"Use your understanding of the factors influencing dragonfly size to predict how the size of
terrestrial invertebrates has changed over deep time." - Answer✔apply
What part of Bloom's Taxonomy does this statement reflect?
"How strong is the evidence supporting the conclusion that predation limited the size of
dragonflies following the evolution of birds? Do you agree with this conclusion?" -
Answer✔evaluate
What part of Bloom's Taxonomy does this statement reflect?
"design an experiment to test the hypothesis that higher levels of O2 in the atmosphere allow
insects to grow to a large size." - Answer✔create
What part of Bloom's Taxonomy does this statement reflect?
"Examine the role of natural selection in the observed changes in dragonfly size over time.
What traits were under selection pressure in dragonflies and aerial predators?" -
Answer✔analyze
What experimental design could help determine if higher O2 levels select for larger bodies? -
Answer✔ex: 2 groups of flies, one in low/normal O2 environment and other in high O2
environment for several generations and observe growth. At the end, put the flies that were in
the high O2 environment in a low O2 environment to test if the difference in their size became
genetic as a result of selection
How can natural selection cause changes in phenotype? - Answer✔Selection favors organisms
that are more fit for their environment, so organisms that have alleles that make them more
apt to survive and reproduce will be selected. The selection of different alleles may favor
mutations in genes which cause the organism to present a different phenotype.
what are the four classes of organic molecules? - Answer✔- carbohydrates
- proteins
- lipids
- nucleic acids
properties of carbohydrates - Answer✔- a group of macromolecules that are a vital source of
energy for the cell and provide structural support to plant cells and fungi
- monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides
properties of lipids - Answer✔- nonpolar and hydrophobic in nature.
- fatty acids may be saturated (solid at room temp) or unsaturated (liquid at room temp)
depending on the presence or absence of double bonds in the molecule
building blocks of proteins - Answer✔amino acids
