The oxygen consumption of marine crabs acclimated to either 10°C or 20°C was measured at environmental temperatures of 5°C to 25°C to produce the following graph.

Which of the following can be correctly concluded from the information in the graph?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. Acclimation temperature does not affect the rate of oxygen consumption.
  2. Crabs have higher rates of oxygen consumption when measured at 10°C than when measured at 20°C.
  3. Oxygen consumption is higher in the 10°C-acclimated crabs than in the 20°C-acclimated crabs at each test temperature.
  4. Acclimation to a high temperature induces a high rate of oxygen consumption at all test temperatures.

Most tumors induce the formation of new blood vessels that invade the tumor and nourish it, a process called angiogenesis. Following statements are regarding to angiogenesis.

A. Angiogenesis allow the tumor to increase in size and thus increase the probability that additional harmful mutations will occur.

B. Angiogenesis also facilitates the process of metastasis.

C. The VEGF receptors, which are tyrosine kinases, regulate several aspects of angiogenesis such as endothelial cell survival and growth, endothelial cell migration, and vessel wall permeability.

D. VEGF expression can be induced by oncogenes and by hypoxia, defined as a partial pressure of oxygen of more than 7 mmHg.

E. A transcription factor VEGF is activated in low-oxygen conditions and which binds to and induces transcription of the HIF-1 gene which  affect the probability of tumor growth by angiogenesis.
