Please respond to the following questions throughout the week.

Provide an example of a food chain in the area where you live.

Humans are parts of food chains and food webs, too. Where on a food web would you typically find humans (near the bottom with the producers, at the top with carnivores, or somewhere in between)? Explain.

What are some advantages of being part of a food web rather than a food chain?

For Questions 4–6, use the following food web for Lake Michigan:

Lake Michigan Food Web. (2016). Retrieved fromhttps://www.glerl.noaa.gov//pubs/brochures/foodweb/LMfoodweb.pdf

In the Lake Michigan food web, is it possible to identify the most important producer? Why or why not?

Provide at least two types of impacts that humans could have on this food web.

Read the description of the sea lamprey on page 2 of the food web. This species is described as non-native. They reached the lake through canals and locks built in the 1800s.

What challenges could occur within a food web when a new predator like this is introduced into an ecosystem?

Do you think steps should be taken to eradicate this species from the food web? Explain why or why not? If so, what steps can be implemented?

NOTE: This lab assignment has questions related to binomial nomenclature. Please note that the assessment system does not accept formatted text, so you will need to indicate any italicized words by adding “IT” in parentheses after each word that is to be written in italics, (IT). For example, the common fruit fly is genus Drosphila and species melanogaster. When written, it is Drosophila melanogaster. From this example, the correct way to represent the italicized words is by typing, Drosphila (IT) melanogaster (IT).

Record the classes for each of the following arthropods, as determined from the dichotomous key (16 points): Organism 1 (Spider) Organism 2 (Bee) Organism 3 (Beetle) Organism 4 (Blue crab) Organism 5 (Crayfish) Organism 6 (Tick) Organism 7 (Fiddler crab) Organism 8 (Centipede) Organism 9 (Shrimp) Organism 10 (Millipede) Organism 11 (Wasp) Organism 12 (Grasshopper) Organism 13 (Horseshoe Crab) Organism 14 (Mole Crab) Organism 15 (Scorpion) Organism 16 (Squilla) Provide the family name for each shark based on the use of the dichotomous key provided (14 points): Shark 1 Shark 2 Shark 3 Shark 4 Shark 5 Shark 6 Shark 7 Shark 8 Shark 9 Shark 10 Shark 11 Shark 12 Shark 13 Shark 14 Submit the dichotomous key for the "imaginary" animals. (10 points) When might a prepared key be used to identify biological organisms? (5 points) Why are there only two choices for each step in the dichotomous key? (3 points) Why are observation skills important when working with dichotomous keys? (5 points) List the domain, kingdom, phylum, subphylum, class, order, family, genus, and species of humans. (9 points) domain kingdom phylum subphylum class order family genus species What is the scientific name for humans? (4 points) It is estimated that there are more than 1 million species of insects on this planet. Based on this and information gained from this laboratory, what phylum most likely comprises over 90% of the Earth's species? Briefly justify your answer. (4 points) Scorpions and spiders both belong to the same class called Arachnida. Birds and fish both belong to the phylum Chordata. Which two organisms are more closely related? Explain why. (5 points) Using the evolutionary distances from the protein sequences activity (Step 4 of the procedures), fill in the diagram below. The letters should correspond with the sequence numbers (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5). (5 points) A B C D E

Q5. Kangaroo rats are endemic to the deserts of theAmerican southwest. In one region, two kangaroo rat species eatonly seeds and are biologically extremely similar. The two speciesare found in adjacent habitats. Seeds are abundant in bothhabitats, but less nutritious than insects. If you were to doublethe amount of seeds across both habitats and add insects aspotential food, which of the following outcomes would most likelyresult?

Q7. If, over evolutionary time, one of the two kangaroo ratspecies from Question 5 (without a third species present) were toevolve a change in food habits such that it eats only insects.Which of the following would most likely happen

A. It would outcompete the other species because insects aremore nutritious than seeds.

B. The other species would outcompete it because seeds are moreabundant than insects

C.Both species would share both habitats because their nicheswould be different and competition would thus be eliminated.

D. One species would outcompete the other, but which speciesdoes so will be determined by random chance
