Question:

Name some temperature adaptations

Author: Asger LIndberg-Nielsen



Answer:

Sculptering - increase surfacearea and loose heat. Colour – light colours will reflect more heat. Body size – the bigger you are the lower volume. Controlled evaporation (barnecles have porotios pores). The cooling of the evaporation is extented – its like and aircondition. Minimal contact to substarte with for instance mucus. Gigantism – very large organisms because of cold. Lower metabolism – live longer on they grow more
