Worksheet No. 4

Deer: Predation or Starvation

Introduction: In 1970 the deer population of an island forest reserve about 518 square kilometers in size was about 2000 animals. Although the island had excellent vegetation for feeding, the food supply

obviously had limits. Thus the forest management personnel feared that overgrazing might lead to mass starvation. Since the area was too remote for hunters, the wildlife service decided to bring in natural predators to control the deer population. It was hoped that natural predation would keep the deer population from becoming too large and also increase the deer quality (or health), as predators often eliminate the weaker members of the herd. In 1971, ten wolves were flown into the island.

The results of this program are shown in the following table. The Population Change is the number of deer born minus the number of deer that died during that year. Fill out the last column for each year (the first has been calculated for you).

1. Graph the deer and wolf populations on the graph below. Use one color to show deer populations and another color to show wolf populations.

Analysis

1. Describe what happened to the deer and wolf populations between 1971 and 1980.

 

 

2. What do you think would have happened to the deer on the island had wolves NOT been introduced?

 

 

3. Most biology textbooks describe that predators and prey exist in a balance. This "balance of nature" hypothesis has been criticized by some scientists because it suggests a relationship between predators and prey that is good and necessary. Opponents of this hypothesis propose the following questions:

Why is death by predators more natural or "right" then death by starvation? How does one determine when an ecosystem is in "balance"?Do predators really kill only the old and sick prey? What evidence is there for this statement?

What is your opinion of the “balance of nature” hypothesis? Would the deer on the island be better off, worse off, or about the same without the wolves? Defend your position. (EQ)

Article Analysis

CONSERVATION ACTION AND PROTECTED AREAS

Conservationists fear that, without immediate intervention, the Philippines hotspot is on the brink of an extinction crisis. Logging concessions have not been eliminated from lowland forests, which have already been reduced to a tiny fraction of their original cover, and illegal logging is widespread.

National parks and protected areas are crucial for the conservation of Philippine biodiversity. However, only 11 percent of the total land area of the Philippines (approximately 32,000 km²) is protected. This figure drops to only six percent of the hotspot (18,000 km²) when only protected areas in IUCN categories I to IV are included. National park boundaries have not been well demarcated, there is little enforcement, and there is even debate over how many parks exist in the country. Two-thirds of parks have human settlements, and one-quarter of their lands have already been disturbed or converted to agriculture. On a positive note, at least five new protected areas were proclaimed in 2002. In October 2003, the Peñablanca Protected Landscape and Seascape was greatly expanded, from 4,136 hectares to 118,108 hectares. More recently, the Quirino Protected Landscape, which covers 206,875 hectares in northeastern Luzon, was established through a presidential proclamation.

One way of ensuring that the network of protected areas adequately conserves biodiversity is through the conservation of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs), sites holding populations of globally threatened or geographically restricted species. KBAs are discrete biological units that contain species of global conservation concern and that can be potentially managed for conservation as a single unit. In the Philippines hotspot, Conservation International-Philippines in collaboration with the Field Museum in Chicago, Haribon Foundation and other local partners are in the process of identifying and delineating KBAs throughout the Philippines. This work, supported by CEPF, is a refinement of the broad-scale priorities identified during the 2000 Philippines Biodiversity Conservation Priority-Setting Process. It builds directly from the 117 Important Bird Areas defined by the Haribon Foundation, published in 2001. As IBAs are sites containing globally threatened, restricted-range, and congregators species, they provide the starting point for the incorporation of data on other taxonomic groups to identify KBAs.

In addition to creating effective protected areas, basic field research is desperately needed to support conservation activities. New endemic species are being discovered all of the time, and this information feeds directly into the refinement and prioritization of KBAs. A range of other conservation activities are underway throughout the islands. For example, the Philippine Cockatoo Conservation Program on Palawan has made great progress in reducing the theft of this species’ eggs. On Cebu, the recent rediscovery of several of the islands’ presumed-extinct species (most famously the Cebu flowerpecker), has focused community conservation activities by the Cebu Biodiversity Conservation Foundation on protecting the island’s last few hectares of forest. The Haribon Foundation and Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund have organized a Threatened Species Program to support such initiatives through the provision of small grants. In the long term, it is clear that landscape- and seascape-scale conservation will be necessary to allow the Philippines’ extraordinary biodiversity to persist. To this end, Conservation International and the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund have been supporting conservation in biodiversity conservation corridors in the Sierra Madre, Palawan, and Eastern Mindanao regions. This work has included the establishment of the Philippine Eagle Alliance, to coordinate the work of the various conservation groups working within the range of this magnificent but seriously threatened flagship species for Philippine conservation.

Cell Theory Rap

Listen close to the story I tell.It's the rapping story of the living cell.It's a happy tune that's sort of cheery.About a real tough topic called the cell theory.

All animals, plants, and protists too,Are made of cells with different jobs to do.They're the basic units of all organisms,And I hope by now you got the rhythm.

It all started with one dude named Hooke.Who at some cork cells took a look.

He used a scope and took his time.'Cause a cell is small and thinner than a dime.

Say 1, 2, 3, 4,Are you ready to learn some more?The animal cell has many parts,And you must know each one by heart.

Like the farmer man in the dell.The nucleus controls the cell.its gives the orders -- kind of like a brain.And it's protected by a nuclear membrane.

Around the cell, you'll find another "skin,"The cellular membrane holds the whole cell in

But its job isn't simple there's no doubt,It lets some particles go in and out.

Now please don't lose your science enthusiasm,Listen to the story of the cytoplsm.All around the cell this thick fluid does go,But in the nucleus it will not flow.

And don't forget those ribosomes -This is where proteins come from.These protein factories are so small, you'll agree,You need an electron microscope to see.

Just when you thought you weren't having any fun,Along comes the endoplasmic reticulum.

These tubelike structures serve as a track,To carry stuff to the membrane and back.

Now have you ever seen any doughnuts without holes?In a cell, they're called vacuoles.They're filled with stuff like H2OAnd they carry food so the cell can grow.

Las of all, but not the very least,Mitochondria - mighty cellular beasts,Since they turn sugars into energy so well,We call them the powerhouse of the cell.

Now my friend, you know it well,The unforgettable story of the living cell.

Lab Act. 3 (Transport of Materials)

Determining the Water Potential of Potato Cells

Background

In animal cells, the movement of water into and out of the cell is influenced by the relative concentration of solute on either side of the cell membrane. If water moves out of the cell, the cell will shrink. If water moves into the cell, the cell may swell or even burst. In plant cells, the presence of a cell wall prevents the cells from bursting, but pressure does eventually build up inside the cell and affects the process of osmosis. When the pressure inside the cell becomes large enough, no additional water will accumulate in the cell even the though cell still has a higher solute concentration than does pure water. So movement of water through the plant tissue cannot be predicted simply through knowing the relative solute concentrations on either side of the plant cell wall. Instead, the concept of water potential is used to predict the direction in which water will diffuse through living plant tissues.

In a general sense, the water potential is the tendency of water to diffuse from one are to another under a given set of perimeters. Water potential is expressing in bars, a metric unit of pressure equal to about 1

atmosphere and measured with a barometer. Water potential is abbreviated by the Greek letter psi

and has to major components: solute potential , which is dependent on solute concentration and

pressure potential , which results from the exertion of pressure - either positive or negative - on a solution. We express this as:

 

In Figure 1.1. A potato cell is placed in pure water. Initially the water potential outside the cell is 0 and is higher than the water potential inside the cell (-3). Under these conditions there will be a net movement of water into the cell. The pressure potential inside the cell will increase until the cell reaches a state of equilibrium.

Directions:

1. Pour 100 mL of your assigned solution (it will be one of the six solutions listed above in Exercise 2) into a beaker. Slice a potato into 4 equal cylinders. 2. Determine the mass of the 4 potato cylinders together and record. 3. Place the cylinders into the beaker with your assigned solution and cover with plastic wrap. Leave overnight 4. Remove the cylinders from the beakers and carefully blot of any excess solution. Record the room temperature in Celsius. 5. Determine the mass of the 4 potato cylinder together and record. 6. Calculate the % change.

7. Graph the results for both your individual data and class average on on graph. In order to do so, the 0 axis line should actually be in the middle of your graph. The y axis above this line should be labeled % increase in mass while the y axis below this line should be labeled % decrease. The x axis is the sucrose molarity within the beaker.

8. Determine the molar concentration of the potato cores. This would be the sucrose molarity in which the mass of the potato core does not change. To find this, draw the straight line on your graph that best fits your data. The point at which this line crosses the x axis represents the molar concentration of sucrose with a water potential that is equal to the potato tissue water potential. At this concentration, there is no net gain or loss of water from the tissue.

9. What is the Molar concentration of sucrose? ___________  

10. Calculate the solute potential for the sucrose solution:

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

1. If a potato core is allowed to dehydrate by sitting in the open air, would the water potential of the potato cells decrease or increase? Why?

2. If a plant cell has a lower water potential than its surrounding environment and if pressure is equal to zero, is the cell hypertonic (in terms of solute concentration) or hypotonic to its environment? Will the cell gain or lose water? Explain.

 3. Why is balance a need in the environment of plant cell?

4. How can your knowledge about the cell processes in plants help farmers and agriculturist? (EQ)

Cell City Analogy

In a far away city called Grant City, the main export and production product is the steel widget. Everyone in the town has something to do with steel widget making and the entire town is designed to build and export widgets. The town hall has the instructions for widget making, widgets come in all shapes and sizes and any citizen of Grant can get the instructions and begin making their own widgets. Widgets are generally produced in small shops around the city, these small shops can be built by the carpenter's union (whose headquarters are in town hall).

After the widget is constructed, they are placed on special carts which can deliver the widget anywhere in the city. In order for a widget to be exported, the carts take the widget to the postal office, where the widgets are packaged and labeled for export. Sometimes widgets don't turn out right, and the "rejects" are sent to the scrap yard where they are broken down for parts or destroyed altogether. The town powers the widget shops and carts from a hydraulic dam that is in the city. The entire city is enclosed by a large wooden fence, only the postal trucks (and citizens with proper passports) are allowed outside the city.

 Match the parts of the city (underlined) with the parts of the cell.
