As body size increases in animals, there is greater variability in metabolic rate. it becomes more difficult to conserve body warmth in cold environments. migration to tropical areas becomes necessary for thermoregulation. there is a decrease in the surface-to-volume ratio. reproduction becomes limited to terrestrial environments.

Ectotherms use more energy to maintain their body temperature than endotherms are better able to carry out intense, long-duration activity than endotherms have a more constant internal body temperature than endotherms gain most of their heat from external sources have a higher metabolic rate than similarly-sized endotherms
Which of the following statements relating to survival needs is correct? nutrients contain chemical substances used for cell building and energy oxidative reactions require oxygen to release energy water acts as the fluid base for body excretions a and b a, b, and c
Consider an ectotherm and an endotherm of equal body mass. Which of the following would you expect to be true? -both animals require the same amount of energy per unit mass -the ectotherm requires more daily calories from food than the endotherm -the endotherm requires less energy per unit mass but more total energy than the ectotherm -the ectotherm requires less energy per unit mass but more total energy than the endotherm -the ectotherm could survive a longer period without food relative to the endotherm
After eating, the level of sugar in the blood rises quickly. Soon after, sugars are quickly transported from the bloodstream to the muscle and liver to be used later as needed (sugar levels return to basal levels). Which characteristic of life is described here? 1. Ability to reproduce 2. Homeostasis 3. Use of energy 3. Ability to evolve 4. Response to environment
Which of the following are negative physiological feedback loops? Group of answer choices Osmoregulation in mammals Thermoregulation in mammals Generation of action potential in animal neurons Physiological mechanisms leading to labor and birth in eutherian mammals pH maintenance in animal cells
Compared to animals that are smaller, animals that are larger become cold more easily because they have a greater volume of tissue to keep warm have an easier time retaining heat produced by their metabolism are better adapted to and more likely to rely on cutaneous respiration because they have more skin
During intense exercises and when muscles are working harder, our cells metabolize glucose rapidly resulting to oxygen molecules being quickly consumed. Which of the following becomes the human body's coping mechanism in response to limited oxygen supply? faster breathing and lower blood circulation slower breathing and faster blood circulation faster breathing and faster blood circulation slower breathing and slower blood circulation
What is the cost of homeostasis? Choose the best answer. Group of answer choices Increased susceptibility to predation Increased production of heat Decreased mobility Increased need for food
Endothermy is a characteristic of most animals found in tropical zones. is seen only in insects and in certain predatory fishes. is a characteristic of animals that have a fairly constant body temperature. is a term equivalent to cold-blooded. is a characteristic of mammals but not of birds.
Gas bladders make up an average of 5 percent of body volume in marine fish and 7 percent of body volume (on average) in freshwater fish. What is the reason for this difference? freshwater fish have a larger average body size than salt water fish it is more difficult to produce lift swimming in freshwater than swimming in saltwater freshwater fish need to have a lower overall body density in order to remain neutrally boyant freshwater fish need to have a higher overall body density in order to remain neutrally boyant
Which of the following animals uses the largest percentage ofits energy budget for homeostatic regulation?(A) marine jelly (an invertebrate)(B) snake in a temperate forest(C) desert insect(D) desert bird
Endothermy and Ectothermy are two strategies that organisms use to generate or maintain their internal body temperature. An ectotherm is an organism that derives very little of its body temperature internally, and relies on the environment for heat. An endotherm is an organism that maintains its own body at a metabolically favorable temperature by internal means. Question: How does temperature affect endotherms and ectotherms differently? Describe the evidence that will help you make a claim about the question: How does temperature affect endotherms and ectotherms differently?
