5 Questions
Which of the following tissue types is responsible for contraction and movement?
Muscle
Which of the following is a way in which animals can achieve thermoregulation?
Hibernation
Which physiological state enables animals to save energy and adapt to difficult conditions?
Torpor
Which of the following systems releases gradual signaling molecules?
Endocrine
Which type of organism has most of its cells in direct contact with the environment?
Flat
Study Notes
- Animal cells require exchange of materials across plasma membranes.
- Multicellular organization requires access to suitable aqueous environment.
- Saclike body plans allow for diffusion with two cell thick walls.
- Flat organisms have most cells in direct contact with environment.
- Tissue types include epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.
- Endocrine system releases gradual signaling molecules, while nervous system transmits information for immediate change.
- Animals can be regulators or conformers in response to external changes.
- Thermoregulation can be achieved through insulation, circulatory adaptations, evaporative heat loss, behavioral responses, and metabolic processes.
- Autotrophs harness light energy, while heterotrophs must eat.
- Torpor is a physiological state of decreased activity and metabolism that enables animals to save energy and adapt to difficult conditions, including hibernation.
