But the dolphins hole from the top.
4. Investigating how Dolphins grow and function: A class was interested in how dolphins grow. The teacher
started the lesson by telling his
students that a dolphin eats a lot of food each week but only gains a little bit of
weight.
The teacher asked, "What happened to the mass of the rest of the food?"
a. Three students shared their ideas. Do you agree or disagree with what each student claims?
Agree Disagree Jared: "The dolphin's body turned the mass of the food into energy in order
to grow."
Agree Disagree Anup: "The dolphin breathed out most of the extra mass of the food as
gases, like CO₂."
Agree Disagree Bianca: "The dolphin's body got rid of most of the extra mass of the food as
solid waste (feces)."
b. Provide an explanation. Why do you agree or disagree with each student's claim?

Final answer:

Jared's claim is supported, Anup's claim is disagreed with, and Bianca's claim is validated regarding how dolphins handle the mass of food they consume.


Explanation:

Jared: I agree with Jared's claim. When dolphins consume food, their bodies convert the mass of the food into energy through processes like metabolism to support growth.

Anup: I disagree with Anup's claim. Dolphins primarily release excess mass as waste products, not as gases like CO2.

Bianca: I agree with Bianca's claim. Most of the extra mass of the food dolphins consume is indeed eliminated as solid waste, such as feces.
