1. Thermal biology is critical for determining where species live, how they deal with extremes in temperature, etc. Answer the following questions relating to thermal biology.
a. Provide the Heat Flux equation by defining the x’s in the equation: HTotal = H + Hx+ Hx+ Hx+ Hx
b.Address how poikilotherms acclimate to changing temperature for the following two parameters:
i. Membrane fluidity:
ii. Protein Function (4 pts):
iii. Membranes have approximately the same level of fluidity regardless if the animal is from the arctic, temperate, or equatorial regions: Circle one
a.True
b. False
b. Membrane fluidity is nothing but the chaging/altering the lipid head group attached to proteins
Poikilotherms present in the cold area have increased lipids in the membrane and vice versa
protein function
Protein in the membrane hold the lipid and help to alter it's head
They are useful in signalling reaction
They helpful in proper seperation of membrane during cell division
They are transversely spreaded
iii. False
