To determine: The costs and benefits of ectothermy.
Introduction: In order to survive and function properly animals need to maintain
To determine: The strategies used by ectotherms to adjust their body temperature.
Introduction: Animals need to maintain a balanced state of body temperature to survive and function properly. The body temperature is maintained within narrow limits despite the changes in the surrounding temperature through a process called thermoregulation.

- Which of the following is not a way that ectotherms can change their body temperatures? a. Sweating for evaporative cooling. b. Adjusting the timing of their daily activities. c. Seek out or avoid direct sunlight. d. Huddle in a group.arrow_forwardThe main difference between ectotherms and endotherms is how they obtain food to provide for their metabolism. the source of their body heat. whether they conserve or eliminate body heat. whether they control their body temperature.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_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardCompare the costs and benefits of being an ectotherm, and describe strategies ectotherms use to adjust their body temperature.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements best summarizes the difference between ectothermic and endothermic organisms? Group of answer choices Ectotherms absorb external heat, but endotherms use metabolic heat to maintain a warm, steady body temperature Ectotherms are warm-blooded, but endotherms are cold-blooded Endotherms control their temperature, but ectotherms have no control over their temperature Endotherms are warm-blooded, but ectotherms are cold-bloodedarrow_forward
- From the list of strategies for dealing with harsh cold environments, choose those that an ectotherm would employ. See image attatched.arrow_forwardWhy swimming is considered a life skill?arrow_forwardWhat is the relative percentage of body weight from each of the four tissue types? (Module 4.16A)arrow_forward
