Students have asked these similar questions
for aquatic animals such as sharks, how do the animals maintain their body temperature when they are in warmer or colder waters? do they have a method where they can decrease or increase their body temperatures slightly such as torpor in birds?
A high metabolic rate warms the animal from within, and insulation (such as fur and
body fat) slows heat loss. Birds for example are warm-blooded animals that have high
metabolism. During the winter, how do birds keep their body warm? The answers are
found in their parts, their feathers, legs and feet, and their behavior like fluffing,
shivering and roosting. How do their feathers, legs and feet help them regulate their
body temperature? How do fluffing, shivering and roosting regulate bird's body
temperature?
Which of the following help mammals retain body heat?
hair and body fat
Obones and body fat
bones and sweat glands
hair and sweat glands

How would this reduce the rate of heat lost through conduction?arrow_forwardPredict what would happen to the metabolic rate of the mouse if you increased the temperature. Predict what would happen to the metabolic rate of the mouse if you decreased the temperature (You can make this prediction with text or with lines on your graph). Support your prediction with evidence about endotherms and ectotherms. (Hint: Think about what happens to your body when you get hot or cold.)arrow_forward
- 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_forwardAll else being equal, a warm chameleon sitting on a sunny tree branch will experience a decrease in body temperature due to conduction if: It changes color, and its new hue is a lighter color, reducing the amount of energy the chameleon absorbs from the sun. The branch is cooler than the chameleon, and heat moves directly from the warmer animal to the cooler branch. It opens its mouth, allowing water to evaporate from its tongue and cheeks. OA cold breeze moves over the chameleon, transferring heat from the warmer chameleon to the cooler, moving air.arrow_forwardHow does sea otters stay warm differ from the way in which seals stay warm?

- Endothermic animals can maintain consistent temperature conditions by generating, main- taining, and regulating their body heat. Under cold conditions, more body heat becomes lost to the environment. Endothermic ani- mals rely on different mechanisms that allow them to maintain their body heat. Which of the following mechanisms that occur in endothermic animals does not describe a mechanism by which they maintain their body heat under these types of conditions? A B с D Some endothermic animals hibernate during extreme environmental conditions, which decreases the rate of metabolic reaction and decreases heat loss. The tissues of the blood vessels of many endothermic animals can dilate and move closer to the skin, allowing for heat to move more readily into the environment. Shivering, which can occur involuntarily in most endothermic animals, produces rapid muscle contractions, which increase the rate of cellular respiration and thereby increase heat production.
