Document Summary
Brown fat"s mitochondria"s active ingredient is thermogenin which has 10 times the: hibernaculum = the den, lemmings will burrow under snow blankets over the winter and reproduce in the snowy timeframe. Conformers = allow internal environments to follow external changes linear relationship on graph. You can be a conformer for some aspects (ie. ion [ ]) but not for others (ie. You can be a conformer for some aspects (ie. ion [ ]) but not for others (ie. t. ) Heterothermy = endothermic at certain times on in certain tissues but not at all times or in all tissues ie. hibernation. Some fish may be 10 c warmer in some body tissues than their environment, like the tuna or swordfish. Done so they can swim faster (higher t. = faster fish) Do it by using countercurrents in veins and arteries that are lined up really close to each other this somehow keeps a warm core and warm muscles.
