During winter, when it is cold and freezing outside, all we want to do is stay wrapped up in our blankets and remain in bed. 36 During times like these, one might envy animals like bears, who doze through the coldest season and wake up fresh in the spring. But how do they go without food for such a long time
37 Because of terrible weather and shortages of food, certain animals hibernate(冬眠) to save energy and survive. Hibernation involves a significant slowdown of the metabolism(新陈代谢) and a drop in body temperature. Reducing their metabolism allows these animals to conserve energy during those long cold months.
To understand the need for hibernation, we first must understand the difference between endothermic and ectothermic organisms. Ectotherms are those animals whose body temperatures depend on the surrounding temperature. 38 Usually, they have a body temperature that changes with the temperature of their environment. They depend on things like sunlight or the surface of heated rocks to warm up. 39 They are also known as “cold-blooded” animals, which include fish, amphibians,and reptiles.
On the contrary, endotherms can regulate their own body temperature by generating internal heat. They are capable of maintaining their physiological body temperature in a stable range, regardless of the changes in the environment. Endotherms adjust their metabolic heat production and insulation to stay warm, whereas during hot weather, they sweat to cool down. Endotherms are capable of maintaining a steady temperature as compared to their changing surroundings. They are called “warm-blooded” animals, and include mammals and birds. 40
A. Conversely, they seek shade to cool down.
B. A cup of noodles or hot chocolate also helps.
C. Most animals usually try to gain as much weight as they can before they hibernate.
D. Hibernation is an energy-saving adaptation to protect against unpleasant conditions.
E. Thus, many animals hibernate to save energy and survive these bad winter conditions.
F. Metabolism is the process through which our body changes the food we eat into energy.
G. This means that they depend on their external environment to regulate their body temperature.
