Thermoregulation

Question 2

Carbohydrates, fate in animal cells

Answer 2

Easiest to get, turned to glucose and ATP, immediate energy, short term stored as glycogen, long term stored as fat

Question 3

Lipids, fate in animal cells

Answer 3

Turned to fatty acids and glycerin and ATP, immediate resources for long duration tasks, stored as adipose/fat, build cell walls and hormones

Question 4

Protiens/amino acids, fate in animal cells

Answer 4

Turned to ATP, stored as glucose or fat, only used if carbos and fats are low, growth, repair, enzymes

Question 5

Four types of metabolic measurings

Answer 5

Direct calorimentry, heat production
Indirect calorimentry, oxygen use/CO2 production
Respiromentry, oxygen use/CO2 production
Double labeled water, isotope movement via respiration and waste

Question 6

Giganotthetmoregulation

Answer 6

AKA homeotherapy
Large ectoterms more easily mantain constant and higher body temps compared to smaller ectotherms with similar surface area

Larger = lower metabolic rate, can stay warm longer

Question 7

Basal metabolic rate vs Standard metabolic rate

Answer 7

BMR: endotherms, be resting but not asleep, not digesting, maintaince of bodily functions

SMR: ectotherms, at rest, digesting, temp dependent

Question 8

Four animal:environment heat exchanges

Answer 8

Radiation (sun)
Conduction (warm rock)
Convection (liquid/air movement)
Evaporation

Question 9

Least to most, how insulating?

Answer 9

Least) hair/fur, feathers, fat (Most

Question 10

Vasoconstriction vs vasodilation

Answer 10

Con: flow decreases, decreased heat loss
Dila: flow increases, increased heat loss
