环境生态学温度与代谢.pptxVIP

E1 温度与代谢;恒温动物;Ectotherms are organisms such as plants, reptiles and protista which are largely reliant on external sources of heat to raise their body temperature.endotherms are organisms capable of generating heat internally in order to raise their body temperature. Birds and mammals make up this group. The thermoneutral zone is the range of enmironmental temperatures in which an endotherm has only to exert a minimum metabolic effort in order to maintain a constant body temperature. The further away from the thermoneutral zone that the environmental temperature moves, the more energy the end
