Describe what happens in an endotherm and an ectotherm when outside temperature gets cold, and what happens when it gets hot.
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.
From the list of strategies for dealing with harsh cold environments, choose those that an ectotherm would employ. See image attatched.

- explain the difference between ectotherms and endotherms, and give examples of each?arrow_forwarda) Name an example of an ectotherm living a homeothermic life b) Explain how how they can do thisarrow_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_forward
