Predict 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.)

An average adult cheetah has a metabolic mass of 44,010 grams and a resting metabolic rate of 61.77 joules per second. Based on these data, would you characterize the cheetah as an ectotherm or endotherm? Support your answer with evidence from the graph.
An average adult cheetah has a mass of 44,010 grams and a metabolic rate of 61.77 joules per second. Use these data to place the cheetah on the graph. Based on these data, would you characterize the cheetah as an endotherm or ectotherm? How do you know?
You 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.
Using the Venn diagram compare and contrast how thermoregulation in the human body is comparable to a thermostat regulating temperature in a home or building.
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?
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.
Which of the following statements is True?a. Ectotherms generate most of their body heatmetabolically.b. Ectotherms include birds and mammals.c. Ectotherms experience variable body temperatures.d. Ectotherms are known as “warm-blooded” animals.
A tiger was chasing a mouse across a field. Each was running at the same pace and increased its internal temperature to the same ratio of its initial body temperature. Which explanation correctly describes which animal would return to its initial temperature more quickly after the chase ended? A. The mouse loses water more quickly, and evaporation will cool its body faster because of size. B. The mouse has adapted to running longer distances relative to size and is more fit than the tiger. C. The tiger has a larger surface-area-to-volume ratio and will cool more quickly. D. The tiger can cool more quickly because of decreased metabolic rates within larger animals.
Draw a negative feedback loop for maintaining homeostasis for thermoregulation where your body temperature is above the set point. In your drawing, include the stimulus, sensor, integrator, effector, and the arrows between the components to indicate how they all relate (be sure to indicate what each of these components are in your body, for example, what is your integrator). Further, answer the following two questions. First, what might be different between the response of an endothermic and an ectothermic animal in maintaining homeostasis? Second, describe what a negative feedback loop is and how it pertains to homeostasis.
Please construct a model to show that the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems work together to supply the body cells with the glucose and oxygen needed for aerobic cellular respiration. Feel free to use words, diagrams, arrows, flowcharts, etc. to get your ideas across. Make sure you include the following information: Digestion of starch into glucose and the location(s) of digestion. Absorption of glucose into the blood and the location of absorption. Blood transporting glucose from the absorption site to the tissues. Glucose entering the tissue cells from the blood. O2 entering the blood in the lungs and the specific location of entrance in the lungs. Blood transporting O2 from the lungs into the tissues. O2 enters the tissues from the blood.
After a long, hot run together, your friend tells you that you should dunk your head into a cooler of water to lower your body temperature more rapidly, rather than sitting and waiting to cool down. What do you think? Form a hypothesis, about how the ice-cold water might affect the rate at which your body temperature returns to normal. How could you test your hypothesis? Explain your answer.
What labels would you use to describe an animal that cannot use its metabolism to generate heat but homeostatically regulates its body temperature around a specific set point using other means? Explain your reasoning.
