背景情况:
- 两动物的多样性在热带地区是最高的,但有些物种居住在更寒冷的气候.
- 温带和高度地区的两动物面临零度以下的温度,需要适应结生存.
- 虽然高度物种的冷耐受性是已知的,但中度两动物的适应性不太了解.
研究的目的:
- 研究三种伊比利亚青物种对冷的生理适应.
- 检查尿素和葡萄糖积累作为冷保护机制的作用.
- 将结反应与高度两动物的反应进行比较.
主要方法:

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress
13.5K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss
25.5K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

Requirements for Human Life

The Earth and its atmosphere have provided humans with air, water, and food, but these are not the only requirements for survival. Humans also require a specific range of temperature and pressure that the Earth and its atmosphere provides.

Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...

Comparative Excretory Systems

Animals have evolved different strategies for excretion, the removal of waste from the body. Most waste must be dissolved in water to be excreted, so an animal’s excretory strategy directly affects its water balance.
