| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Adaption | generational change based on genetics |
| Acclimatization | individual change due to envirinmental change Type of pheontypic plasticity |
| Homeostasis | constancy maintained in the presence of change NOt just external constancy is costly but less change reduces cost |
| Reactive vs. Proactive homeostasis | feedback vs. feedforward |
| Time Frames (externally Dictated) | Externally Dictated Acute, Chronic (days/weeks), Evolutionary(adaption) |
| Internally dictated time frames | often have external cues and/or resets developmental(not the same for developing org. vs. older organism) i.e. Caterpillar--> butterfly Programmed changes inside of an organism periodical changes via. biological clocks |
| Abiotic Environmental contributions | Non-living, temperature, water, oxygen, nutrients |
| BIotic environmental Contributions | Living! Predation, habitat |
| Self environmental contributions | if multicellular |
| Environmental alterations, Microenvironment | Organisms living ungerground rely on snow cover for warmth |
| Environmental Alterations, self-altered | Organism plays on environment to limit change |
| Most Influental Environment Factor: Temperature | Conformers: aquatic are active from -2, to 52C. Terrestrial inactive below 0C, can be frozen or supercooled, -90 C= lowest amt. found to go to and survuive Non-conformers/ regulators: similar upper limits, active below terrestrial lower limits |
| Most Influental Environment Factor: Oxygen (relitavely new earth component, 2-3 byo) | Benefits: Primary component for metabolic energy. Needed to counteract H+ build-up. Terrestrial: 21% O2, but increased alt. decreases pressure Aquatic: max. of 3-5% of sea level air, breathe air attatch H+ to another |
| Most Influental Environment Factor: Water | Salinity: origin in salt water, As salinity decreases water flow is affected Terrestrial: Stradle the barrier of land and water; prevent desiccation by submersion or drinking. Protect against evaporation, but blocks more than just water. |
| Types of membranes | Cell (aka plasma) & intracellular |
| fluid mosaic model | Covalent bonds allow components to move constantly |
| T & tails component: | POlar outsied and non-polar inside, kinds and types of tails decide fluidity |
