Question

How does temperature affect distribution of animals? Name two types based on their temperature tolerance.

Answer 1

Answer:

Temperature is a factor that influences species distribution because organisms must either maintain a specific internal temperature or inhabit an environment that will keep the body within a temperature range that supports their metabolism.

Answer 2

Individual animals of the same species tend to be smaller in hotter habitats and larger in cooler ones, according to scientists.

What influence does temperature have on plants and animals?

• Climate change also affects plant and animal life cycles.
• As temperatures rise, many plants, for example, begin to develop and bloom earlier in the spring and survive longer into the fall.
• Some animals are waking up earlier from hibernation or migrating at various times.
• Increased body temperature or heat stress will reduce livestock productivity and impair their capacity to operate normally.
• Moving animals during cooler hours can help to mitigate the effects of high temperatures on production performance.
• Temperature determines species distribution because organisms must either maintain a specific internal temperature or live in an environment that maintains the body within a temperature range that supports their metabolism.
• Many animals control their body temperature by huddling together for warmth or seeking light or shade.
• Endotherms can use shivering and non-shivering thermogenesis to change their metabolic heat output to maintain body temperature.
