A scientist is studying metabolic rate in a Giant Hummingbird in Peru. The scientist assumes a captured individual has been feeding on nectar (glucose) recently, but in fact the individual has not fed in the last hour and is currently metabolizing fat (palmitic acid). 3. Calculate the measurement error the scientist would introduce based on their faulty assumption if the scientist were measuring CO2 production. Will the scientist over- or underestimate metabolic rate

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, the scientist underestimate the metabolic rate of Giant Hummingbird. The scientist experience the measurement error due to non-feeding of Giant Hummingbird that leads to faulty assumption when the scientist were measuring CO2 production because the Giant Hummingbird breakdown the fats of the body for the release of energy instead of glucose. There is difference in the production of carbondioxide rate due to difference in the composition of fats and glucose.

not the best question format lol but what i think might as scale color is controlled by a single gene with two alleles, the green allele and the yellow allele. when moths that are homozygous for green scales are mated with moths that are homozygous for yellow scales, 100% of the offspring have green scales.
