Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Frogs belong to the Class Amphibia, Phylum Chordata, Kingdom Animalia. They are short-bodied, carnivorous animals. Frogs are widely spread in the tropics to the subarctic regions, but mostly are found in the tropical rainforests. Frogs have a stout body, protruding eyes, glandular skin, and anteriorly attached tongue.

Describe the feedback process that would occur if you drank far more water than your body needed.
In a hot, dry desert a person can lose lots of water through sweating, but show no visible signs of sweating. One problem is that people may not realize how much water they are losing through sweating.
Why is it important to drink plenty of water under hot, dry desert conditions even when you do not feel like or realize you are sweating much? Beside dehydration, you should explain why the human body will overheat if unable to sweat under very hot and dry conditions.

- 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.arrow_forwardWhat is the trade-off of ectotherms with regard to maintaining an internal environment that doesn’t vary much? Ectotherms are larger than endotherms because they need to have a larger surface area to volume ratio in order to either increase or lower their temperature. Ectotherms usually have fur in order to conserve heat when they live in very cold environments. Ectotherms are smaller than endotherms because they need more surface area to dissipate heat relative to their insides. Ectotherms can survive in a wider variety of habitats because they are smaller and can behaviorally adapt to a wide variety of temperatures.arrow_forwardThe thirst mechansim stimulates your desire to drink fluids in response to increased salt in your blood or a decrease in___? A. Salt in intracellular fluids B. Tissue dryness C. Blood pressure and blood volume D. The amount of potassium retained intracellularlyarrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardSalty snacks like peanuts and pretzels can often be found for free at gatherings where beverages are for sale. Vendors hope that the salty snacks will make consumers thirsty so they will purchase something to drink. Why does this work? 1. The salty snacks makes people restless, so they desire some water to make them calmer. 2. The salt in the body creates a hypertonic solution around cells, which causes water to diffuse out of cells and make them crenate. 3. The salt in the body creates a hypotonic solution around cells, which causes water to diffuse into cells and make them cytolyse. 4. The salt in the body creates an isotonic solution around cells, which causes water to diffuse into and out of cells which makes them unstable.arrow_forwardHow does increasing solute concentration affect water potential? (a) water potential becomes more positive (b) water potential becomes more negative (c) water potential becomes more positive under certain conditions and more negative under other conditions (d) water potential is not affected by solute concentration (e) water potential is always zero when solutes are dissolved in waterarrow_forward
- Solutes tend to diffuse from a region where they are _______ more/less concentrated to an adjacent region where they are ________ more/less concentrated.arrow_forwardDrinking too much water can be a bad thing. If someone sweats heavily and drinks lots of water, their sodium levels drop. The resulting water intoxication can be fatal. Why is the sodium balance so important?arrow_forwardIncreasing the concentration of solutes increases osmotic potential, hence water potential decreases. A. Agree, because presence of solutes increses osmotic pressure and thus osmotic potential. C. Agree, because they just represent the same values. D. Disagree, because it is the decrease in water pressure that decreases osmotic potential. B. Disagree, because presence of solutes increases osmotic pressure which decreases osmotic potential.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardExtracellular fluids have relatively? A. high sodium and low potassium levels. B .high sodium and high potassium levels. C. higher concentrations of potassium, magnesium, phosphate, and D. sulfate ions. E. low sodium and low potassium levels. F. low sodium and high potassium levels.arrow_forwardMost of the water in an animal’s bodya. lacks any type of dissolved ions or other solutes.b. is found in the spaces between cells.c. is contained inside the cells.d. is located in the extracellular fluid.e. is unable to move between body compartments.arrow_forward
