During the sleep cycle described as REM (rapid eye movement) we undergo poikilothermy, that is, we lose control of our body temperature. A condition associated with reptiles.

Is a fish ectothermic?
Fish exhibit a specific type of ectothermy called Poikilothermy in which the environment in which the organism is in direct contact determines the organism's temperature.
How does poikilotherm limit an organism?
Such animals can't live in very cold climate .
How many cells can organism have?
There isn't a strict limit. At some point an organism may become simply too large to maintain itself but the exact number of cells such an organism might have is incalculable.
How many cells does a multi-cellular organism have?
There isn't a strict limit. At some point an organism may become simply too large to maintain itself but the exact number of cells such an organism might have is incalculable.
What is an organism that may limit the growth rate of an organism?
Pathogens such as a bacterium or a virus can influence the growth rate of the host organism. Virus (not really an organism) can infect a bacterium and integrate their genetic material. This changes the homeostasis of the bacteria, because viral proteins would be start producing by the host. hence the host can not grow as a normal organism after infection.
Why is a human a organism?
in a human body, there are division of labour. cells ,tissues, organ,and systems. human brain can think out of a limit.
How do spiders use the thermoregulation system?
Spiders, falling under the classification Arachnid, are cold-blooded. They use poikilothermy, meaning they simply change in body temperature matching the surroundings.
What are the affects of a mutation?
MutationA mutation produces an abnormal gene, which may limit, not effect, or enhance the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce. A mutation does not have any set effects on the organism, as the mutated gene may not change the appearance of the organism. Mutations of normal cells in an organism can cause cancer, as cancer is just normal cells that have been damaged in such a way as to grow out of control.
Can the genome of an organism be taken as a template for PCR?
No about 16,000 bases is about the limit that you can do for PCR so perhaps you could use an entire viral genome (or a cDNA copy) as a PCR template but not an entire genome of cellular organism even if you ignore the fact that a eukaryotic organism has it's genome spread over separate chromosomes.
What limits the size of single celled organisms?
Many of the structural factors that limit the size of a single-celled organism no longer apply to multicellular organisms, which can grow to enormous size.

How long do organisms multiply?
As long as conditions remain favourable or until the organism become sterile or until it dies. Nova net: Until they reach the limit of their possible food supply.
