Question
Chapter 32.3, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To write:
Whether all animals have the equivalent set points for homeostatic variables, should be analysed.
Introduction:
When an organism stabilizes its body temperature and the constant internal environment, during the change in the outer environment, it is known as homeostasis. Homeostasis occurs with the involvement of the negative feedback loop that responds to changes of various properties from their target values or setpoints.

- Why is the concept of homeostasis meaningful in the study of human biology?arrow_forwardWhat occurs as body size increases in animals ? there is a decrease in the surface-to-volume ratio. reproduction becomes limited to terrestrial environments. there is greater variability in metabolic rate. migration to tropical areas becomes necessary for thermoregulation. it becomes more difficult to conserve body warmth in cold environments.arrow_forwardWhat are different ways animals adapt to their environment?arrow_forward

Organization / Definite Organizationarrow_forwardAnimals have evolved a range of strategies to successfully respond to threats and challenges. One of these strategies is the ability to learn. As we discussed, not every animal can learn and there are clear costs and benefits to this strategy. Suggest one benefit of the ability to learn and one potential cost. Briefly explain each. (1-2 sentences for each) Since learning is not universal, under which circumstances would it be most likely be a successful strategy? We discussed a framework that examines the influence of predictability on the success of learning ability. Describe this framework. Make sure you discuss all the available conditions and clearly state under which we would expect learning to be successful and where we would not expect it to be successful. What would be an alternative strategy to regulate behaviour when learning is not suitable? Briefly explain your choice. (2-3 sentences)arrow_forward
- What does the utilitarianism say about animals?arrow_forwardNot all animals have organ systems or even organs. What are the advantages to having specific tissues, organs, and organ systems?arrow_forwardEvery extant animal has had to adapt to its environment in some ways over many generations. Think about an animal, its physiological features, and its environmental challenges. describe what features have likely had to adapt to its environment over time, and hypothesize what ways it might have to adapt to environmental changes in the futurearrow_forward
