Under what conditions are generalization favored overspecialization and vice versa. Explain why those conditions lead to specialization or generalization. For each of the animals below, tell me the ways they are likely to avoid predation of themselves or their offspring (tactics that may be employed to deter predators, camouflage techniques, behavioral techniques/postures, etc.). There can be multiple answers per species. You’ll have to use your web skills to look these up! Put some thought into it!

In the glycolytic pathway, the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase catalyzes the conversion of of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, which is then immediately utilized by glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate hydrogenase to continue through glycolysis. In an experimental cell culture model, inhibition of triose phosphate isomerase leads to cell death in anaerobic conditions. These cells survive, however under aerobic conditions. Please explain these findings. In your answer consider the energy production in aerobic vs. anaerobic metabolism.
