Homeostasis: Animal Form and Function
Learning Targets I can apply the significance of surface area to volume ratio when explaining different animal internal exchange surfaces. I can explain how interactions and coordination between organs and organ systems provide essential biological activities I can describe both positive and negative feedback, provide one example of each kind, and explain which type of feedback helps to maintain homeostasis. I can explain different homeostatic strategies for thermoregulation seen in animals. I can explain what metabolic rate is and how it influenced by the following: size of animal energy budget of the animal
Positive and Negative Feedback: What is the difference?
Which type of feedback provides homeostasis?
