Physiology the study of organism structure and function, including homeostasis and encompassing cells, tissues, organs, and body systems. Why be concerned about climate change: biological impacts (e. g. biodiversity changes, disease, migration, political and economic impacts (e. g. arctic sovereignty, natural resources, environmental policy, aesthetics (e. g. landscapes, tourism, cultural changes (e. g. traditional hunting practices) How temperature changes impact organisms at different levels of organization. Ph change, carrying capacity, food availability, how which ice caps are melting and the melting rates, species invasions with having to migrate to warmer areas. Arctic plants and animals have lived in the arctic ecosystem for thousands of years. They must cope with temperature change on many different time scales: Must consider different time scales when wondering how climate change will impact organisms. Ectotherm: an animal that is dependent on external sources of body heat. Endotherm: an animal that is dependent on or capable of the internal generation of heat; a warm-blooded animal.
