Question

In one group of animals, the digestion of this food requires the mutualistic bacterium Aeromonas veronii. Adult male, but not female, Calyptra (-5[1])moths consume this food and are the only lepidopterans known to ordinarily do so. In many insects, the production of vitellogenin (-5[1])is only triggered by this food; females of such species are thus (15[1])called (15[3])anautogenous because they require this food to produce eggs. (15[1]-5[1])In some organisms, the consumption (15[1])of (15[1])this (15[1])food involves the (15[1])protein (15[1])(*) hirudin. (10[3])The (10[1])fact that few vertebrates (10[2])consume this (10[1])food is due to the need to cope with its extremely high concentrations of protein and iron. (10[1])The consumption of this food is enabled by saliva containing compounds (10[1])such as heparin that inactivate thrombin. (10[2])For 10 points, name this food that is consumed by female mosquitoes (10[3])and (10[1])by leeches and vampire bats. ■END■ (10[4])
