Cells cannot remain alive outside certain limits of temperature, and much narrower limits mark the boundaries of effective functioning. Enzyme(酶)systems of mammals and birds are most efficient only within a narrow range around 37 °C; a departure of a few degrees from this value seriously impairs their functioning. Even though cells can survive wider fluctuations, the integrated actions of bodily systems are impaired. Other animals have a wider tolerance for changes of bodily temperature.
For centuries it has been recognized that mammals and birds differ form other animals in the way they regulate body temperatures. Ways of characterizing the difference have become more accurate and meaningful over time, but popular terminology still reflects the old division into warm blooded and cold blooded species; warm blooded include mammals and birds, whereas all over creatures were considered cold blooded. As more species were studied, it became evident that this classification was inadequate. A fence lizard or a desert iguana usually has a body temperature only a degree or two below than of humans and so is not cold. Therefore the next distinction was made between animas that maintain a constant body temperature, called homotherms(同温动物), and those whose body temperature varies with their environment, called poikilotherms(变温动物). But this classification also proved inadequate, because among mammals there are many that vary their body temperatures during hibernation. Furthermore, many invertebrates(无脊椎动物)that live in the depths of the ocean never experience a change in the chill of the deep water, and their body temperatures remain constant.
The current distinction is between animals whose body temperature is regulated chiefly by internal metabolic processes and those whose temperature is regulated by, and who get most of their heat from the environment. The former are called endotherms(恒温动物), and the latter are called ectotherms(外温动物). Most ectotherms do regulate their body temperature, and they do so mainly by locomoting to favorable sites or by changing their exposure to external sources of heat. Endotherms(mainly mammals and birds)also regulate their temperature by choosing favorable environment, but primarily they regulate their temperatures by making a variety of internal adjustments.
According to the passage, the chief way in which ectotherms regulate their temperatur is by______.
选项
A、seeking out appropriate locations
B、hibernating part of the year
C、staying in deep water
D、triggering certain metabolic processes
答案
A
解析
细节题。答案见第三段中的这句:They do so mainly by locomoting to favorable sites or by changing their exposure to external sources of heat.从中可以看出答案为A。
