Chapter 10: Physiological adaptations for survival
Page no.
Title
Summary/ main concepts
298-299
Water balance in the tarrkawarra
Med.- You should be able to read about any species and break down their adaptations in this way
299-301
External and internal environments
Med- Homeostasis is a major concept to understand in this unit
301- 308
Nerves and hormones: detecting and responding to change
Long: I expect that you supplement this with material covered in class.
Learn the systems . Label a nerve cell (fig. 10.5). how are touch receptors distributed? How does nervous system and endocrine system work together?
Negative feedback systems
309
Detecting temperature change
Long
310-313
Maintaining core temperature
Long-
- conduction, convection, radiation, evaporation
-ways of gaining and loosing heat
-negative feedback system
313-317
Behavioural activities
Long:
-Ectothermic V endothermic
-SA:V
-predict animal size in different environments
317-320
Animals surviving on land
Med- adaptations for hot/ cold environments
321-322
Animals surviving in water
Med- adaptations of marine animals for cold (include zoo info here)
322-325
Plant responses to temperature change
Med-
Adaptations of plant/ leaf shape, stomata, root system, transpiration, movement
325- 330
Water balance in living organisms
Long- include work from in class here- negative feedback of endocrine system, kidney function, comparison between types of organisms
330-335
Water balance in plants
Long- main concepts are transpiration and adaptations to reduce transpiration (leaf orientation, sunken stomata)
