Document Summary
1/17/2012 4:49:00 pm: science; the use of evidence to construct testable explanations and predictions of natural phenomena, as well as the knowledge generated through this process. It originates in questions about the natural world: avg. body temp is 37 c, 1 atm. The highest, for aquatic animals, is 132 c: cell/body temps range from -2 c to 132 c. the pressures range from 1 to 1100 atm. Conditions at the average depth of the ocean are 2 c to 4 c and 380 atm. of pressure: antarctic fish; body temps of -2 c. However, tuna can raise their body temp as much as 15 c. Sharks and swordfish are also endotherms: piezophiles are bacteria that live in area of high pressure and this is where they thrive, thermophiles exist in high temperatures. Exist at 132 c, but grow well at 122 c: sharks live with molar urea in their tissues.
