Although nutritional factors are well known to influence the level of metabolism in ectotherms, comparatively few studies have taken this factor into account during thermal acclimation. Dehnel (1960) for example studied the effect of temperature and salinity on the oxygen consumption of Hemigrapsus ...

So an endotherm—"endo"meaning "internal"—an endotherm's body heat mainly comes from inside its body.It can generate its own heat internally with its metabolism.And an ectotherm—"ecto" meaning "external"—an ectotherm gets its body heat mainly from outside its own body. Meaning, from ...
Therm- that means heat, and the main thing that distinguishes endotherms from ectotherms is the source of body heat. So an endotherm, endo- meaning internal, an endotherm's body heat mainly comes from inside its body. It can generate its own heat internally with its metabolism. ...
FEMALE PROFESSOR: Right, and this really slows down its metabolism, which depends on temperature. Even that 20 degrees drop in body temperature though, the lizard can survive that no problem, and come out just fine when it warms up again. Ectotherms can do that.MALE STUDENT: But an ect...
Freezing/thawing stress can be ameliorated by invoking mechanisms of anoxia tolerance, depressing metabolism, and accumulating one or more cryoprotectants, either in anticipation of or during freezing. Cryoprotectants used in freezing adaptation include a host of sugars and sugar alcohols, amino acids, ...
Lag between individuals implies that different temperatures can be experienced during a specific development event, which has long-lasting consequences on future development and metabolism29,30. We hypothesize that taking into account thermal POL strategies in development rate models would improve ...
What are some examples of animals with high metabolism? What are the examples of a carnivorous and a herbivorous reptile? What is an organism that is predator and prey to the same animal? Which group of mammals is the most similar to reptiles? a. marsupial b. monotreme c. placental d. ...
Growth in the slow lane: Protein metabolism in the Antarctic limpet Nacella concinna (Strebel 1908) Growth rates in Antarctic ectotherms are generally considered to be low in comparison to temperate and tropical species. Food consumption plays a major rol... KPP Fraser,A Clarke,LS Peck - 《Jo...
Previous research has shown ectotherms to have markedly lower sodium pump metabolism than endotherms. Direct measurement of enzymatic activity of the sodium pump (Na(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase) confirmed this difference. To determine the source of this difference, sodium pump density was measured...
