48
Q

2 thermal characteristics of animals

A
  1. Ectotherms

2. Endotherms

49
Q

Ectotherms
•definition
•examples

A

Gain heat from environment

•Reptiles, fish, amphibians, all invertebrates

50
Q

Endotherms
•definition
•examples

A
  • generates its own heat from metabolism
  • mammals and birds
  • “warm-blooded”
51
Q

Metabolic rate

A

the amount of energy used by an animal/time

52
Q

Who has a greater metabolic rate, endotherms or ectotherms?

A

Endotherms

53
Q

Basal metabolic rate

A

minimum metabolic rate of a fasting, nongrowing endotherm at rest under a comfortable temperature range

54
Q

How do you determine a temperature range in a basal metabolic rate?

A

by measuring oxygen consumption

55

A

Small animals

56
Q

3 approaches to sex in animals

A
  1. Parthenogenesis
  2. Hermaphroditism (monoecious)
  3. Biparental reproduction (dioecious)
57
Q

Parthenogenesis
•definition
•example

A
  • development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg; virgin birth
  • honeybees, whip-tail lizards
58
Q 
Hermaphrodites
•definition
•what does it require
•advantage
•examples
A
  • One individual has both testes and ovaries and can produce both eggs and sperm
  • Requires another individual to reproduce
  • Do not need anyone else
  • Barnacles, and earthworms
59
Q

Biparental reproduction

•2 mechanisms

A
  1. External fertilization

2. Internal fertilization

60
Q

External Fertilization
•definition
•Common in what type of animal?
•Why is it uncommon in land animals

A
  • females release eggs into water and males release sperm into the water containing the eggs. The union of the egg and sperm then occurs
  • animals that live in water
  • Because it can dry out (desiccation)
61
Q

Internal Fertilization
•definition
•advantage it offers terrestrial animals

A
  • Introduction of males gametes into the female reproduction tract
  • The egg and sperm will not dry out
62
Q

Copulation

A

Introduction of sperm by the male into female’s body

63
Q

3 strategies for embryonic development

A
  1. oviparity
  2. ovoviviparity
  3. viviparity
64
Q

Oviparity
•definition
•examples

A
  • Eggs are fertilized internally but are deposited outside the mother’s body to complete development
  • all birds, most reptiles
65
Q 
Ovoviviparity
•definition 
•what do the embryos obtain 
•what is released from the mother 
•examples
A
  • fertilized eggs are retained in mother to complete their development
  • all nourishment from egg yolk
  • live you are hatched and released
  • some bony fish (guppies, mollies), some reptiles, some cartilage fish
66
Q

Viviparity
•definition
•what do the embryos obtain
•examples

A
  • fertilized eggs are retained in mother to complete their development
  • all nourishment from mother’s blood and NOT egg yolk
  • most cartilaginous fish, few reptiles, almost all mammals
67
Q

Seasonal breeders

A
  • reproduce once a year

* definite mating season

68
Q

3 reproductioncycles

A
  1. estrous cycle
  2. Menstrual cycle
  3. Induced ovulators
69
Q

Estrous cycle

A
  • period when female is sexually receptive to males
  • females are in estrus
  • occurs around the time of ovulation
  • males are more constant in their reproductive activity
  • example:dog
70
Q

Menstrual cycle

A
  • no distinct period of sexual receptivity
  • may engage in copulation any time during the cycle
  • females bleed when they shed their inner lining of uterus during menstruation
  • female humans and apes
71
Q

Induced ovulators

A

Females ovulate only after copulation

•example:rabbits and cats

72
Q

Three reproduction patterns in mammals

A
  1. monotremes
  2. Marsupials
  3. Placental
73
Q

Monotremes
•definition
•example

A
  • egg laying mammals

* platypus

74
Q

Marsupials
•how to they give birth
•development
•examples

A
  • to fetuses that are incompletely developed
  • is in a pouch of the mother’s skin where the fetuses obtain nourishment from nipples of the mammary glands
  • kangaroo and possum
75
Q

Placental
•where are the fetus’s
•how are they nourished
•example

A
  • remain in the mother for long periods
  • by a structure called the placenta
  • nutrients and gas exchange between fetus and mother occur in the placenta
  • cat, lemur, human
