Temperature Basics Heat Transfer Thermal Strategies Thermal Tolerance

Heat transfer between animals and environment

What’s the difference between temperature & heat? 1 Calorie = energy required to raise 1g of water 1 o C How many calories to heat 1g water from 25 o C to 50 o C? = 25 calories How many calories to heat 100g water from 25 o C to 50 o C? = 2500 calories Measure of intensity of heat ( o C, o F, K) Total KE (calories or joules) Same temp, Different heat content

Body temperature depends on heat stored Heat production (metabolism) - Heat out + Heat in = Heat stored Gains > losses

“The Rules” 1.Heat flows from warmer cooler 2.Greater temperature gradient, greater flux 3.Physical properties matter 4 Mechanisms of heat transfer Conduction Conduction + Convection Radiation Evaporation

1. Conduction = heat transfer between bodies in direct physical contact temperature differential area of contact conductivity of materials

2. Convection - Accelerates heat transfer between a solid and a fluid = bulk movement of fluid Why? Hot object CONDUCTION ONLY Hot object CONDUCTION AND CONVECTION Boundary Layer is Removed

2. Convection …All fluids come to rest at a solid surface Size of boundary layer is influenced by: size (and shape) of animal Thicker boundary layer, less heat loss to conduction Fluid speed Distance from solid surface 0 fluid speed (air, H 2 O) surface roughness Air reaches full speed = “boundary layer”

3. Radiation = transfer of heat between objects without contact Short wavelengths Long wavelengths Above absolute zero, all objects emit & receive radiation ∞ -intensity T4T4 -hotter surface, shorter wavelengths Area of radiative surface is, too Surface temperature is important:

4. 35 o C, it takes 580 cal to vaporize 1g of H 2 O! exposure of moist surfaces moisture gradient =Extremely effective method of losing heat

4. Evaporation exposure of moist surfaces moisture gradient =Extremely effective method of losing 35 o C, it takes 580 cal to vaporize 1g of H 2 O!

Infrared thermal radiation from lizard Infrared thermal radiation from rock Direct sunlight Conduction from rock Convection by wind Evaporation Infrared thermal radiation from atmosphere Heat flux from different sources is additive

Temperature Basics Heat Transfer –Conduction –Convection –Radiation –Evaporation Thermal Strategies Thermal Tolerance

Thermal Strategies Ectotherms: a body temperature principally dependent on external heat sources Endotherms: a body temperature principally dependent on internally generated metabolic heat Homeotherms: body temperature kept constant Poikilotherms: body temperature varies

Membrane Dynamics What are the kinks?

Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid (Omega 6)

Temperature also has major effects on cell membrane fluidity If you live in hot climate, what sort of fatty acids should you have? If you live in cold climate, what sort of fatty acids should you have?

Diet very high in unsaturated fats Common Shingleback Cage Floor temperature Normal Diet

Temperature Performance Thermal performance curves: Preferred Body Temp Environmental Temperature shift? Increase PUFA in diet!

Enzymes = different forms of particular enzymes with different temperature optima  isozymes 4 different forms of ATPase Each with a separate thermal performance curve

Enzymes Alligator lizard Fence lizard Desert Fringed Lizard Desert Iguana  isozymes

Heat Shock Proteins Under High Temperatures, Proteins unfold (denature) How can you protect Cells during protein denaturation?

“Heat Shock Proteins” protect against heat damage  = proteins synthesized in response to cellular stress (including high temps)  function as “molecular chaperones” Protein denatures from Heat Heat increases HSP expression increases (more HSP) HSP binds up denatured protein Heat decreases HSP lets go, protein can refold

Cataglyphis Ants Other insects stop foraging Cataglyphis spend minutes In the tunnel to the nest, making heat shock proteins to protect their cells while they are out on the desert foraging >50C on sand 45C in nest entrance <30C inside nest

Temperature Acclimatization Biochemical –Membrane dynamics Colder? Incoporate more PUFA Hotter? Use less PUFA –Enzyme types and concentrations Colder or hotter? Change isozyme Goldfish Swimming Speed

Extreme Cold! (ectotherms) Avoid FreezingTolerate Freezing

How do some ectotherms deal with extreme cold? Avoid Freezing Option 1: use antifreeze compounds  colligative antifreezes = lower freezing point by colligative properties e.g., glycerol, sorbitol, mannitol  Non-colligative antifreezes = lower freezing point b/c of special chemical properties

Non-colligative antifreezes: Glycoprotein - polar groups; bind to ice crystals & prevent their growth (lowers the temp at which ice crystals enlarge)

Non-colligative antifreezes: expression of genes for antifreeze protein increase seasonally… …and freezing point decreases seasonally in winter flounder.

How do some ectotherms deal with extreme cold? Avoid Freezing Option 1: use antifreeze compounds Option 2: supercooling * -with gradual cooling, a liquid may remain unfrozen well below its freezing point… -…in the absence of ice nucleating agents * Lowers the temperature at which ice crystals form

Tolerate Freezing Option 3: promote extracellular ice formation… How do some ectotherms deal with extreme cold? Avoid Freezing Option 1: use antifreeze compounds Option 2: supercooling

 animals must remain inactive  ice formation is restricted to extracellular fluid As ECF freezes… Water drawn from cell Ice nucleating agents promote freezing Promoting extracellular ice formation (65% frozen)(70% frozen) (50% frozen)
