Young downstream salmon migrants moving from their freshwater natal streams into the sea leave an environment nearly free of salt to enter one containing three times as much salt as their body fluids. Describe osmotic challenges of each environment and suggest phys-iological adjustments salmon must make in moving from freshwater to the sea
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?
Imagine a saltwater fish is placed into freshwater. What would happen on a cellular level? How are fish like salmon, who spend the first part of their life in the ocean and then travel to freshwater to spawn, able to overcome potential physiological consequences? Describe three adaptations salmon use to overcome the salinity changes encountered.
How do avian turbinates allow for water retention; anatomically, why aren’t primates as good at this process?
Suppose you varied air temperature and measured oxygenconsumption for a female Burmese python without a clutch of eggs. Since shewould not show shivering behavior, how would you expect the snake’s oxygenconsumption to vary with environmental temperature?
Explain why it is advantageous for certain small birds and mam-mals to abandon homeothermy during brief or extended periods of their lives.
Ectothermic insects have respiration rates that are proportional to the temperature of their surroundings How do insects in the a) tropics, b) cold regions of the world and c) desert cope with the climatic condition?
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.
The mammalian kidney is filled with over 1 million nephrons and this organ is considered a highly complex structure. What are the intermediate steps observed throughout the animal kingdom that led to the kidney?
A. List some invertebrates who are endotherms B. How can something be ectothermic but also maintain homeothermy? C. What are some ways that ectotherms (so called cold blooded) animals can adjust their temps behaviorally?
What types of experiments led to evidence regarding theeffect of oxytocin and vasopressin on mammalian behavior?
Both saltwater and freshwater fish have adaptations to control the movement of water and salts across their external surfaces. Describe what would happen without these adaptations.
