Why does The muscle cells responsible for bumblebee flight have a large amount of mitochondria. Explain why.?

The muscle cells responsible for bumblebee flight contain a high density of mitochondria to meet the intense energy demands of rapid wing movement. Mitochondria are the cell's powerhouses, generating ATP through aerobic respiration, which is crucial for sustained flight. The large number of mitochondria enables bumblebees to efficiently produce the energy needed for their high metabolic rate during flight, allowing them to hover and maneuver effectively.


Can bat be considered as a connecting link of mammals and birds in the trend of evolution?

Yes, bats can be considered a connecting link between mammals and birds in the trend of evolution because they are unique in being the only mammal capable of sustained flight. This adaptation has led to similarities with birds in terms of wing structure and flight behavior, suggesting a convergence in evolutionary pathways between these two groups.


What is the population number at which maximum sustained yield is achieved if the carrying capacity of its area is 60?

The population number at which maximum sustained yield is achieved is half of the carrying capacity. Therefore, in this case, the maximum sustained yield would be achieved when the population reaches 30.

Can air support solid objects in sustaind flight?

No, air alone cannot support solid objects in sustained flight. In order for an object to achieve sustained flight, it needs additional propulsion or lift mechanisms such as wings, rotors, or jets to counteract gravity and stay airborne.

Why is the wright flyer considered revolutionary?

It was the first powered airplane to achieve sustained flight--as opposed to lifting off the ground and immediately landing, it flew for nine seconds on its first sustained flight. Nine seconds is nothing in 2009, but in 1903 when it had never been done before, it was amazing.
