Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The reason why snake like ectotherm requires only an occasional meal to survive, while an endotherm , such as a mouse ,requires far more frequent meals.
Introduction:
Endotherms are also called as warm blooded animals which dependent on the internal generation of heat to maintain homeothermy. Endotherms have the ability to regulate their body temperature. Ectotherms are also called as cold blooded animals which do not have any efficient temperature regulation systems.

- Due to human activities more carbon dioxide (CO2) is dissolving into the air, the ocean takes up more CO2 and becomes increasingly acidic. Increased ocean acidity makes it more difficult for marine animals to produce their calcium-rich hard parts. Explain three types of invertebrates that are likely to be adversely affected by an increase in ocean acidity.arrow_forwardResearch 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.arrow_forwardhow do ectotherms adjust body temperature. what are some costs and benefits of ecothermey.arrow_forward
- What is a characteristic of the circulatory systems of arthropods and mollusks that distinguishes them from the circulatory system of echinoderms? They have lungs. They have muscular pumps to circulate the extracellular fluid. They are closed circulatory systems. They have extracellular fluid to transport substances to and from internal organs. They have cilia to circulate the extracellular fluid.arrow_forwardThe water vascular system of echinoderms(A) functions as a circulatory system that distributes nutrientsto body cells.(B) functions in locomotion and feeding.(C) is bilateral in organization, even though the adult animalis not bilaterally symmetrical.(D) moves water through the animal’s body during filter feeding.arrow_forwardWhat is Mammalian body cavities ?arrow_forward
- how do the different organ systems work together in ensuring animal survival?arrow_forwardConsider 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 endothermarrow_forwardHow could the increasing global temperature associated with climate change impact ectotherms? a. Ectotherm diversity will decrease in cool regions. b. Ectotherms will be able to be active all day in the tropics. c. Ectotherms will have to expend more energy to cool their body temperatures. d. Ectotherms will be able to expand into new habitats.arrow_forward
