Animal Thermoregulation starts at 8 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Animal Thermoregulation.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 9
A lizard is seen moving between sun and shade throughout the day. What type of thermoregulation is this an example of?
Describe how countercurrent heat exchange works in animals like penguins.
Describe how sweating helps regulate body temperature.
Describe how vasodilation helps cool the body.
Describe one behavioral adaptation that helps animals regulate their body temperature.
Explain why reptiles are often seen basking on rocks in the morning.
Explain why shivering is an effective way to generate heat.
Explain why some animals huddle together in cold environments.
Explain why sweating is less effective in humid environments.
What is thermoregulation in animals?
A scientist observes two mammals of different sizes in a cold environment. The smaller mammal loses heat more quickly than the larger one. Explain why this occurs, relating your answer to surface area to volume ratio.
Describe how the process of estivation helps animals survive extreme heat and drought.
Explain how torpor differs from hibernation in terms of duration and physiological changes in animals.
Explain why aquatic mammals, such as whales and seals, have a thick layer of blubber and how it aids in thermoregulation.
