Are lizards always "cold-blooded?" correct answers No, they move amongst microhabitats to keep their body temperature around the same level. What is the TNZ? Who has one? correct answers TNZ stands for thermal neutral zone. It is the temperature range in which the resting metabolic rate equals the basal metabolic rate. Endotherms have one. Is the metabolic rate of a mouse greater than that of an elephant? correct answers The metabolic rate of the mouse compared to its mass is much larger...

Acclimatization - Short-term, reversible adjustment to lessen the effect of an environmental change and associated stress. Can be physiological, morphological, or behavioral Adaptation - Any heritable trait (genetic) that enhances the survival and reproduction of an organism under a given set of environmental conditions. Can be physiological, morphological, or behavioral Aquatic Biological Zones - Precipitation is less important and temperatures fluctuate much less seasonally. Not based on...

Arizona State University BIO 100 (Oberlin) Exam 3 Study Guide Rated A+ Compare and contrast the use of positive and negative feedback mechanisms in maintaining homeostasis. Illustrate these concepts with: • The regulation of blood glucose levels • The release of platelets to form blood clots. Negative feedback counteracts changes to maintain stability.
