1. In your own words, explain why foraging on wild cherry flowers is beneficial for bumblebees in warm weather but not in cold weather. 2. Mammals have brains that are more complex than those of fish and amphibians, particularly in terms of expansion of the cerebral cortex. Does this increased complexity make mammals more advanced and fish and amphibians more primitive? Why or why not? Solution Foraging on wild cherry flowers is beneficial for bumblebees in warm weather but not in cold weather. Cherries require bees to move pollen within and between flowers to achieve pollination. Bumblebees are vegetarian and get their food from flowers. They would die of starvation without flowers. They collect pollen and nectar in warm and store relatively small quantities of honey. Mammals have brains that are more complex than those of fish and amphibians, particularly in terms of expansion of the cerebral cortex. The main part of a mammal’s brain is the cerebrum, which allows for very efficient processing and complex sensory functions.In a human, the cerebral cortex contains approximately 15–33 billion neurons,each connected by synapses to several thousand other neurons. These neurons communicate with one another by means of long protoplasmic fibers called axons, which carry trains of signal pulses called action potentials to distant parts of the brain or body targeting specific recipient cells. increased complexity make mammals more advanced and fish and amphibians more primitive as Mammals have the highest brain to body size ratio, meaning that they can have very complex interactions with the environment..
