Design experiments to test the hypothesis that electric eels are both electrogenic and electroreceptive.

Scientists generally think that a 'good hypothesis' is one that is reasonable and testable and inspires further research into a phenomenon. Using these criteria, explain whether Dalton's hypothesis about color vision was a good hypothesis. Was it correct?

Hold your right eye closed. With your left eye, look at the + in the image below. Starting from about two feet away, slowly bring your head closer while looking at the +. What happens to the dot when you get close to the image? What property of the eye's structure does this exercise demonstrate?

Scientists collected data on the date of onset of the menstrual cycles in a group of women who moved into a college dormitory together in the fall. The y-axis of the graph shows the mean difference (in days) between the onset of a woman's cycle and the average onset date of the rest of the women. Evaluate whether these data provide evidence for the existence of a human pheromone.

Construct a graph in which membrane potential is on the y axis and time is on the x axis. Then draw the action potentials that occur when a bitter flavor is absent, followed by the action potentials that result when a person tastes a bitter flavor.

SCIENTIFIC THINKING We know that sea turtle hatchlings use Earth's magnetic field to navigate. Do they also use light cues from the moon to get from the sand to the ocean waves? Outline an experiment to answer this question.

Honeybees live in social groups consisting of a queen, up to several hundred male drones, and thousands of infertile female workers. The drones mate with the queen only, and the workers protect the hive, forage, and feed and groom the queen. The health of the hive depends on the female workers performing these duties instead of reproducing. What roles do pheromones play in maintaining a functional beehive?Scientists have identified dozens of pheromones used by honeybees for communication. Which type of sensory system uses pheromones?a. mechanoreceptionb. photoreceptionc. chemoreceptiond. thermoreceptione. electroreception

Have you ever felt your ears ringing after listening to loud music? Can this permanently impair your hearing? Should manufacturers of music devices and producers of concerts be required to warn consumers? What effect might warnings have?

Honeybees live in social groups consisting of a queen, up to several hundred male drones, and thousands of infertile female workers. The drones mate with the queen only, and the workers protect the hive, forage, and feed and groom the queen. The health of the hive depends on the female workers performing these duties instead of reproducing. What roles do pheromones play in maintaining a functional beehive?Honeybees produce an alarm pheromone when their hive is molested. This pheromone stimulates the bees to protect the hive. If you were to count the number of alarm pheromone receptors in honeybee tissues, which type of bee would likely have the most—a queen, a drone, or a worker? Why?
