Which of the following are examples of mechanisms by which ectotherms regulate body temperature? Select all that apply.
a. Moving to areas with lower temperature
b. Spending time in the sun.
c. Activate metabolism to increase temperature.
d. Orient the body towards heat sources to warm up.
--------------------------
2. Many hormones affect homeostasis and often there are two hormones with opposite effects. What is the advantage of having two hormones with opposite function? (pick one)
a. homeostasis often requires two seperate echanisms with opposing effects to keep set parameters.
b. Having two seperate hormones allows homeostasis to have redundant loops, providing multiple paths to the same outcome.
c. The two hormones can work simultaneously and only the stronger one will ultimately have an effect.
