1

Endothermic creatures

________ are primarily warmed by heat produced by metabolism.

New cards
2

Circadian rhythms

________ are daily variations in metabolism and behavior that are synchronized with light and dark cycles in the environment.

New cards
3

Flatforms

________ and simple two- layered sacs enhance exposure to the surrounding media.

New cards
4

majority of homeostatic processes

The ________ are based on negative feedback, in which the reaction lowers the stimulus.

New cards
5

Insulation

________ and countercurrent exchange decrease heat loss, but panting, sweating, and bathing promotes evaporation and therefore chill the body.

New cards
6

Physical laws

________ can have an impact on animal body designs, to the largest size possible thickness increases as body dimensions grow.

New cards
7

interior surfaces

On the exterior and ________, epithelial tissue creates active interfaces; connective tissue binds and supports other tissues; and muscle tissue contracts.

New cards
8

homeostasis

Animals use energy to maintain their basal (or standard) metabolism, activity, ________, growth, and reproduction.

New cards
9

Endothermy

________ necessitates a higher energy expenditure.

New cards
10

Physiological

________ and behavioral adaptations balance heat input and loss caused by radiation, evaporation, convection, and conduction.

New cards
11

Mobility

________ comes to an end at some time as it gets constrained by taking into account the percentage of body mass in leg muscles and the effective force generated by such muscles.

New cards
12

Scientists

________ can calculate the maximum running speed for a variety of animals with a variety of body plans.

New cards
13

extra constraints

Animals must interchange nutrients, waste materials, and gases with their surroundings, which places ________ on body designs.

New cards
14

Ectothermic creatures

________ acquire the majority of their heat from outside sources.

New cards
15

Positive feedback

________, on the other hand, entails the response's amplification of a stimulus and frequently results in a change in status, such as the transition from pregnancy to delivery.

New cards
16

Animal bodies

________ are made up of a series of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems that are organized in a hierarchy.

New cards
17

Thermoregulation homeostatic processes

________ involve shape, function, and behavior.

New cards
18

physical principles

The evolution of an animal's size and shape is governed by ________.

New cards
19

behavioral reactions

Many ectotherms and endotherms alter their rate of heat exchange with their environment by vasodilation or vasoconstriction, as well as through ________.

New cards
20

endocrine

The ________ and neurological systems are the two systems that communicate between various parts of the body.

New cards
21

numerous cells

A mammal, on the other hand, is made up of ________, each with its own plasma membrane across which exchange must take place.

New cards
22

body plan

Size and form may be referred to as parts of a "________ "or "design, "but this does not indicate an intentional creation process.

New cards
23

animal cell

Every ________ requires access to an aquatic environment.

New cards
24

Thermoregulation

________ is the process through which an animal keeps its internal temperature within an acceptable range.

New cards
25

Body temperature

________ can change in response to external temperature, as in poikilotherms, or it can be relatively stable, as in homeotherms.

New cards
26

Homeostasis

________ is the ability to maintain a constant condition despite internal and external changes.
