- Research the behaviours of a specific ectothermic animal. How do specific behaviours allow for the animal to control its body temperature in cool and hot conditions? How do specific parts of the animal’s anatomy help with thermoregulation? Use a feedback diagram to show how this animal uses thermoregulation in one of these conditions: ectotherm in cool conditions ectotherm in hot conditions Be sure to use ⊕ and ⊝ symbols in the feedback diagram to add important details.arrow_forwardIn a positive-feedback system the hormone A increases the amount of protein X. Which of the following statements is correct? Group of answer choices a decrease in X always causes a decrease in A, which causes an increase in X. a decrease in A always produces an increase in X, which results in an increase in A. an increase in A always produces an increase in X, which results in an increase in A. an increase in X always produces a decrease in A, which results in a decrease in X.arrow_forwardFrom the list of strategies for dealing with harsh cold environments, choose those that an ectotherm would employ.

- Which of the following is an example of negative feedback? Group of answer choices D. A and B are both examples of negative feedback F. All of the above are examples of negative feedback E. B and C are both examples of negative feedback B. A drop in blood pressure triggers an increase in heart rate, which causes blood pressure to go up. C. Increased blood sugar triggers the release of the hormone insulin, which causes body cells to take up glucose and store it. This decreases blood sugar levels. A. Contractions of the uterus during labor are stimulated by the hormone oxytocin, and the release of oxytocin from the pituitary is stimulated by contractions of the uterus.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true?
