ENT exam 6
How do honey bees communicate?
By doing a round dance and a waggle dance. They face angle in which the food is located. While doing the waggle dance the straight line they walk is in correlation to the distance of the food source.
Give characteristics of bird BAT and different insect-pollinated flowers.
flowers often white - many with a furity or musky odor nextar flows at night morning glory and some cacti
What do pollinators get from the flower and how is it useful to them?
food and it usueful because it has alot of protien and fat
What is the advantage of sexual reproduction?
genetic diversity feritiliztion produces a unique individual increases genetic variablity
Which is the most common situation among flowering plants?

malaria
in africa caused by protozoa grows in liver cells and moves into blood causes fever chilld and vomiting kidney failure and anemia can be stopped by prevenative drugs from plants -artemisin from ancient china has anit-fever properties -quinine is basically gin and tonic to treat fevers mosqutio net treated with insecticide DDT was eradicated in US in 1951 working on vaccine for 40 years and it will sstart in 2018 hard to kill protozoa because of multiple species
What 4 characteristics do all eusocial insects have in common?
individuals cooperate in caring for brood overalapping generations of parents and offspring live together division of labor occurs within the colony reproduction is not carried out by all indivudals
Name 2 groups of insects in which all species are eusocial
isoptera (termites) -- ants ( all true ants )
Black Death/Plague
killed about 40% of europes population in the 1300s spread from rodent by fleas and then to humans can be spread by flea bite after dead animal contact or pets

what anthropod transmits malaria ?
mosqutios
zika virus
most people have no symptoms but it usually is given to pregnenant women and causes serious problems to newborns causing birth deffects and gullain-barre syndome where your own immune system attacks your nerve cells
Be able to label flower diagram.
ok
Define dioecious, monoecious, and hermaphroditic

Define nectar guides, flower constancy
ok
If I give flower characteristics, be able to say what is the likely pollinator.
ok
Name examples of social wasps.
paper wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets
ant colonies are
pereniall survive winter and persist for many years
Name some characteristics and examples of wind-pollinated plants
pollen is small and dry flowers not colorful often without petals lack odor and nectar and frequenet are swinging in the breeze or prenulous
Give characteristics of bird bat, and different INSECT pollinated flowers.
pollen usualy sticky often with rough texture flowers usually colorful and well developed petls distictly odorous pleasant odors attract bees butterflies and moth unpleasent odors attraction dung beeatles flies and beetles
What types of individuals are in those castes? Males? Females? Adults? Immatures? wasps
queen workers-- sterlie females no soldier caste so workers feed and protect the nest
What types of individuals are in those castes? Males? Females? Adults? Immatures? ants
queen - F worker - sterile females soldier - sterile females
What types of individuals are in those castes? Males? Females? Adults? Immatures? bees
queens - F drones - M -mating bees workers -- sterile F -also defend colony no soldier caste
kissing bug and chagas disease
small chance of getting it in US common in rural areas of south/central america transfer through blood, orang transplant, or mother to baby - -uncooked food the big bites then poops on wound putting feces into the bloodsteam where the protozoa enter and cause disease can cause swolen face there is two phases 1 : acute where its not strong and only is small in symtptoms 2: chronic phase -- may be silent for decades of life and then cause serious complications such as heart and digestive problems treatment is antiparastic medicine
West Nile Virus
spread to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito no symtoms- 80% mild symptoms - 20% -rash, fever, headache, vomiting serious symtoms - 1-150 people -high fever, coma, paralysis, convuslions may have peremanant neurological effects
mosquito mate started what
sterile release of mosquitos with a bacteria that can dwindle the wild populaiton and limit the spread of disease spread by mosquitios
tree lobster
stick insect from australian island is back from a thought to be extncition from rats on a ship wreck
pistil
stigma style and ovary
Why do honey bees make so much honey?
store honey to feed the colony during the winter
nectar guides
striking patterns on the flowers visible only in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum
corolla
sum of petals
cuckoo bumble bees
take over a hive of bumble bees and the workers work for them because they do not know these cuckoo bumble bees are not one of them, their young larave even get the other bees to feed them thinking they are one of them. this is called social parastism.
termites and ants can be told apart by what
termite- straight antannae ant - elbowed antannea termites wings all the same size and ants have small hindwings
How is honey made?
the nectar in their "honey stomachs" is regurgitated into a cell in the honeycomb—> the excess water evaporates—>honey is made
flower constancy
the tendecny for a pollinator to visit flowers of the same species on a fraging trip plants have an increased chance of reciving pollen from a member of their own species
pollination
trasnfer of pollon from male flower structure (anther) to female flower structure (stigma)
dengue or breakbone fever
virus 1/3 of world population at risk only <1% mortality with good medical care no specific treamtnets from mosquito bite
Name 2 groups of insects we think of as commonly living in colonies, but actually very few species in these groups are eusocial.
wasps and bees
How do bee and wasp feeding habits differ?
wasps are canivores and bees make honey and eat it
What castes do termite colonies have?
workers king and queen soldier
River Blindness (Onchocerciasis)
Helminth - Infection by Onchocerca volvus, a nematode or roundworm, is transmitted to humans by the bite of black flies - These worms spread through the body and do not directly cause blindness - However, when they die, Wolbachia symbionts are released which triggers a strong immune response and this can destroy optical tissue in the eye (who would have thought that the worms' death would trigger such a response) antiparasitic medications kill worms and will stop this disease
west nile virus and birds
It is now found in over 200 bird species, being especially lethal to crows and bluejays; Mosquitoes become infected with West Nile virus when they bite infected birds 1999 epidemic with american crows
would you rather have a virus or bacteria disease?
bacteria because you can take care of it with antibactirial medicine while virus's are much more dangerous and unsolved then bacterial diseases are.
What is considered the most important pollinator
bees
What are some characteristics of bees that make them good pollinators?
branched hairs that pollen sticks to polleb baskets on legs long tongoues to reach nectar will range far and wide for pollen high flower constancy
3 forms of plague
bubonic - swollen, painful lypmh nodes septicemic-bleeding into skin and organs pneumonic- respirtory problems
Name 2 types of social bees.
bumble bees and honey bees
How do honey bees and bumble bees differ?
bumble bees- barbed stinger can sting more than once -annual colonies -build nest in cavaties and only make small amount of honey honey bees- perennial colonies honey bees take over other bee colinies hives and fight to the death to take over the hive every spring
Hermaphroditic flowers
each flower contains both male and female reproductive organs

Yellow Fever
a disease transmitted by mosquitoes: its symptoms inclued high fever and vomiting, jaundice big time in the panama canal -- tried to kill it with draning ditches and oiling the water which worked along with screening in windows
what does annual and perennial mean?
annual - come around once a year perennial- around all year
wasp colonies are
annual not pernnial only mated queens survive winter ad rest of colony dies out so a new colony is started in the spring by each surving queen
