Question
Chapter 33, Problem 1WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Whether the given amount of nectar can support a greater mass of insects or of birds when the birds are endothermic and the insects are ectothermic.
Concept introduction:
Thermoregulation is the mechanism by which, an organism maintains its body temperature. The heat which is lost to the environment and the heat gained by metabolic activities are balanced in thermoregulation in order to maintain homeostasis.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of these is not a function of the kidneys?
A) The kidneys regulate the plasma volume
B) The kidneys help to regulate blood pressure
C) The kidneys help control the rate of red blood cell production
D) The kidneys deactivate vitamin D and stimulate the activity of osteoclasts
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.
Explain how insects use Malpighian tubules to excrete wastes and maintain osmotic balance
