To prepare for a hiking trip in the Appalachian mountains you buy several field guides for the region from a used bookstore. You notice that the older guides list a single species of tiger swallowtail butterfly Papilio glaucus and an Appalachian morph of this species. However the newest guide list two separate species P. glaucus and P. appalachiensis. The authors of this guide state that the biological species concept was used in determining their classifications. What do you think led them to list two separate species of tiger swallowtail?
A. The discovery that P. glaucus and P. appalachiensis interbreed in the wild.
B. The discovery that P. glaucus and P. appalachiensis have a genomic similarity of 99%.
C. The discovery that P. glaucus and P. appalachiensis do not interbreed in the wild.
D. The discovery that P. glaucus and P. appalachiensis have distinct differences in wing coloration.
E. The discovery that P. glaucus and P. appalachiensis feed on different host plants.
C. The discovery that P. glaucus and P. appalachiensis do not interbreed in the wild.

Some people trying to lose weight have gone on the Atkins diet, in which they eat mostly high-protein, low-carbohydrate foods such as meat, cheese, and eggs
The amino acids in these protein-rich diets, such as alanine, glycine, and serine, can be converted to pyruvate by deamination (removal of the amino group). Based on this scenario as well as your knowledge of cellular respiration, how many ATP, NADH, and FADH2 molecules will be generated from one molecule of alanine during the mitochondrial matrix reactions? Hint: Only consider the reactions from the point at which the alanine carbons enter cellular respiration. A) 2 FADH2, 6 NADH, and 2 ATP B) 1 FADH2, 1 NADH, and 1 ATP C) 2 FADH2, 3 NADH, and 2 ATP D) 0 FADH2, 1 NADH, and 2 ATP E) 1 FADH2, 4 NADH, and 1 ATP
