Stage INPUT OUTPUT Where?BIOL 1114 1st EditionExam # 1 Study Guide Lecture: 1 – 8KEY TERMS: - THERMOREGULATION Heat transfer mechanisms taught:Conduction—transfer of energy (often heat) directly by contact from one object to anotherConvection—transfer of heat energy by mass movement of a fluid (gas or liquid) e.g. effects of water and wind on animal temperature; What is the effect of fur or feathers on convection?Radiation—heat transfer between 2 objects in absence of direct contact (e.g. solar radiation)Evaporation—loss of water in the form of a vapor; Evaporation requires heat. Therefore heat is transferred from organism to its surroundings by evaporation.Countercurrent exchange—In an extreme environment, formation of a temperature gradient within an animal as a result of contact between venous and arterial bloodflow (see illustration below.)Vasoconstriction vs. vasodilation—what happens to peripheral blood vessels in each case?When does it happen?Gradient—rate of change in a variable (a substance or heat) with distance*thermal neutral zone (TNZ)—temperature range over which an endothermic organism (e.g. bird or mammal) can maintain its temperature without changing its metabolic rate; TNZ is bounded by lower critical temp. & upper critical temp. Identify all the underlined terms from above on this diagram: [ How can you measure “metabolic rate”? [Note: Ambient temp. = environmental temp.]Endotherms—organisms (e.g. mammals & birds) whose source of body heat is metabolism Ectotherms—organisms (e.g. reptiles, amphibians, insects) whose source of body heat is its surrounding environment (ambient temp.)Homeotherms vs Poikilotherms- describes the response of animal to the temperature of the environment. Homeotherms maintain a constant temperature; poikilotherms’ body temp. fluctuates with that of environmentOsmoregulation Urine production: How is urine concentrated in a nephron? What is the role of the nephron loops within the kidney? What adaptation in nephrons loops enables animals in dry environments to survive?Diffusion—movement of a substance from a region where it is highly concentrated to to an area where it is less concentrated without energy input . (Recall that the greater the number of molecules dissolved in a solution, the lower its water concentration.)Osmosis- is a special form of diffusion; How and where does it occur?Active Transport —movement of a substance from a region where it is less concentrated to an area where it is more highly concentrated; requires energy inputAs temperature increases, we can increase our surface area (S.A.) by stretching out which increases heat loss. Body volume, however, stays the same. As a result the total S.A. to Volume ratio increases. Humans use a similar behavioral mechanism in the cat shown above. During winter, if a person is cold they are likely to have a hunched appearance with arms held close to the body. As a result, surface area is decreased and we retain heat better. [S.A. to Volume ratio decreases.][ambient temp. = environmental temp.]Identify:1) the thermal neutral zone (TNZ)2) the critical lower point3) the critical upper pointIn which type of organism would this diagram accurately predict its metabolic rate?Describe at least 5 ways to measure “metabolic rate”.-- Conceptso A dependent variable is being_____1______ and is plotted on the _1_ axiso Independent variable is being _____2______ and is plotted on the _2_ axiso Controlled variables are _____3__in an experiment, and allows the manipulated experiment to be evident Observational (correlation)o Scientific Method: 1.
