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

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

ok

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

Give characteristics of BIRD bat, and different insect-pollinated flowers.

70% OF FLOWERING PLANTS often brightly colored with no odor and deep corollar (whorl of petals) pollinate ornamental plants

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
