The brown marmorated stink bug has evolved the ability to defend itself from aggressors by releasing a foul-smelling mix of trans-2-decenal and trans-2-octenal from glands underneath its thorax. ------- even handling the bug may cause it to perceive an attack and emit this unpleasant odor. Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?For example,eliminateSpecifically,eliminateAccordingly,eliminateHowever,

Cockroaches are communal creatures that have strong communication skills, using chemicals to inform other members of their group about where food and water sources are most abundant. ------- when there are not enough resources in one location, the group strategically divides itself up into smaller groups.Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?For instance,eliminateBy contrast,eliminateSpecifically,eliminateIn conclusion,

Insects are not the most notable creatures in our ecosystem—they are tiny, seemingly innumerable, and quite difficult to track. ------- because of climate change, people have started noticing that common sites for insects (on a windshield, in a backyard, or hovering around a light source at night) have been strangely empty, a trend entomologists have termed the "windshield phenomenon."Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?Indeed,eliminateHowever, eliminateMoreover,eliminateMeanwhile,

White-nose disease is a fungal illness that has killed over six million bats in North America by causing wing tissue to tear and decay. ------- the discomfort of the fungus prompts the bats to be unusually active during their winter hibernation period, thus reducing their body fat percentage and increasing the likelihood they will not survive until spring. Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?Therefore,eliminateFurthermore,eliminateHowever,eliminateInstead,

One common form of evolutionary adaptation is Batesian mimicry: species that are harmless imitate the physical traits of species that are harmful. In some cases, this mimicry is near-identical, but in others it is imperfect. For example, the ------- hoverfly species Spilomyia longicornis displays highly contrasting yellow and black bands akin to the dangerous vespid wasp, but lacks the wasps’s long antennae. Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase? innocuous eliminatenoxious eliminateminisculeeliminatenegligible

Which word list best fill the gaps in the following paragraph? (note we didn’t cover the exact details in lectures, but you can work this out). The common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula), is a noxious pest in Aotearoa/New Zealand and is poisoned with sodium fluoroacetate (1080). This poison inhibits the citric acid cycle (CAC). Poisoned animals accumulate large amounts of citrate and oxaloacetate. The mode of action of this poison is that sodium fluoroacetate mimics (a) _______­­­___ and instead of forming acetyl-CoA it forms fluoroacetyl-CoA. The enzyme (b)__________ __________ then binds (c) ­­­­__________­, which then forms fluorocitrate. This then binds to and inhibits the enzyme (d) _________.Select one alternative:(a) lactate, (b) aconitase, (c) malate, (d) citrate synthase(a) glucose, (b) wishIknewthisase, (c) ATP, (d) PFK(a) acetate, (b) citrate synthase, (c) oxaloacetate, (d) aconitase(a) acetate, (b) succinate dehydrogenase, (c) fumarate, (d) aconitase
