All vertebrates need to live at the proper temperature. Animals have different ways to keep their body at the right temperature. Staying Warm An Endotherm is an animal that can use heat from chemical reactions in the body’s cells to maintain a constant body temperature. Birds and mammals are endotherms. These animals are sometimes called warmblooded. Chapter B3

A lung is a saclike organ that takes oxygen from the air and delivers it to the blood. Most of today’s amphibians are frogs or salamanders. Fossils have been found of amphibians that looked very different––like a cross between a fish and salamander and up to 10 m long. Chapter B3

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 Amphibians Characteristics of Amphibians Amphibian means”double life.” Most amphibians live part of their lives in water and part of their lives on land. Embryos must develop in water. The eggs do not have a shell or membrane that prevents water loss, so the eggs would dry up on land. Adults can live on land. Amphibians are ecotherms. Staying in water helps them maintain a stable temperature and stops water loss. Chapter B3

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 Amphibians Characteristics of Amphibians, continued Thin Skin Amphibian skin is thin, smooth, and moist. The skin is so thin that amphibians absorb water through it instead of drinking. Amphibians can also lose water through their skin and become dehydrated. Their thin skin is one reason amphibians live in water or damp habitats. Amphibians can breathe by gulping air. Many also absorb oxygen through their skin. Chapter B3

ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 Amphibians Characteristics of Amphibians, continued Leading a Double Life Most amphibians change form as they grow. A tadpole is an immature frog or toad that must live in the water. They have gills and tails like fishes. As a tadpole grows, it develops limbs and lungs and loses its tail and gills. This change from an immature form to an adult form is called metamorphosis. Chapter B3

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Standardized Test Preparation Passage 1 Only a few kinds of fishes are endotherms. These fishes depend on their environment for most of their body heat but can heat parts of their bodies by internal cell activity. Because they can produce heat within their bodies, endothermic fishes can hunt for prey in extremely chilly water. As a result, they face limited competition with other fishes because few species of fishes can live in cold areas. Yet endothermic fishes pay a high price for their ability to inhabit very cold areas. Continued on the next slide Chapter B3

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Standardized Test Preparation Passage 1, continued Producing heat by internal cell activity uses a lot of energy. For this reason, some fishes, such as swordfish, marlin, and sailfish, have adaptations that let the fishes heat only a few body parts. These fishes warm only their eyes and brain.

ResourcesChapter menu Standardized Test Preparation Passage 2 Fishes are quicker and much more maneuverable than most ships and submarines. So, why aren’t ships and submarines built more like fishes—with tails that flap back and forth? This question caught the attention of some scientists at MIT, and they decided to build a robot model of a bluefin tuna. This robot fish is 124 cm long. It contains six motors and has a skeleton made of aluminum ribs and hinges. These scientists think that if ships were designed more like the bodies of fishes, the ships would use much less energy than they currently use. If the new design does require less energy—and thus less fuel—the ships will save money. Chapter B3
