Document Summary

Temperature tolerance, and adaptation vs acclimation: how animals deal with temperature, how animals deal with temperature, how the amount of water vapor in air is measured, expressed, water moves down a gradient, water budgets for aquatic animals. Freshwater first that are hypoosmotic need to get rid of water through urine and use gill to uptake solute (freshwater actively trying to get more salt), salt water wants to get less salt. How terrestrial animals get water: mainly by drinking, and through food (c6h12o6 +6o2 6co2 + 6 h2o. Some animal can break down sugar and get water. Terrestrial animal adaptations to conserve water: thick waxy cuticle. Concentrated urine, less water loss, make the feces harder: behavior adaptation: animals living in the burrows. The main avenue of water acquisition by most terrestrial animal is with food and drinking (wdwf) Loss of water by terrestrial is through evaporation (we) Plant lose water mainly through transpiration (evaporation and diffusion of water) (wt)
