This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: General Heat Equation, rely on "internal biochemistry" (metabolism: cellular aerobic respiration) to provide heat (possess Hm) for example occasional plant: skunk cabbage, Hs (Heat stored in body) for which there exists 2 classes of "temperature regulators", rely on "internal biochemistry" (metabolism: cellular aerobic respiration) to provide heat (possess Hm) for example animals: birds & mammals See Animal Heat Equation CMap (Endothermic Animals), there exists 2 classes of "temperature regulators" including temperature regulators, Hs (Heat stored in body) = (equals sum of) Hm (metabolism) (cellular aerobic respiration) (endothermic organisms only), Hcv (convection) (wind / water) +/- (plus or minus) Hr (radiation) (+ from sun; - to sky when no wind), few "other animals" including bumblebees & some moths! heat flight muscles (to fly when cold!), Hm (metabolism) (cellular aerobic respiration) (endothermic organisms only) +/- (plus or minus) Hcd (conduction) (touching objects), Hcd (conduction) (touching objects) +/- (plus or minus) Hcv (convection) (wind / water), rely on external sources of heat (sun) for regulating body temperature (lack Hm) for example animals: some fish; amphibians; & reptiles See Animal Heat Equation CMap (Ectothermic Animals), a body temperature that varies with environmental conditions (lack Hm) including most invertebrates, rely on external sources of heat (sun) for regulating body temperature (lack Hm) for example Plants: See Plant Heat Equation CMap (Desert vs. Arctic Plants), temperature regulators classified according to source of heat Ectotherms (not Homeotherms), a body temperature that varies with environmental conditions (lack Hm) including some fish, Endotherms (are Homeothermic) which rely on "internal biochemistry" (metabolism: cellular aerobic respiration) to provide heat (possess Hm), Hr (radiation) (+ from sun; - to sky when no wind) - (minus only) He (evaporation) (loss only), Ectotherms (not Homeotherms) which rely on external sources of heat (sun) for regulating body temperature (lack Hm), few "other animals" including fish (tuna; some shark): heat specific body parts, temperature regulators classified according to source of heat Endotherms (are Homeothermic), Hr (radiation) (+ from sun; - to sky when no wind) always flows along heat gradient from warmer object to cooler object
