Students have asked these similar questions
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.

- Compare the costs and benefits of being an endotherm, and describe strategies endotherms use to adjust their body temperature.arrow_forwardConsider the following energy demands: basal metabolism, reproduction, thermoregulation, activity, and growth; How should the energy spent toward these demands differ between an endotherm and an ectotherm of the same size?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
- The 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_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_forwardexplain the difference between ectotherms and endotherms, and give examples of each?arrow_forward
- a) 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_forwardWhich 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_forward
- Define the term homeotherm.arrow_forwardFrom the list of strategies for dealing with harsh cold environments, choose those that an ectotherm would employ: -Supercooling -Freeze tolerance -Dormant eggs -Hibernation -Torpor Choose all that apply.
