Ectoterm dan Endoterm

Ectothermic animals
Ectothermic animals are animals that are very dependent on the temperature in the external environment to increase its body temperature due to the heat generated from the whole system of metabolism only slightly.
Ektoterm animals, a group of animals whose body heat depending on the heat from the outside of the body, namely the environment. Power regulator for temperature is very limited and its body temperature varies with the temperature of the environment. This causes poikilotherm animals have a low tolerance range, in the sense that this animal narrow niche subject. When the ambient temperature is high, beyond the limits tolerance, ektoterm animals will die while when the ambient temperature is lower than the optimum temperature, activity was low and the animal becomes very slow, making it easy for predators to catch.
Power set in animals ektoterm and not of physiological adaptation but rather in the form of behavioral adaptation. For example, moves to the shade when it gets too hot and sunbathe when the temperature colder. Among the temperature is too low and a high terlau, ektoterm animal metabolism rate increases as the temperature increases in an exponential relationship. Examples of animals belonging ektoterm namely salmon (22 oC), fish saumon (18 ° C), crapaud bufo Boreas (27 ° C), alligator (crocodile) (32-35 ° C), iguana 38 oC), lezard anolois sp (30 - 33 oC), and the house fly larvae (30-37 ° C).
Endothermic Animal
Endothermic animals, animal body temperature is derived from the production of heat in the body, which is a byproduct of the metabolism of tissues.
Endothermic animals is a group of animals that can regulate the production of heat from the body to make constant or increase body temperature, because it has set up a high power. Endothermic animals have a tolerance range of the environment that is longer than animals ektoterm so niche animal staple length of this type. It is influenced by the ability to regulate the production and release its heat.
endothermic animals have organs as the center of their regulators, namely the brain, especially the hypothalamus as a thermostat or central regulator of body temperature. Constant temperature to body endothermic animals are usually contained between 35-40 degrees Celsius. The example are Aves and Mammals.

  1. Sangat baik sekali penjelasannya ais
    tapi saya mau tanya pada hewan endoterm saat suhu dari lingkungan meningkat mengapa konsumsi oksigen menurun?
