Evidence from current distributions (biogeography) implies antiquity of many insect lineages. Their distinct distribution, specific ecological requirements, and their restricted vagility in a number of genera suggest that their species were derived from ancestors that existed prior to continental movements of jurassic and cretaceous periods. The woodroaches have a distic=nct distribution in Eurasia, western USA, and southeastern USA where there is cryptic diversity. Phylogenetic analysis of bacterial RNA show that they follow branching pattern.
Explain how current distributions (biogeography) of insects may be interpreted as evidence for their evolutionary antiquity....
1. According to the paper, what does lactate dehydrogenase
(LDH) do and what does it allow to happen within the myofiber? (5

3. Using Figure 1 in the paper, briefly describe the different
sources of ATP production at 50% versus 90% AND explain whether you
believe this depiction of ATP production applies to a Type IIX
myofiber in a human....
