Question
Chapter 39, Problem 12TYU
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason for most animals being ectotherms from an evolutionary perspective.
Introduction: Animals need to maintain their body temperature within narrow limits to function optimally. Thermoregulation is a process used by animals to maintain their body temperature within these narrow limits. An animal’s structural, physiological, and behavioral strategies decide the type of environment it can inhabit.

Subject: Bio 14 - Comaparative vertebrate anatomy
Discuss what are the significant adaptations that you find interesting in the muscular, circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems?
WHAT IF? Evaluate this claim: Ignoring the details oftheir specific anatomy, worms, humans, and most othertriploblasts have a shape analogous to that of a doughnut.
Regents Practice: Base your answer to question 1 on the information below.
Ten years ago, scientists discovered a well-preserved set of dinosaur remains
in China. This dinosaur, which walked on Earth about 125 million years ago,
had feathers and was about the same size as a turkey - but don't be fooled.
This dino's bite was a lot worse than a turkey's gobble. After a close (and
careful!) examination of the dino's teeth, scientists recently concluded that
this dinosaur was probably poisonous. The study was led by David Burnham,
who works and teaches at the University of Kansas in Lawrence.

1. State one inference that could be made based on the fact that this dinosaur had feathers.
2. Extension Activity: Evaluate the different types of evidence supporting evolutionary
relationships between species. Which type of evidence do you think provides the most
support for evolution today? Justify your response.
