On the bahamian island of andros, mosquitofish populations live in isolated freshwater ponds that were once united. currently, some predator-rich ponds have mosquitofish that can swim in short, fast bursts; predator-poor ponds have mosquitofish that can swim continuously for a long time. when placed together in the same body of water, the two kinds of female mosquitofish exhibit exclusive breeding preferences. if one builds a canal linking a predator-rich pond to a predator-poor pond, then what type(s) of selection should subsequently be most expected among the mosquitofish in the original predator-rich pond, and what type(s) should be most expected among the mosquitofish in the original predator-poor pond?

The diagram illustrates the activity of vesicles during a cellular process.

With the description of the different cell walls, membranes, and associated proteins set in the students' minds, you now need to introduce them to the idea that the cell wall can also act as a foundation to build things upon. bacterial appendages require a strong foundation that will offer the support needed to move and function in a dynamic world. for example, flagella are long, whiplike protein structures that are used by many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria for locomotion. in order to function effectively, a flagellum must be firmly anchored to the cell wall. how will you be able to get across the idea that the peptidoglycan cell wall is strong enough to support such a mechanism? with a protein rod that passes through the cell wall and protein rings used to anchor it in the membranes, these basal bodies are the rudimentary biological motors that use atp power to spin the hook and the flagella attached to it. bacterial flagella have a biological motor that spins within the cell wall and is powered by atp. this allows the flagella to spin in a whiplike motion to propel the bacterium.

Consider the model of the oxygen cycle on earth. the majority of earth's oxygen reservoirs are found in the a) atmosphere. b) biosphere. c) hydrosphere. d) lithosphere.
