Endotherms - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

MBE 307 Exam 2 Qestions And Answers 2024/2025 What is the difference between ectotherms/poikilotherms and endotherms? - ANS-Ecotherms' body temperatures are influenced by the ambient temperature (some poikilotherms can regulate temperature) whereas endotherms are warmed by metabolic heat (homeotherms regulate by physiological means). How do moths and bees exhibit heterothermy? - ANS-Moths and bees must warm their muscles first through shivering and muscle contractions in order to fly,...

Agonist - Competitive inhibition, binds to active site and causes a signal response in receptive tissue. Antagonist (blocker) - Competitive inhibitor, binds to active site so signal molecules cannot bind but causes no response in receptive tissue, can bind and release eventually. Apply your understanding of channels and synapses to predict how various neurotoxins affect nervous function. - Neurotoxins block receptor proteins on the post-synaptic neuron. Example: tetrodotoxin form Fugu fish...
