Textbook Question
Chapter 44.1, Problem 3CC
WHAT IF? Ø Researchers found that a camel in the sun required much more water when its fur was shaved off, although its body temperature was the same. What can you conclude about the relationship between osmoregulation and the insulation provided by fur?

Whales can be deep divers with seemingly no ill effects. In the article by Hooker and Baird (1999), why do they suspect the whale dives were aerobic? Why do whales lower their ascent rate when diving to these great depth
Compare the metabolic rates in endotherms v ectotherms. What are the ratios for daytime Standard Metabolic Rates (SMR) and Field Metabolic Rates (FMR) in a lizard and a mouse?
If osmoregulatory hypotonic fish species are generally bony fish and osmoregulatory hypertonic fish species are generally soft and absorbent. Does it mean the reason for them being soft or bony from an evolutionary standpoint gives reason to why they are formed that way?
Basically what I'm trying to ask is whether they are hypotonic or hypertonic, does it have a correlation to why they are bony or muscular like in structure.

- Which of the following statements about osmoregulation is true? a. In freshwater invertebrates, salts move out of the body into the water because the animal is hypoosmotic to the water. b. A marine teleost has to fight gaining water because it is isoosmotic to the sea. c. Most land animals are osmoconformers. d. Vertebrates are usually osmoregulators. e. Terrestrial animals can regulate their osmolarity withoutexpending energy.arrow_forwardDescribe the function of major hormones (steroid hormones, epinephrine, insulin & glucagon) and major endocrine glands (hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal glands, pancreas) and how they regulate metabolism. Explain the organs and tissues different groups use for osmoregulation including how the countercurrent exchange in the loop of Henle allows mammals to recycle water and ions. Explain how organisms control osmolarity, and how their particular strategies depend on the environment they inhabit.arrow_forwardWhat is an effect of drinking too much water? Multiple Choice Osmoreceptors gain water and swell; ADH release is stimulated. Osmoreceptors lose water and shrink; ADH release is inhibited. Osmoreceptors lose water and shrink; ADH release is stimulated. Osmoreceptors gain water and swell; ADH release is inhibited. What is metabolic water? Multiple Choice Water consumed in beverages Water that a person drinks after exercising Water that is in food A by-product of the oxidative metabolism of nutrientsarrow_forward
- Endothermic homeotherms, like mammals, maintain a high internal body temperature, whereas ectothermic poikilotherms, like some reptiles, have internal body temperatures that fluctuate depending on the ambient temperature of their environment. Based on their metabolism, why might mammals have determinate growth whereas some reptiles have indeterminate growth?arrow_forwardYou are studying a large tropical reptile that has a high and relatively stable body temperature. How do you determine whether this animal is an endotherm or an ectotherm? (A) You know from its high and stable body temperature that it must be an endotherm. (B) You subject this reptile to various temperatures in the lab and find that its body temperature and metabolic rate change with the ambient temperature. You conclude that it is an ectotherm. (C) You note that its environment has a high and stable temperature. Because its body temperature matches the environmental temperature, you conclude that it is an ectotherm. (D) You measure the metabolic rate of the reptile, and because it is higher than that of a related species that lives in temperate forests, you conclude that this reptile is an endotherm and its relative is an ectotherm.arrow_forwardI need help with a biology question?

- Which of the following is not true about acclimatization?
