Provide an example of how one of the three types of regulations (Command and Control Regulations, Pigovian Taxes, and Ecological Economics) might be used in real life, and discuss how effective that strategy may or may not be at protecting the environment in the long term. Please use your own example, not one that was discussed already in Chapter 2.

3. Some Caminalcules went extinct without leaving descendents. In the real world, what intrinsic factors (i.e., related to an organism’s basic reproductive biology, population biology, ecological niche, etc.) or extrinsic factors (e.g., ecological/environmental factors) might increase or decrease the probability of a species going extinct? PLEASE DO NOT REFER TO HUMAN-CAUSED EXTINCTIONS IN YOUR ANSWER.

4. Find two additional examples of convergent evolution among the modern-day Caminalcules. This means finding cases where two or more species have a similar characteristic that evolved

independently in each lineage. The wing of bats, birds and bees is an example of

convergence since the three groups did not inherit the characteristic from their common

ancestor. Write your answers in complete sentences (e.g.,“Species x and y both have ____

but their most recent common ancestor, z, did not”). List two additional real-world examples

of convergent evolution (ones that we have not already talked about in class) and discuss

what might have caused the convergence.

5. a. Describe two examples of vestigial structures that you can find among the

Caminalcules. These are structures that have been reduced to the point that they are

virtually useless. Ear muscles and the tailbones are examples of vestigial structures in our

own species.

b. Explain how vestigial structures provide clues about a species’ evolutionary past.

Illustrate your argument with vestigial structures found in humans or other real species.

What are the "building blocks" or monomers (looking for a group or class name) of a carbohydrate polymer? Name the five (5) types of carbohydrate monomers.

When two of these carbohydrate monomers are bonded together what "class" of carbohydrate is formed? What are the types of this "class"? What is the source (food) for each of these?

When three or more of these monomers are bonded together they form which "class" of carbohydrate? Which one of these stores excess carbs in animals (mainly in the liver)? Which one stores excess carbs in plants? And which one is indigestible by the human gut, but is important because it provides "bulk" in the form of fiber and helps keep fecal matter moving in the intestines?

1. Discuss and decide upon characteristics that define each of the following broad groups

(domains, kingdoms) of organisms in order to attempt to define these major groups of life

on the planet. Although many characteristics may overlap from one group to the next,

attempt to define some traits that could be used to definitively (exclusively) place an

organism into a specific group. Finally, for each, what would the small subunit ribosomal

rRNA gene sequence tell us?

Viruses

Bacteria

Archaea

Protists (algae, protozoa)

Fungi

Animals

Plants

2. For the previous groups, which include representatives of ones that live as part of the

“human ecosystem”? Provide some examples of each and where they can be found,

including both those that are part of our normal microbiota (i.e., not pathogens) and some

that are.

3. Considering the above and what we’ve covered about these groups of organisms,

identify some structures/processes that hypothetically could be used to inhibit or kill

different types of pathogens without (hypothetically, at least) harming the human host.

4. Consider the microbial world. Which has a greater impact or importance – pathogens,

or benign microbes? Explain, giving examples.

5. A number of antibiotics target the bacterial 70S ribosome, exploiting structural

differences from the 80S ribosome found in humans and other eukaryotes. Although

effective at killing bacteria, these drugs can still have some toxicity to humans. In the

context of the endosymbiotic theory of evolution, provide a hypothesis as to why this

might be.
