Outcomes: Thermoregulation 3Predict the effect of varying environmental temperatures on an organism's behavioral or metabolic responses including: A) enzyme activity B) locomotion C) body temperature, Thermoregulation 4Interpret data/graphs as they relate to the effect of varying environmental temperatures on an organism's behavioral or metabolic responses including: enzyme activity
locomotion
body temperature
, Thermoregulation 6Explain how various temperature regulation methods serve to heat or cool an organism including: A) avoidance B) altering metabolic rate C) behaviorally adjusting posture, ratio of surface area-to-volume, and location D) explain how ratio of surface area-to-volume is involved in heat retention or loss; Osmoregulation 1Explain why organisms osmoregulate., Osmoregulation 2For different habitats (ocean, freshwater, on land, etc.), predict whether ions or water need to be conserved., Osmoregulation 3Describe how organisms osmoregulate in different habitats, on the: A) cellular level, using active and passive transport across membranes B) individual organism level, in terms of inputs and outputs, Osmoregulation 4Compare and contrast how organisms osmoregulate in different habitats.
Prerequisite Outcomes: Thermoregulation 1Apply the terms endotherm, ectotherm, poikilotherm/heterotherm, and homeotherm to organisms, Thermoregulation 2Identify organisms as endotherms, ectotherms, poikilotherms/heterotherms, and homeotherms based on: A) physical characteristics B) behavior C) metabolic changes D) membership in taxonomic groups (birds, mammals, etc.) E) changes in body temperature measurements; Membrane Transport 3Define the following terms, and explain how they relate to the movement of materials across a membrane: A) Isotonic B) Hypotonic C) Hypertonic
- This worksheet uses graphs and tables to compare and contrast different thermoregulatory strategies to one another, and different osmoregulatory strategies to one another.
