which leads to a higher BMR (basal ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




metabolic rate) and, therefore, a higher need for ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




oxygen.
Relative to their volume, the young have more ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




surface area across which they can transport all the ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




oxygen they need. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\
