I need help with my science homework?

Question

I have this Science homework where you need to fill out a chart with the 6 common needs. Is a panda bear ectothermic, endothermic, or homeostasis? How can a palm tree get food? thanx 4 ur time - xoxoxo

Answer 1

A panda bear is a mammal. So, it's warm-blooded, which can also be phrased as "endothermic." Also, a panda maintains homeostasis, which basically means, in simple terms, the ability to maintain certain temperatures through physiological processes.

A palm tree gets food through photosynthesis.

Answer 2

umm well, iuno if you're teacher is dumb or you're typing it wrong.. or I just remembered wrong from ap bio...

but from what I remembered...

endothermic animals also use homeostasis...

endothermic animals are basically animals taht do not physically control their body temperature, and so, they maintain a constant temperature inside their body, which is homeostasis..

ectothermic animals are said to be "cold blooded" because they physcially regulate their body temperature by moving from around and being in the sun...


and a palm tree, I believe, is photosynthetic... they make their own food... all they need is water, sunlight, and a few types of minerals from the soil, like phosphate and stuff ...

Answer 3

A panda is an example of a homeostatic animal like us; this means that its internal chemistry and organs maintain a steady body temperature. If it is too hot it will sweat, raise its fur loosely and loose heat, if it is cold it will shiver, close down its sweat glands raise its hair in a way that traps air as an insulator in order to retain heat inside its body.

Ectothermic relates to cold blooded animals eg Lizards where they obtain most of their body temperature from external sources e.g. sunlight. They can not opperate effectivly in cold conditions

Do Not confuse with Endothermic which is the opposite of Exothermic in that it is a reaction that consumes heat energy from the surrounding atmosphere or environment.

Exothermic, particularly in a chemical reaction means that it generates and releases heat energy.

Palm trees get food by absorbing, by osmosis in the roots and rootlets, inorganic nutrients from the soil, transferring them via their phloem system to the fronds. In the pillar cells of the fronds chloroplasts, using energy supplied from sunlight and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere entering through the stoma on the frond underside, convert the nutrients into organic carbohydrates, oils and cellulosic materials that go to build the plant.

As to your six common needs, I am not sure of the context but

Water
Food
Shelter
Warmth
Protection
Mates

is the usual higharchy of animal, including human, common needs in ascending order.

Answer 4

panda bears give off heat exo-thermic but they maintain homeostasis which the bodies natural state. a palm tree getss good aka water and sunlight from roots in the ground or from rain, and sunlight from uh, the sun. if anything else try Wikipedia.com

Answer 5

A panda bear is endothermic, because he produces his body heat from within (unlike reptiles, which need to get warmed up by the sun).

Answer 6

So, go to a search engine & look up hte answers!
Any livign being w/ attempt to maintain homeostatsis. All plants get food thru their roots, it comes along w/ the water (which htey asparate thru the leaves)

Answer 7

Well let me just whip out the ole McDougal Littell Earth Science book i have in my closet o wait, most people answering this don't have your textbook the questions would be nice

Answer 8

all trees get food through the roots that are in the soild which provide water to carry out photosynthesis and somewhere in that process the tree gets food.

Answer 9

Panda - endothermic I think (endo gives off heat right?)

Plam trees get food from their roots (just like other plants)

Answer 10

its called read the article in the text or google it duhhh ur lazy the tree feeds through photosynsethis
