Document Summary
Final exam review biol*1070: choose the best example of acclimatization, arctic char have a higher swimming speed at 8 c relative to 4 c. This is a statement: arctic mammals such as the arctic fox have a countercurrent thermal exchange system in their limbs to inhibit heat loss from the paws in contact with snow or ice. This would be an adaptation over many generations: arctic ground squirrels have a high surface area : volume ratio and lose heat faster in cold ambient temperatures relative to larger mammals. This does not explain anything about a ground squirrel having a greater advantage in climate change due to acclimatization: animals gain and lose heat by, evaporation, convection, conduction, and radiation. Losing heat, gaining heat, gaining heat, gaining heat: evaporation, convection, catabolism, conduction, and radiation. Losing heat, gaining heat, not a method, gaining heat, gaining heat: evaporation, vaporization, convection, and radiation.
