Lesson 5: Fitness & Metabolic Variation
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
Calculate metabolic reaction rates using change-over-time experimental data to determine phenotypic fitness differences under unique environmental conditions.
How does possessing a broad suite of accessory pigments provide an evolutionary advantage to an understory plant species growing beneath a dense forest canopy?
What conclusions can be drawn about an organism's relative fitness if its metabolic rate increases drastically in response to minor temperature increases?
3.2 Environmental Impacts on Enzyme Function
Variations in molecular composition provide organisms with the physiological flexibility to survive and reproduce in diverse environmental conditions.
