Ectotherms typically have lower metabolic rates than endotherms, which means they generally require less oxygen. However, some ectotherms, like fast-moving lizards or snakes, may require more oxygen due to their activity levels. Overall, the relationship between oxygen requirements and thermoregulation strategy can vary among different species.

How is endothermy advantageous to humans?
Endotherms can use metabolic heat to regulate their body temperature. In a cold environment an endotherms high metabolic rate can generate enough heat to keep its body substantially warmer than its surroundings. We as humans are endotherms, and are able to maintain a high and very stable ingternal temperature. This is a huge advantage over ectotherms because they must gain most of their heat from the environment. Remember it is the source of heat that classify an animal endotherm or ectotherm. Mammals, birds, and some reptile and fish are endotherms. So, a couple of important advantages of being endotherms is the ability to generate a lot of heat metabolically, and able to adapt to biochemical and physiological adaptations like an elaborate circulatory and respiratory system that enable endotherms to perform vigorous activities for a longer period of time. Gennerally though endotherms need to consume more food than ectotherms to maintain their metabolic rate.
Is it true of false that the more oxygen you need the more slowly you breath?
False. When your body requires more oxygen, you tend to breathe faster in order to increase oxygen intake and remove carbon dioxide more efficiently. This helps to meet the increased demands of your body during exercise or other activities that require high levels of oxygen.
Do you need more oxygen at 4000 feet than at sea level?
Yes, you do need more oxygen at higher altitudes like 4000 feet because the air pressure is lower, which means there is less oxygen available per breath. This can lead to symptoms of hypoxia if your body doesn't adjust properly to the lower oxygen levels.
Why do you need more oxygen at lower temperatures?
At lower temperatures, your body needs to work harder to maintain its core temperature, leading to increased oxygen consumption. The colder air also tends to be denser, resulting in less oxygen per breath compared to warmer temperatures. Thus, you may feel like you need more oxygen when breathing in colder conditions.
Why do patients get oxygen in a can and not from the air?
Air only has about 20% oxygen, almost all of the rest is nitrogen. An oxygen tank has 100% oxygen and is used in some cases for breathing sicknesses. These patients don't need 100% oxygen, but just a bit more that is mixed with normal air when they breath in.
Which of the following is an advantage that ectotherms have over endotherms of the same size?
Advantage: do not need to spend a lot of energy in maintaining its own body temperature like endotherms.
An ectotherm is more likely to survive an extended period of food deprivation than would an equally-sized endotherm because?
Ectotherms are cold-blooded, which means they invest less energy than endotherms do to regulate body temperature. They can save their energy, so they don't have to eat as much, or as soon, in order to get energy.
Is it true that the more oxygen you need the more slowly you breathe?
False, the more oxygen you need the faster you will breathe.
Why do you breath very quickly after exercise?
Because when you work your muscles they need more oxygen, and to get more oxygen you need to breathe more often.
Why does a pond with more oxygen have more fish?
bcuz fishes need oxygen to survie in their wild p:
Reptiles are ectotherm creatures whist birds are endotherm creatures How would this affect the feeding habits of reptiles and birds?
Cladistically/evolutionarily speaking.... Birds are a type of reptile (they even have scales on their feet, and feathers are modified scales). Crocs have a 4 chambered heart (and are archosaurs like birds), and likely evolved from warm blooded ancestors - they are secondarily cold blooded. But overlooking the faults in the question, cold blooded reptiles will not need to eat as often as the warm blooded reptiles (of which birds are the only surviving ground of warm blooded reptiles) **An answer, that would most likely be used on a test, would be that endotherms are capable of producing their own heat, while ecotherms cannot. This would mean that ectotherms would most like feed during the day, when the sun is out to warm them up and give them energy and rest at night when they would be slower and either less capable of getting food or more capable of being eaten. Endotherms produce their own heat and, therefore, not reliant on the sun for warmth.
Why does heart rate increases?
because you need more oxygen to be delivered to the muscle and more waste to the lungs. when you are exercising your muscles need oxygen so the blood stars pumping faster to get the oxygen to the muscles.
How do mammals control their body temperature you need this before the 26th octber 2008?
There endotherms they burn food to stay warm
When you do exercise do your bodies need more or less oxygen?
your body needs more oxygen to keep the heart going at a more steady pace.
What does your heart do when you need more oxygen?
beats faster

Do you need air to have a fire?
Yes you need air. Or more correctly oxygen.
