Note: When completing this exercise, it may be useful to refer back to Labs 10-12 for information about living primates. In 2002, researchers reported the discovery of a partial skeleton from the genus Carpolestes. It lived in North America around 56 mya. It was about the size of a mouse and had a pronounced snout. It also had grasping hands and feet and a mix of nails and claws. It did not have a postorbital bar (instead, the eye socket had very little bony support). This fossil has been classified as a plesiadapiform. (See p. 385 of your lab manual for images.) Describe at least one feature that Carpolestes shares with other plesiadapiforms such as Plesiadapis.

correct answer is option a.

tropopause, stratopause and mesopause have all in common aspect that is point of maximum temperature in its layer of the atmosphere. all layers of atmosphere observe abrupt change in temperature. tropopause is the boundary between troposphere and stratosphere. stratopause is the boundary between stratosphere and mesosphere. mesopause is the boundary between mesosphere and thermosphere. these all boundaries are ranges between altitude of 0 to 80 km.

ecological efficiency: % of usable energy transferred as

biomass from one trophic level to the next typical is 10% efficient (90% of

energy is lost),is diagramed as the pyramid of energy flow. then osprey eagle

are tertiary consumer and the shrimp are primary consumer, so to balance

mass of shrimp (1/0.1) / 0.1 = 100 kg
