Q

different adaptations for hot env: structural - insulation

A

the more insulated an animal is, the harder it is for the animal to release heat into the env - thickness of fat & fur

5
Q

different adaptations for hot env: structural - SA:V

A

high ratio: releases or absorbs large amounts of heat in little time, allowing body temp to quickly change, low ratio: beneficial for animals where are constantly exposed to direct sunlight or cant escape

Q

different adaptations for hot env: physiological - metabolic heat

A

spend alot of energy producing heat, but in desert they must have effective strateies to release excess heat

Q

different adaptations for hot env: physiological - suface blood flow

A

When internal temperatures rise, blood vessels near the surface dilate and total surface blood flow increases – cooling the animal

Q

different adaptations for hot env: physiological
- increase water input

A

due to low availability of urface water, most desert animals obtain their water from other sources

16
Q

different adaptations for hot env: behaviorable - evading extreme conditions

A

seek out shade or retreat to a burrow system.

17
Q

different adaptations for hot env: behaviorable - enduring extreme conditions

A

when hot, aniaml have ways to deal w it by releasing waste and heat into env, taking breaks during hot hours or licking and wallowing

18
Q

adapting to desert plants

A

in order to survive hot n dry env they must decrease heat intake, maximise their water uptake, minimise their water loss

19
Q

plants: increase water uptake

A

extensive deep root systems to reach groundwater reserves, spread roots horizontally to absorb the maximum amount of surface water during the brief periods of rain

20
Q

plants: water storage

A

collect huge amount of water during season & storing it

21
Q

plants: mini water loss

A

through stomata
